According to WHO, air pollution kills at least 7 million people annually. The deaths are from conditions like stroke, lung cancer, obstructive respiratory diseases. 

Data from the World Health Organization shows that more than 90% of the world population is exposed to air pollutants above the organization’s health limits. But is there a solution from the environmental benefits of solar energy?

The use of environmental-friendly energy options can solve the problem of energy.

One industry that can play a critical role in environmental conservation is solar energy. Installing a single solar panel is equivalent to planting 150 trees in a year.

What are the Environmental Benefits Solar Energy?

1. Reduction of air pollution

Fossil fuels are the primary contributors to air pollution in the world. The fuels release sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide, which are suspended in the atmosphere. When it rains, the chemicals cause acid rain, which is 

also not safe. Apart from that, the gases can cause respiratory complications and other diseases leading to death.

Solar energy can solve the problem of air pollution as an alternative to fossil fuels. The panels do not emit any gases to the environment from installation to use.

2. Water conservation

Power plants require approximately 700 gallons of water for cooling. On the other hand, solar panels do not need water or extra equipment to produce electricity. Therefore, solar power can increase water supply, especially in major cities where the resource is scarce.

Fossil fuels like coal and petroleum use a lot of water in the generation, refining, cleaning, and transportation. Considering that freshwater is becoming a rare resource, it is prudent to conserve water sources. Solar panels work well where there is enough sunlight throughout the day- mostly in arid and semi-arid areas. Water is a scarce resource in these areas, and an option to conserve what is available will have a significant impact on residents’ livelihoods. The residents can use the water for agriculture and other vital needs.

3. Reduces carbon footprint

The current American carbon footprint per capita is around 16 metric tons annually. In comparison, the amount is almost 4 times the global carbon footprint average per person.

The safe limit of carbon emissions per person is approximately 3 metric tons per year. Greenhouse gases have led to climate disruptions across the globe. We have seen an increase in natural calamities like drought and floods. According to projections, temperatures could increase by up to 4°C if we do not cut the current carbon footprint by half. By 2050, summers and winters will be warmer than in the current global average.

Renewable energy sources are the way to go to sail through the storm of climate change. Solar energy can play a significant role in the eradication of carbon dioxide by replacing fossil fuels.

Every year, the world uses 11 billion tons of oil. The deposits of fossil fuels are decreasing at a rate of 4 billion tons every year. If the current oil consumption trend continues, the resource could be depleted in the next 53 years.

But what could happen in the case of fossil fuel resource depletion? We could not only run out of an energy source, but it could also be detrimental to life on earth.

The depletion of natural resources has detrimental effects on the economy.

Solar power can be an excellent alternative to conventional energy sources. It helps in the conservation of the environment through the reduction of pollutants and the protection of resources. Apart from that, as a renewable energy source, the sun can never be depleted even in a billion years. Tap the environmental benefits of solar energy to conserve the earth for future generations through solar installation on your commercial or residential property.

Worldwide, Each year, we celebrate Solar Appreciation Day on March 11th. Solar energy is light and heat from the Sun collected using solar water heating, photovoltaics, solar thermal energy, solar architecture, and more. During this day, you can learn more about solar technology. Granted, this is something you can learn any day. However, during the appreciation day, there is an emphasis on solar energy’s importance, independence, and sustainability it brings.

There are many benefits of the sun. The sun takes center stage from warming the seas to stirring up the atmosphere or generating weather patterns. The sun also gives energy to plants giving people and animals food. Did you know the sun releases serotonin, a chemical that cheers you up? Apart from making you happy, solar energy is at the center of green energy discussion.

Solar power is one of the newest forms of energy. There’s a lot of curiosity and interest surrounding it. Mostly because of the benefits that solar energy has to the environment and the low costs that it boasts.

One of the things you can do during Solar Appreciation Day is to learn about the advantages of energy. You can also research more on the topic to have a broader understanding. Solar power is praised for providing clean and sustainable energy. It is also reliable, and it lowers the cost of electricity for homes and businesses alike. Installing solar energy also gives businesses a chance to enjoy tax cuts or rebates. Also, using solar power exempts you from price and demand fluctuations. 

Did you know that fossil fuels negatively impact the environment in pursuit to power the world? They result in water pollution from spillage, harmful emissions even before they are burned, and global warming. However, solar power is clean energy because it does not harm the environment. The resource is also readily available in most parts of the globe, and it cannot be metered to cause a spike in prices.

If your device has a power switch and is powered by a battery, it’s considered a small electronic. Small electronics include cell phones, tablet computers, MP3 players and digital cameras. Small electronics are not only easy to recycle, but they are sometimes the most valuable products you can recycle.

