Week 9: Fieldwork – On Campus Observation: IIUM as a Sustainable Campus – Students as Agents of Change (10/12/2024)

Here we go! It was another week for intriguing on campus observation and this time my group members and I chose to explore the area of KAED as we focused on students as agents of change in promoting and practising sustainable way of life. Recycling is a great way to contribute to campus sustainability and make a difference as a student and member of the IIUM community. We are encouraged to properly separate waste by sorting it into the allocated recycling bins for plastics, paper, and aluminium, which can be found at KAED and other Kuliyyah areas. We should actively recycle because it decreases waste in landfills, conserves natural resources, and reduces greenhouse gas emissions, all of which benefit the environment in the long run. Universities are undeniably engines of creativity and culture. Therefore, by practicing sustainability, we can implement our knowledge, energy, and skills to help establish a community that values environmental responsibility.
