Explanation Sustainability is a guiding principle of “modern environmental science”. It means a balancing act and the ability to sustain the natural properties of environment so that they remain diverse, productive and available indefinitely for the present as well as for future generation also, is sustainable use of natural resources. The sustainability efforts that are being made on an individual’s campus are as follows: (i) By recycling waste. (ii) By waste reduction. (ii) Use of energy efficiency. (iv) Productive measures to reduce global climate change. The results produced by these sustainable efforts on campuses are: (i) Recycling and waste reduction has reduced the waste output in campuses. Recycling of products like plastic and papers reduce the pressure on nature for resources. (ii) The energy efficiency resulted in the consumption of less electricity on campuses. The energy is easily conserved on campuses by using of compact fluorescent light bulb (CFL) instead of tungsten bulbs because CFL bulbs consume less electricity as compared to normal electric bulbs...