Small Electronics Recycling Preparation:

If it’s possible to factory reset your electronics, this should be your first step in recycling. 

Delete any pictures or songs from your devices.

For electronics using a lithium-ion battery, remove the battery if possible. These batteries require a special transportation procedure, and can be recycled with other rechargeable batteries. 

Rechargeable batteries come in all shapes and sizes. You’ll find them in your car as well as most electronic devices such as cell phones, tablets, and laptop computers. There are also rechargeable replacements for common household alkaline batteries. No matter the variety,  when rechargeable batteries no longer hold a charge, it’s important to recycle them to reclaim useful materials like mercury, lead, cadmium, nickel, silver, cobalt, lithium, or graphite and to ensure proper handling of potentially dangerous chemicals.

To find your nearest battery recycling location, jump to the recycling locator.

Find Recycling Guides for Other Materials

Cell Phones recycling: 

The Consumer Electronics Association expects a cell phone to last less than five years and that’s assuming you don’t decide to upgrade to new technology every two years.

The good news is that cell phones have the highest recycling market of any electronic material. The bad news is that in the U.S., we only recycle 10 percent of our phones, according to the EPA. The rest may end up in a landfill, but more likely end up in our desk drawers or garages.

Cell Phone Recycling Preparation:

1. If you bought a new phone, make sure to transfer the data from your old phone. The store can often help with this.
2. Locate the settings screen on your phone and factory reset it so all your data is removed. As an added precaution, you can also remove the SIM card.
3. If the cell phone battery is removable, you’ll want to take it out. Most cell phone batteries are lithium-ion batteries, which require special transportation for recycling, so this is especially important if using a manufacturer’s mail-back program.

Recycling on campus is simple with EvCC’s comprehensive co-mingled recycling program! Blue and green recycling containers are located next to trash containers in all campus buildings. Use these containers as a single source for recycling for:

• Paper
• Plastic
• Aluminum
• Tin
• Glass

Commingled Materials means acceptable items such as aluminum cans and foil products, steel or tin cans, bi-metal cans, glass bottles, jars and jugs, plastic bottles, tubs, lids, and containers, which are not separated by type, but are mixed (mingled) together in one container.

The more we recycle, the less garbage winds up in our landfills and incineration plants. By reusing aluminum, paper, glass, plastics, and other materials, we can save production and energy costs, and reduce the negative impacts that the extraction and processing of virgin materials has on the environment.

Modern light bulbs have a longer life span than ever. Eventually though, they need to be replaced. This is where it gets tricky, because different types of light bulbs require different types of disposal.

How to Dispose of Incandescent Light Bulbs

Incandescent Light Bulbs are the easiest to dispose because they can be thrown in the household trash. In most cases, the amount of metal and glass in incandescent light bulbs is too small and complicated to recover by recycling. However, check local sources to see if your recycling center accepts incandescent lightbulbs.

If the bulb is broken, wrap the pieces securely in heavy paper such as newsprint, so that glass shards don’t cut through the garbage bag. This makes garbage pickup safer for both you and the waste collector. 

Incandescent bulbs can be upcycled, or used for another project. Research online for safe ways to prep incandescent bulbs for crafts. Then have fun transforming old bulbs into new decor.

How to Dispose of Halogen Bulbs

Halogen Bulbs can be thrown away safely in the household trash. They pose little environmental threat but are difficult to recycle. Halogen bulbs are made from thicker glass than incandescent bulbs, so they won’t break as easily. However, it is still wise to wrap a halogen bulb before throwing it away. Place the spent bulb in the packaging the new bulb comes in and then toss the entire thing. If you are intent on recycling, check your local recycling center to see if they accept halogen bulbs. 

How to Dispose of CFL Bulbs

Compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFL) are a popular bulb style. CFL use less energy than incandescent bulbs and are available in various shapes. However, these bulbs should never be thrown away in household trash. CFL bulbs contain mercury, which is toxic to humans and pets. Even though most bulbs contain only about 4 milligrams, CFL bulbs thrown into a landfill can leak toxins into groundwater and taint the drinking water supply in the local area. Proper light bulb disposal is one small way to support the long-term health of your community.

There are several retailers who accept intact and undamaged CFL bulbs for recycling. There are also a few online services that allow you to mail in bulbs to be recycled.

If a CFL bulb breaks inside your home, clean it up immediately using these tips:

• Get everyone, including pets, out of the room. 
• Open the windows, turn off the HVAC system, and close the door if possible. 
• Allow the room to air out for at least 10 minutes, then follow EPA guidelines for cleanup. 

