Loyola Schools - Environmental Initiatives

Environmental Initiatives

Recently, the Loyola Schools, as a community, have started major efforts in environmental impact reduction. These come under the banner of the Ateneo Environmental Management Coalition, a synergistic consortium of student organizations, administrative units, academic departments and external partners who share the common goal of fostering environmental sustainability as a common value for the community. The coalition takes pride in the diversity of approaches available to the body in fostering green efforts - allowing a healthy combination of the scientific and the systemic and, at the same time, ensuring maximal impact and participation from the community.

The initiatives have mostly been focused on solid waste management and water and energy resource management though parallel initiatives have been consistent in other areas - green architecture and design is being incorporated into new buildings on campus and major changes on student lifestyles through campaigns and participative exercises are also on the fore.
