Thisresearch is to analyze and reduce the emission of carbon footprint around campus in order to build a sustainable campus for future generations. One of the most profound issue faced by the world today is the rise of temperature which is also known as global warming. The emission of GHGs has been an alarming issue in our world today which causes not only the rise of temperature but also disastrous natural disasters such as flood, hurricane, drought and many more. Like other developing countries, Malaysia have given its full support and cooperation in its attempt to achieve a sustainable development. In Malaysia, there are several policies and legislation developed to encourage sustainability in four major areas which are water and waste management, transportation, energy and building. The importance of higher education institutions such as universities should address the diverse needs of local societies and promote sustainability. Universities should also consider including sustainability into student’s education and program to promote the environmental issues which have been one of the highest concerns around the world. Therefore, the focus of this research is to analyze and reduce the carbon footprint for a sustainable campus. Hence, the aim of this research is to analyze the emission of carbon footprint throughout the campus such as traveling to class and to suggest alternatives that the student or staff can take in order to reduce the emission of carbon footprint around campus and to build a sustainable campus.

Infographic is the transformation of information, sources and data in graphic format, to make them clear and easily understandable. In these graphics, sophisticated topics and maps are designed in a simple and explanatory way by means of stories. Infographics are seen in media and published works either in a scientific or simple level.In order for the world resources to fulfill not only today’s but also future generations’ needs, the basis for a sustainable life should be provided today. Organizations like Greenpeace run campaigns in accordance with the principals of protecting bio-diversity, in order for the contribution of raising awareness in society for future. These organizations often use infographics in their campaigns. Infographics contain a lot of research-focused information by quoting several sources. By the help of these researches and design, infographics form an effective way to transmit topics like “environmental issues and what to do about them”, to the target population.Based on the above explanations, how infographics deal with the issues like “nuclear hazard, the decline of biologic diversity and environmental pollution” is analyzed in this article. Furthermore, how people reach infographic design is described, and campaigns of environmentalist organizations were examined. As a result it is concluded that, in terms of the mentioned environmental issues, infographics are beneficial tools to raise awareness and to effectively transmit them to people, particularly in social media and other similar channels.Keywords: Infographics, environment, graphic design

: Continuously growing environmental issues became a major problem in the world. These environmental issues deteriorate our day to day life and generate very serious and major diseases. Also, the growing industrialization of the world has steeply risen and demanding petroleum products for their modernization. Economic development has also resulted in a great rise in energy demand. Biodiesel, a less polluting and sustainable fuel replacing diesel has been getting the attention of researchers from around the world. The utilization of vegetable oil and waste oil as fuel is found to be less polluting in comparison to the petrochemical products. The fundamental problem in biodiesel production is that it is more susceptible to the oxidation which results in the increase in viscosity of biodiesel concerning time, which in turn creates the problem. So, in this review paper, the current fossil fuel scenario concerning World and India has been shown concerning the petroleum diesel along with properties of biodiesel resources and production processes of biodiesel.

Сreation of the stabilization fund has become the main feature of the Russian federal budget for 2004. This instrument provides the opportunity to reduce the dependence of budget incomes on the fluctuations of oil prices. The accepted model does not consider the world experience in building of such funds as the "funds for future generations", and the increase of other revenues from the growing oil prices as well. That can lead to shortening and immobilization of the financial basis of economic growth.

The Relationship

Research on social and environmental accounting (SEA) has mainly concentrated on disclosure of SEA by corporate bodies, where investigations on ones attitude towards SEA are rarely discussed. SEA is a medium that develops relationships between business and society, community and nature. In addition, SEA involves a concept of sustain ability; where natural resources need to be sustained for the needs of future generations (Alhabshi et al., 2003). SEA also tries to recognise the role of accounting in sustainable development and the use of environmental resources. There are arguments that the young generations today are not fully aware of preserving these natural resources as well as handling social and environmental issues wisely. This perhaps link closely to their belief and cultural background. Hence, this paper examines the influence of gender and belief factors on the undergraduate students’ attitude towards SEA. Four dimensions of belief (fixed ability, quick learning, simple knowledge and certain knowledge) proposed by Schommer (2005) were adapted to analyse how belief factors have influence on their attitude towards SEA. An independent sample t-test was used to examine the relationship between gender and students’ attitude towards SEA. Spearmen’s correlation was employed to show the relationship between belief and attitude towards SEA. The results revealed that gender differences did not show influences on their attitude towards SEA. It was found that there is a significant relationship between belief and students’ attitude towards SEA. Students who believe on the importance of SEA tend to report positive attitude towards SEA. Perhaps findings of this study may provide some information on the SEA education and further be incorporated in the syllabus.

Effective Altruism

The effective altruism movement consists of a growing global community of people who organize significant parts of their lives around two key ideas, represented in its name. Altruism: If we use a significant portion of the resources in our possession—whether money, time, or talents—with a view to helping others, we can improve the world considerably. Effectiveness: When we do put such resources to altruistic use, it is crucial to focus on how much good this or that intervention is reasonably expected to do per unit of resource expended (for example, per dollar donated). While global poverty is a widely used case study in introducing and motivating effective altruism, if the ultimate aim is to do the most good one can with the resources expended, it is far from obvious that global poverty alleviation is highest priority cause area. In addition to ranking possible poverty-alleviation interventions against one another, we can also try to rank interventions aimed at very different types of outcome against one another. This includes, for example, interventions focusing on animal welfare or future generations. The scale and organization of the effective altruism movement encourage careful dialogue on questions that have perhaps long been there, throwing them into new and sharper relief, and giving rise to previously unnoticed questions. In the present volume, the first of its kind, a group of internationally recognized philosophers, economists, and political theorists contribute in-depth explorations of issues that arise once one takes seriously the twin ideas of altruistic commitment and effectiveness.