How to Dispose of LED Bulbs

Many people throw away LED light bulbs, but they should be recycled. LEDs use tiny microchips to conduct electrical current. These include trace amounts of heavy metals such as lead and arsenic. Some communities have recycling collections for LED bulbs to try to prevent them from ending up in a landfill.

It is always a good idea to see what options exist for LED recycling rather than to outright trash them. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency publishes a list of places that recycle light bulbs. Also check with The Home Depot in your area to see if they recycle LED light bulbs. 

How to Dispose of Fluorescent Tubes

Like CFLs , CFLs contain mercury. The glass in the tube is very fragile. They are not permitted to be thrown away in regular trash or put out curbside for collection as they are considered to be hazardous waste. Some local recycling programs have special recycling protocols for these tubes. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency publishes a list of places that recycle these light bulbs. 

The main problem with disposing light bulbs is that the rules and options vary widely, even across a single region. Always check with your local waste management authorities to find out the guidelines for recycling light bulbs, or what light bulb disposal options are available in your community. They will have the most up-to-date recycling information for your region.

Batteries are manufactured using different mixtures of chemical elements designed to meet customers’ power and performance needs. Batteries can contain metals such as mercury, lead, cadmium, nickel and silver, which can pose a threat to human health or the environment when improperly managed at the end of their service life. 

Once a battery is no longer useful, the type and chemistry of the battery determines which of the various waste management options to use. It is important to manage batteries correctly according to their type because some batteries can cause a risk to safety and health if mismanaged at the end of their lives. Batteries can have enough energy to injure or start fires even when used and when they appear to be discharged. For safety, remember that not all batteries are removable or serviceable by the user—heed battery and product markings regarding safety and use for all types of batteries.

Battery types are identified by marking and labeling, not by the battery’s shape or the color of the label.

Some batteries may also contain materials such as cobalt, lithium and graphite that are considered critical minerals by the United States Geological Survey. 

To prevent fires from lithium-ion batteries, tape battery terminals and/or place batteries in separate plastic bags and never put these batteries in household garbage or recycling bins.

Green Fee Project Examples

Many other colleges and universities in the Pacific Northwest (and nationwide) have taken to student fees to fund their sustainability and environmental goals. Here are some examples of projects they funded through these types of fees. Below are examples of projects that have been undertaken on other campuses, or potential project ideas generated by students for our campus.

Bike Rentals 

Bicycling is one of the most efficient modes of sustainable transportation in urban and suburban areas. Its a healthy and sustainable way to get around, and allowing students to rent bicycles has several benefits. Now with our two student housing buildings, a program like this just makes sense for our campus!

Climate Action Plan 

The climate action plan will build on our past progress and use the campus to confront the difficult questions posed by climate change and test promising new solutions that move the college, and the world, away from fossil fuels. 

It also helps students to understand and address the impacts of the climate crisis, empowering them with the knowledge, skills, values and attitudes needed to act as agents of change. The international community recognizes the importance of education and training to address climate change.

Eco-Scholarships

Some colleges have used the funds from their sustainability fees to offer mini-scholarships to STEM students, specifically those studying environmental sciences or engineering.

ADA Compliance and Improvements

Some colleges have invested in improving their accessibility standards for individuals with short and long-term disabilities. Sustainability isn’t just about protecting the environment, it also incorporates principles of social justice and equity, and one way to promote these principles is by removing barriers that may make it challenging for specific groups of people to achieve educational success.

Water Bottle Fill Stations

Did you know that in the United States alone, we go through enough disposable water bottles in one week to stretch around the globe two times. That’s a lot of plastic that ends up in landfills, estuaries and oceans. Though we already have a few water bottle fill stations, most buildings on campus still need to be retrofitted so we can continue to reduce our campuses reliance on disposable water bottles.

Background of the Green Fee:

In May 2018, EvCC students had the opportunity to vote on whether to assess the proposed Student Green Fee, a $0.50 (fifty cent) per credit fee, with a maximum of $7.50 for 15 credits that would fund various sustainability and environmentally-focused projects and activities on campus while giving the student body more influence over how the campus approaches sustainability. 

With 70% of ballots in favor of the proposed fee and board approval, fee collection began in Winter Quarter of 2019. The uses of the funds from this fee include:

• Creation of the Campus Sustainability Fund to provide funding and resources to the campus community in the effort to advance the sustainability goals of the College and the ASEvCC.
• Student employment opportunities in the Sustainability Office
• Supplemental funds for outreach, education and materials for the Sustainability Office.
• ASB Senate and BOT approved the Student Green Fee Financial Code 
•  and Agreement Document 
• as well as a Student Green Fee budget for the remainder of the fiscal year (Jan 2019-June 2019) in November, 2018.
