There are a number of major ways of reducing negative human impact. The first of these is
environmental management. This approach is based largely on information gained from earth
science, environmental science and conservation biology. Sustainable development refers to a
mode of human development in which resource use aims to meet human needs while ensuring
the sustainability of natural systems and the environment, Sustainable development meets the
needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own
needs. It is about the ecology, economy & equity. It requires Maintaining life supporting natural
capital in order for our socio economic goals to be met. EFSO helps in creating a lifestyle that
works with nature & does no long term damage & try to sustain natural resources in day to day
life. EFSO encourages for eco friendly baby steps in our day to day life..

Green Energy
Green Energy refers to energy which is generated without harming nature. Green energy
includes non traditional energy sources like Sun, Wind, Tides,etc. Green energy is an energy that
is limitless in nature. Types of green energy are solar (sun), wind and geothermal. All three of
these types of energy naturally replenished by nature.

Green energy is any renewable, clean and safe resource provided by the natural environment
that does not need to be extracted, and they include solar, wind, tidal and hydrogen fuel cell
power
Sustainable energy is the sustainable provision of energy that meets the needs of the present
without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. Technologies that
promote sustainable energy include renewable energy sources, such as hydroelectricity, solar
energy, wind energy, wave power, geothermal energy, artificial photosynthesis, and tidal power,
and also technologies designed to improve energy efficiency.
EFSO is promoting Green Energy mainly solar power & pursuing the Govt. & corporates to adopt
solar power energy to run their institutions & create an example of complete sustainable work
culture. EFSO works with visionary leaders & organizations to adopt the best sustainable efforts
& gives opportunity to its employees to achieve their full potential.

Organic clothing

Organic clothing is clothing made from materials raised or grown in compliance with organic
agricultural standards.[citation needed] Organic clothing may be composed of cotton, jute, silk,
ramie, or wool Organic cotton is generally understood as cotton and is grown from non
genetically modified plants, that is to be grown without the use of any synthetic agricultural
chemicals such as fertilizers or pesticides. Its production also promotes and enhances biodiversity
and biological cycles.
Eco-sportswear
From shoes to shirts and everything in between, Robert Phillips takes a closer look at
the eco sports gear on offer
Football kit has traditionally been made from polyester; an entirely synthetic fabric made from
chemicals found in petroleum via an energy-intensive and environmentally damaging process.
Making the polyester fibres involves burning large quantities of crude oil, which releases harmful
pollutants into the atmosphere such as volatile organic compounds (VOC’s). The majority of
football strips are still made from this material, often with a small amount of pesticide-treated
cotton blended in. Happily, some clubs have opted for a more eco-friendly approach in recent
years, using kit made from recycled plastic bottles. Dan Box has said, Nike has been making
an effort in recent years to promote a greener lifestyle, particularly in the US. Shirts in the
Considered Design range (www.nike.com) use up eight recycled bottles each, and Inter Milan, FC
Porto and Arsenal (pictured bottom right) all wear them. There are also numerous brands out
that make eco-friendly alternatives to general sportswear.
Sustainable clothing
Sustainable clothing refers to fabrics derived from eco-friendly resources, such as sustainably
grown fiber crops or recycled materials. It also refers to how these fabrics are made. Sustainable
clothing has expanded towards (1) reducing the amount of clothing discarded to landfills, and (2)
decreasing the environmental impact of agro-chemicals in producing conventional fiber crops
(e.g. cotton). Under the accordance of sustainability, recycled clothing upholds the principle of
the “Three R’s of the Environment”: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle, as well as the “Three Legs of
Sustainability”: Economics, Ecology, and Social Equity. Sustainable Clothing will provide a new
market for additional job opportunities, continuous net flow of money in the economy, and the
reduction of raw materials and virgin resources. Source reduction or reducing the use of raw
materials and virgin resources can ultimately reduce carbon emissions during the manufacturing
process as well as the resources and carbon emissions that are related to the transportation
process. This also prevents the unsustainable usage of extracting materials from the Earth by
making use of what has already been used (i.e. recycling).

Organic Cotton

Cotton covers 55% of the world's cultivated land yet uses 75% of the world's insecticides, more
than any other single major crop. Other environmental consequences of the elevated use of
chemicals in the non organic cotton growing methods consist of: High levels of agrochemicals are
used in the production of non-organic, conventional cotton. Cotton production uses more
chemicals per unit area than any other crop and accounts in total for 10-16% of the world's
pesticides (including herbicides, insecticides, and defoliants) Chemicals used in the processing of
cotton pollute the air and surface waters.
