The Electrical Engineering Section staff have taken another initiative to promote the green office concept and reduce plastic waste. They have started using eco-friendly grocery bags and reusable plastic-free bottles. Dr. Teofilo suggested this activity to the section, and the electrical section head distributed steel bottles and eco-friendly grocery bags to all the section staff. This initiative is a great step towards reducing plastic waste and promoting a sustainable environment.

The use of eco-friendly grocery bags and reusable bottles can significantly reduce the amount of plastic waste generated in the office. This initiative can inspire other sections and departments to adopt similar practices and promote   green office concept. The reduction of plastic waste is an important issue, and this initiative is a positive step towards addressing it.
