In Search of Environmental-Oriented Campus: A Lesson from Managing Higher Education Institutions (Heis) Strategically and Profitably
並列摘要
The challenge of being the agent of change and main actor in supporting the environmentally sustainable development has put higher-education institutions (HEIs) in its strategic position to inspire and lead its stakeholders in implementing the environment-oriented economic and social growth. The role of higher-education institutions (HEIs) in promoting sustainable development (SD) is very important as HEIs are areas where learning is facilitated. In this relation, HEIs can promote SD through the integration of SD concepts in their curricula, as well as through the implementation of SD in various operations of those institutions. A latter case is analyzed, wherein the material recovery potential of three Philippine universities was determined. It was found that approximately 90% of solid wastes in faculty rooms in the three Philippine HEIs are potentially recoverable, as residual wastes only account for 6%-11%. Furthermore, it is estimated that monetary returns from these recoverable materials range between the rates of P1.59 ($.04)-P11.98 ($.28) per day ($1.00=P43.00, 2011). It is argued that HEIs of the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) may also have high material recovery potential, which can be validated through research as shown by the case of three campuses in the Philippines. The practice of HEIs recovering marketable wastes are important to achieving goals of SD, and helping to create a cluster of sustainable and green ASEAN HEIs by 2015 and beyond.
