This project allows us to be the first and only University with a solar farm to modernize the lighting system; 25% of the total consumption of the campus will be through this farm.<br \/>\nIts area occupied by panels is 6,504 square meters. This farm allows us to mitigate the emission of carbon dioxide CO2: 249 tons per year, which is equivalent to the capture of 41,350 trees.<br \/>\nThe solar panels transform sunlight into electrical energy.  They produce direct current (DC) electricity. Inverters transform electricity from direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC) as used in residential, industrial, educational institutions, etc.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Solid Waste<\/h2>\n<p>It is important to know the role that each one of us plays in caring for the environment, even in the smallest activities. This is why we want to show you the correct separation of solid waste, in order to avoid its negative impacts on the soil, air, water bodies and others.<\/p>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"row\" style=\"height: min-content !important;\">\n                                 \n                    <div class=\"\">\n                        <h3 class=\"title--h3 pb-3\">Documents and resources<\/h3>\n                                                    <a href=\"https:\/\/usbcali.edu.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/politica_ambiental_2023_actualizada-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"links py-2 ps-2\">\n                                <span class=\"icon-paperclip links-icon icon-15 text--opacity75\"><\/span>\n                                Environmental Policy                            <\/a>\n                                                    <a href=\"https:\/\/usbcali.edu.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/resolucion_cogas_2023.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"links py-2 ps-2\">\n                                <span class=\"icon-paperclip links-icon icon-15 text--opacity75\"><\/span>\n                                COGAS Resolution 2023                            <\/a>\n                                            <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t                            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"intercalado-section\">\n        <section class=\"sustainable-usb\">\n        <div class=\"container\">\n            <div class=\"row\">\n                <div class=\"col-lg-6 pe-lg-5\">\n                    <h2 class=\"title--h2\">Responsible Use of Water Program &#8211; PURA  <\/h2>\n                    <div class=\"card\">\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/usbcali.edu.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/logosprogramas-05-1.png\" \n                        class=\"img-fluid\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\">\n                        <div class=\"card-body p-0\">\n                            <p class=\"paragraph col-lg-10\">The purpose of this program will be to establish and develop solutions to excessive consumption and waste of water resources, guaranteeing their availability and adequate use, seeking efficient use and water savings in the USB.  <\/p>\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"col-lg-6 ps-lg-5\">\n                    <iframe class=\"video-iframe\" src=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/embed\/4MyqE7Zx0iQ\" \n                        title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" \n                        allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\">\n                    <\/iframe> \n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n        <section class=\"sustainable-usb\">\n        <div class=\"container\">\n            <div class=\"row\">\n                <div class=\"col-lg-6 pe-lg-5\">\n                    <h2 class=\"title--h2\">Program for the Rational Use of Energy &#8211; PURE<\/h2>\n                    <div class=\"card\">\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/usbcali.edu.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/logosprogramas-05-1-1.png\" \n                        class=\"img-fluid\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\">\n                        <div class=\"card-body p-0\">\n                            <p class=\"paragraph col-lg-10\">The purpose of this program is to establish and develop solutions to excessive energy consumption and waste, guaranteeing its availability, adequate use and seeking a responsible, rational and efficient use of energy at the USB.
