This report summarizes our effort in identifying good
environmental practices to assist the company in
enhancing its sustainability. In particular, we would like
to reduce the water consumption of the company, as
well as support the installation of solar panels to harvest
solar energy.
Participating in this project helped us learn and
understand how waste can be converted to other
products to reduce the overall carbon footprint. These
are valuable lessons, and through this project, we learn
that our efforts make a difference to the environment.
