At the current era, IT is undeniably at its way up. High, advanced and fast-changing technologies arise as fast as a blink of an eye.

But all these convenience of technology comes with a price. It's the after effect of what these technologies are causing. We are aware that pollution is at its highest rate today especially with all the advancement that the world has been made. But many of us neglect that ideas of what could happen in the future.

The students, faculty and other users should abide to these rules.

Here are some sites where you can visit that will help you be enlightened on the ideas that we are pursuing:
