“绿色校园”环境保护倡议书
环境教育是提高全民族思想道德素质和科学文化素质的基本手段之一，为了增强大家的环境保护意识，让校园、班级环境更加整洁靓丽，有利于创建绿色和谐的校园环境，现在我们——“绿色校园”环境保护志愿者活动小组恳切的向同学们提出倡议：从现在起，在各班开展“塑料瓶与废纸回收”等一系列有利于环境保护的相关活动。活动目的就是要让同学们在学习生活中养成尊重和珍惜他人劳动、爱护环境的良好行为习惯，活动给各位同学和班级带来各种益处的同时，也让我们大家赖以安心学习的校园更加美丽整洁，达到人与自然和谐相处的境界。 倡议要求全体同学做到如下几点： 1、废纸及使用过的塑料瓶等废品不要随手丢弃，要自觉养成良好的行为习惯。 2、以班级为单位，各班应将废弃物放到指定的回收箱。每周二由劳动委员将回收箱交到相关的指定地点。 3、环保志愿者小组每周二在环保志愿者小组回收室进行统一回收各班上交的废品。 4、每学期期末评出“环保先进班级”，并予以一定的物质奖励或奖金。 最后，让我们同心协力，用实际行动为班级，为校园尽一份力量，从我做起，从珍惜一张纸开始，积极创建绿色节约型校园，为实现人与自然和谐共处的校园，而做出自己应有的贡献。

1.关于环保的资料
环保是现代生活中人类面临的最大问题.要解决这一问题必须从基础做起.
首先,要大量宣传,提高人们的觉悟与认识,加强环保意识.
其次,要进行废物回收利用,减少对森林树木的砍伐.还要加强对白色污染的处理,少使用塑料制品.
最后,要对清洁方面作改进.使市容更整洁.
为了地球的明天,我们必须从现在开始努力,要好好地保护环境.于此我们提出如下建议:
实行垃圾分类袋装化.这样不仅能减少环卫工人的工作量,还能更好地起到废物利用,减少污染,节约资源.
买菜时,少用塑料袋,尽量用竹篮子.
用笔尽量用可换芯的,减少圆珠笔外壳的浪费与垃圾量.
外出吃饭尽量不用一次性饭盒.

从喝纯水想起
时下,饮用水正成为一种潮流.尽管媒介不只一次地介绍过饮用水的种种弊端,但"饮用水"族仍然日益扩大.
饮用水不单单指纯水,还包括矿泉水,蒸馏水甚至太空水等等. 而我们喝着长大的自来水则成了相对的"非饮用水". 我们并不排除目前饮用水风靡,炒作起了一定的作用, 但它反映了当前水体污染的严重已经到了难以下口的程度.
有报道说:"据报道979年对全国798座城镇的调查, 全国日污水排放量为国为民258万吨, 其中工业废水占用819,生活污水占据199. 1989年对全国代表大会854个城镇进行调查,每天的排放量达365.3亿吨.其中工业废水达成协议5.5亿吨. 这些废水绝大部分未经处理就直接排放, 污染了江河湖海.
此外, 更有一个不争的事实摆在每个上海人面前.上海的母亲河黄埔江,50年代中期(1958年)之前是一条水质清澈,鱼虾成群的河道,1962年水质开始受到污染, 1963年开始出现为期22天的黑臭期,1988年上升到场29天,占全年约2/3, 水质不合格江段占64.5km,占全长113.5km的56.99%.
水污染的危害是不是不言而喻的.水体污染,水质恶化对人体健康和人类生活,生产都带来了严重的危害.
水是人类赖以生存的重要物质,洁净的人能给人们带来葱茏花木,鸟语花香,恬静舒适,美丽如画的优美环境,给人们带来宁静,愉悦和和平.但是今天污染了的水给人们带来的是痛苦,恐怖和灾难.为了使生活更美好,让秀丽的山水永驻人间,让清水长流不断,人们已越来越清晰地认识到防止水污染的重要性.

