The world is getting more responsible and aware of sustainability and green issues .. Watch this video of Novak Djokovic best shots in Australian Open 2020 (click here for video) .. Have you observed the ball boys and girls and the officials, their light green and blue dresses .. They are processed from about 1,89,000 used PET bottles from Tirupur in Tamil Nadu, the textile capital of india .. Also 40% of the energy used in the tournament comes from renewable solar and wind energy.. In short, the Australian Open in 2020 for the first time in the history of tennis is a Green Grand Slam.

The term 'Green Supply Chain Management' (GSCM) refers to the concept of integrating sustainable environmental processes into the traditional supply chain.
This can include integrating sustainable processes and practices into supply chain processes such as - product design,
- material sourcing and selection,
- manufacturing and production,
- operation and
- end-of-life management.
One of the best ways to start this activity is by administering a class quiz on green sustainability practices ... (click here, open for students from 8 PM IST on 4 Feb 2020..)
The next step to get the class interested in knowing more about the supply chain was to ask the students to practice something in their own life, by asking the class to observe a NO IMPACT WEEK.
No Impact Week is a UN mediated and recommended week held in many of the world's top organisations and top-tier educational institutes to create better awareness of the 2015 UN Paris Treaty which brought out the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 2015-2030) to look at different ways and means to contain global warming to less than 1.5 degrees C by 2099 AD.

No Impact Week is a UN mediated and recommended week held in many of the world's top organisations and top-tier educational institutes to create better awareness of the 2015 UN Paris Treaty which brought out the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 2015-2030) to look at different ways and means to contain global warming to less than 1.5 degrees C by 2099 AD.
The intention of observing the No Impact Week besides addressing SDG goals 10,11 and 12, is to make the earth a better place for our future generations.
- create awareness of green practices among the public
- help understand impact of our activities on the environment
- identify and blacklist industries that pollute the environment, Coke and Pepsi are the world's two top polluters
- identify how individual carbon footprint can be reduced
- promote a sustainable personal lifestyle
- reduce inequalities around the world and give the less fortunate better living means (SDG 10)
- promote responsible production and consumption (SDG 12)
- building sustainable cities and communities (SDG 11)
