The workshops covers topic such as water treatment, low carbon lifestyle, green activities for schools, green projects at home, waste segregation, 3R, planting, wildlife, food waste and so on. The experts were affiliated to universities, NGO, governmental agencies and individuals who are involved in many green projects.
