LAHORE - In its drive to preserve Pakistan’s natural resources, and educate people on the importance of being environmentally friendly, the Punjab Colleges turned out to be the first educational institution in Pakistan to solarise over 40 of their campuses all over the country.
This initiative towards a switch to renewable energy resulted in a massive reduction in their carbon footprint. Till date, Punjab Colleges has solarised campuses in Lahore, Rawalpindi/ Islamabad, Okara, Jaranwala, Faisalabad, Multan, Bahawalpur, Rahimyar Khan, Gujranwala, Sargodha, Gujrat and Sialkot.
The combined positive environmental impact created by Punjab Colleges due to this shift is equivalent to planting over 30,000 trees. 
They have reduced a whopping 9000 tonnes in carbon emissions to date.
Punjab College’s continuing efforts towards being more environmentally responsible should be applauded and learnt from. 
The campaign is on-going and will continue its efforts towards bringing a positive environmental change by action and spreading awareness.