2.2005年，一场“环保风暴”在中国内地刮起，30个总投资达1179亿多元的在建项目被国家环保总局叫停，其中包括同属正部级单位的三峡总公司的三个项目。理由是，这些项目未经环境影响评价，属于未批先建的违法工程。
环境恶化无路可退中国的环境问题并非始自今日。早在上世纪90年代，环境污染问题就已非常严重。如淮河流域。在上世纪90年代五类水质就占到了80％，整个淮河常年就如同一条巨大的污水沟。1995年，由环境污染造成的经济损失达到1875亿元。
据中科院测算，目前由环境污染和生态破坏造成的损失已占到GDP总值的15％，这意味着一边是9％的经济增长，一边是15％的损失率。环境问题，已不仅仅是中国可持续发展的问题，已成为吞噬经济成果的恶魔。
目前，中国的荒漠化土地已达267.4万多平方公里；全国18个省区的471个县、近4亿人口的耕地和家园正受到不同程度的荒漠化威胁，而且荒漠化还在以每年1万多平方公里的速度在增长。
七大江河水系中，完全没有使用价值的水质已超过40％。全国668座城市，有400多个处于缺水状态。其中有不少是由水质污染引起的。如浙江省宁波市，地处甬江、姚江、奉化江三江交汇口，却因水质污染，最缺水时需要靠运水车日夜不停地奔跑，将乡村河道里的水运进城里的各个企业。
中国平均1万元的工业增加值，需耗水330立方米，并产生230立方米污水；每创造1亿元GDP就要排放28.8万吨废水。还有大量的生活污水。其中80％以上未经处理，就直接排放进河道，要不了10年，中国就会出现无水可用的局面。
全国1/3的城市人口呼吸着严重污染的空气，有1/3的国土被酸雨侵蚀。经济发达的浙江省，酸雨覆盖率已达到100％。酸雨发生的频率，上海达11％，江苏大概为12％。华中地区以及部分南方城市，如宜宾、怀化、绍兴、遵义、宁波、温州等，酸雨频率超过了90％。
在中国，基本消除酸雨污染所允许的最大二氧化硫排放量为1200万~1400万吨。而2003年，全国二氧化硫排放量就达到2158.7万吨，比2002年增长12％，其中工业排放量增加了14.7％。按照目前的经济发展速度。以及污染控制方式和力度，到2020年，全国仅火电厂排放的二氧化硫就将达2100万吨以上，全部排放量将超过大气环境容量1倍以上，这对生态环境和民众健康将是一场严重灾难。
1月27日，瑞士达沃斯世界经济论坛上有人预言，如果再不加以整治，人类历史上突发性环境危机对经济、社会体系的最大摧毁，很可能会在不久的将来出现在中国。
治理污染陷于两难有一种说法，要在经济发展的同时控制好环境，在环保方面的投入须达到GDP的1.5％以上。但这是在环境保护本来就非常良好的情况下，在中国，根据上海的经验，要真正有效地控制环境，环保投入须占到GDP的3％以上。而在过去20年里，中国每年在环保方面的投入，在90年代上半期是0.5％，最近几年也只有1％多一点。环保是一种“奢侈性消费”，投入大，对GDP贡献小，因此，一些本应用于环保方面的专项资金，也被挪作他用。
目前中国在环境问题上进退两难:再不治理，未来无法保障；真要治理，则需大规模投入，眼前的经济又难以承受。
有人算过，云南滇池周边的企业在过去20年间，总共只创造了几十亿元产值，但要初步恢复滇池水质，至少得花几百亿元，这是全云南省一年的财政收入。淮河流域的小造纸厂，20年累计产值不过500亿元。但要治理其带来的污染，即使是干流达到起码的灌溉用水标准也需要投入3000亿元。要恢复到20世纪70年代的三类水质，不仅花费是个可怕的数字，时间也至少需要100年。
违法成本低执法成本高就微观角度说，在过去20年里，国内制造业在无法依靠技术进步降低能耗、降低成本的情况下，只能朝两个方面挖潜:一是工资，二是环保。最简单的事，例如水泥生产，要达到起码的环保要求，每吨水泥需增加8元成本，占水泥出厂价的5％。纺织业每年排放的废水超过10亿立方米.

The Quality of Life Committee, of which the Green Campus Subcommittee is a part, has taken on the task of investigating a university recycling program. The concern of this committee, as has been voiced by others on campus, is that the university as a whole needs to make a greater effort in recycling items on campus. Currently, there are many universities around the country that have recycling programs. The College and University Recycling Council (CURC; http://www.nrc-recycle.org/councils/CURC/) was formed in 1992 and became a technical council of the National Recycling Coalition in 1995. The mission of the CURC is “to organize and support environmental program leaders and institutions of higher ecation in managing resource recycling and waste issues.”
At Florida Tech, a green campus survey was administered to determine the level and need for awareness of recycling on campus. A sample size of 251 people, which included 5% of all students on Melbourne Campus and 7% of all Florida Tech’s employees (i.e., faculty and staff) was given a survey, which asked the level of importance of recycling to them and if they would participate in recycling program.The survey also asked which items they think should be recycled. In the sample size, over 97% agreed that Florida Tech should have a recycling program. Additionally, 95% said that they would participate in recycling program if one was established on campus. A list of items was presented for respondents to choose which items should be recycled. The three items they indicated the most were paper at 97%, aluminum cans at 90% and plastic at 84%. Some unsolicited qualitative information from staff and faculty was also provided ring the survey process. Some of the comments included:
“I hope y’all adopt a recycling program here. I feel terribly guilty every time I throw away paper from the printer that I know could be recycled.”
“I’m all for recycling, and it’s always baffled me why a school with programs in science, technology, biology, environmental science and ecology doesn’t recycle!”
“If this means, would you recycle? “The answer is yes,” I would continue to do so. Further, I would provide stronger encouragement to others in our office.”
It seems evident that the climate on campus for recycling is ripe. However, in order for the campus community to buy into this program, the University should step up efforts to facilitate recycling opportunities. The following are some recommendations from the subcommittee to implement a more comprehensive recycling program on campus.
Green Campus Subcommittee Recommendations:
This committee recommends to Florida Tech that:
It join the College and University Recycling Council (CURC)
Build awareness and emphasize the value of recycling on campus via newspaper articles, fliers, forum messages, etc.
Identify locations of recycling receptacles on campus.
Identify possible grant funding agencies.
Provide funding for the following:
transportation to pick up recyclables
recycling containers
central storage area
compensation for manpower to the appropriate department for supervision of this program
By joining this CURC, Florida Tech will have access to technical assistance, ecation and training as well as networking opportunities and support for a recycling program. This will help us to build awareness on campus for recycling and the good it will do for the university and the community. By identifying locations for recycling receptacles on campus, the awareness on campus for recycling will be heightened even more. There are also opportunities to generate revenue from recycling. Based on some of the information obtained about revenue from turning in recyclables and the amount of recycling already done on campus, this program could pay for itself in short period of time. Currently with the help of Alpha Phi Omega this campus is already recycling paper nine months out of the year and there is a program also underway to recycle aluminum cans to benefit Habitat for Humanity. Consequently, the precedent has been set on campus for recycling and to elevate this to the next level should be a natural progression of the program.
