AFM Advisory: uCARE practices
The Assets and Facilities Management Group (AFM) has installed uCARE signage in various areas of the University to remind everyone to care for the environment and the University's resources. Everyone is encouraged to practice the following uCARE tips:
- Turn off the light when not in use.
- Use natural light when it is bright.
- Use the stairs when you can.
- Close the door when the air conditioning is on.
- Save water.
- Take only the tissue paper that you need, not more.
- Segregate your trash.
uCARE (University Conserve and Reduce Energy) is a joint project of AFM and the Corporate Social Responsibility Unit (CSR) that aims to raise awareness of the proper care of our University community. This campaign was a final project of the NSTP students in collaboration with the Corporate Communications Office.
