Animals: What Rights?
Our world today endures several environmental issues such as global warming and the greenhouse effect. We all know that these are hazardous to the ozone layer of the earth’s atmosphere. We, humans are also exploiting the earth’s resources. These issues have been a major concern for all the nations as it directly affects each individual and the biodiversity of environment. World-wide consciousness has made it possible for us to decrease the affects of these problems by equally cooperating. All the nations are concerned of the consequences. This was reflected at a summit 3-4 months ago that focused on the conditions of our environment today. It was attended by several nations.
Likewise, the RIS community has set a proactive approach regarding the environment. The environmental policy established 7-8 years ago, basically focuses on utilizing our environment and its resources, effectively. The key point is to Help Keep RIS Green & Clean. Some of the key factors include:
• The 3 R’s – recycling, reducing and reusing (paper, bottles, cans, etc.)
• Reusing paper by photocopying
• Conserving nature (plants, trees, etc.)
• Conserving electricity (turning off the lights and AC when not using, etc.)
• Preserving water.
• Banning Styrofoam.
• Throwing wastes in the trash-can.
• Using resources effectively (plastic, etc.)
This environmental policy declared by RIS has another major impact and that is towards increasing
the awareness amongst the students of all ages who will be the future leaders. This increased awareness right from the childhood will contribute greatly in future. RIS community has established a detailed document that clearly speaks of RIS community’s concern for environment protection and provides guidance to everyone for conducting in a responsible manner towards the environment. Clubs in High School such as the Seeds Club carries this goal further of maintaining a positive environment. RIS is one of the few schools
