GOAL 7: Affordable and Clean Energy
Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all
At Bulacan Agricultural State College, it recognizes the importance of affordable and clean energy in sustainable development. BASC actively works to reduce carbon emissions and improve energy efficiency across our campus facilities. Through energy efficiency planning and wastage identification initiatives, we strive to lower energy consumption and minimize our environmental impact.
To promote clean energy, BASC encourages the use of renewable energy sources and implement measures to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels. BASC also advocates for lower energy consumption through campus-wide initiatives such as turning off lights and optimizing air conditioning settings. By prioritizing affordable and clean energy solutions, BASC aims to contribute to a more sustainable future for all.
