NON IRONED CLOTHES CHALLENGE, KPR Institute Engineering and Technology, Autonomous Engineering Institution, Coimbatore, India

Students learnt how to save energy, in turn save electricity and save environment through this event.

We are proud to share that our Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, in association with the Energy Swaraj Foundation, organized the 'WAH! - Wrinkles Achhe Hain' movement. Dr.K.Mohanasundaram, Professor and Head / EEE welcomed the gathering. Also he shared 'Climate Correction Day (CCD) Challenge' is a proactive effort aimed at combating climate change by encouraging individuals to minimize their environmental footprint through changes in behaviour. The consumption of energy and materials contributes to emissions and environmental harm but conserving them equates to preserving the environment and endorsing climate-friendly solutions. Despite all the developments in renewable energy technologies, about 75% of electricity that we use in India comes from Coal. Due to this, every unit of electricity that we use results in approximately 800 gm to 1 kg of CO2 emission. The CO2 has a very long lifetime in atmosphere of about 300 years. CO2 is a greenhouse gas, which causes global warming of planet. Therefore, each unit of electricity used, will release CO2 in the atmosphere, which is going to add to global warming for 300 years. In our daily, personal and professional life we end up mis-using, over-using and in-efficiently using electricity. A little alertness about the use of electricity can help us to save easily about 10 to 30% electricity, to save energy and money. A photo session was arranged and the vote of thanks was delivered by Ms.R.Revathi, AP (Sr.G) / EEE.
