 How Green is Our Landscape?
• Soil Quality – rich in
organic matter
• Eco-Friendly – by feeding
the soil with compost
• Irrigation Techniques and
Moisture Retention –
drip irrigation for less
water consumption
• Recycled Goods – use
recycled materials such
as mulch for compost
and hardscape using
stones nearby to retain
soil
 Modelling
TGTC shall serve as a model in green technology in sustaining
better and healthier environment, with features such as:

• Vertical gardens and landscaping as showcase of course offerings

• Implementation of waste segregation system
• Use of solar panels / lighting
• Use of recyclable materials (supplies/training materials)
• No parking space (carless campus) - encourages walking rather
than riding to the TGTC; promotes conservation of resources
(gas/fuel)
