Greetings, you avid "Greeners".

This website is dedicated to entice you lot into saving our environment. We have established a belief that you all will commit yourselves into

"UBD Greenatopia".

The environment is everyone’s business; we are all its stewards. Nonetheless, we still manage to cripple Nature with out industrial obsessions: our cars, electronics, and energy demands. The effects of our actions are great. CO2 emissions from our automobiles are causing global climate change; dependence upon fossil fuels for energy often defines international geopolitics.

There are many things that you can do to help the environment. If many people start thinking ‘green’ now and lessening their demand on the environment just a little by doing small green activities, these little things that will have huge positive effects.

However, UBD would like to take this a step further, being pro-active and committed to our drive in helping the environment, not just for the moment but to make it make it a long-term commitment and part of the UBD community’s lifestyle.

DO YOU KNOW THAT....

Every ton of recycled office paper saves 380 gallons of oil.

Energy saved from one recycled aluminum can will operate a TV set for 3 hours, and is the equivalent to half a can of gasoline.

Americans use 50 million tons of paper annually -- consuming more than 850 million trees.

The incandescent light bulbs in our homes are 5% efficient? That means that 95% percent of the power you pay for to light your home is wasted!

One ton of carbon dioxide that is released in the air can be prevented by replacing every 75 watt light bulbs with energy efficient bulbs.

If just 25% of U.S. families used 10 fewer plastic bags a month, we would save over 2.5 BILLION bags a year.

Many idle electronics – TVs, VCRs, DVD and CD players, cordless phones and microwaves – use energy even when switched off to keep display clocks lit and memory chips and remote controls working
