suitable for further degradation of stable compost or ‘cold’ compost. In this book,
Nurmin and Ismail (Chap. 14) compare the composting and vermicomposting
effectiveness for the treatment of food wastes from various places.
Sewage management is one of the important aspects that require attention from
university management since there is an increment of student intake from year to
year. The treated sewage effluent and sewage sludge (i.e. sludge produced from biological sewage treatment) contain nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus that can
be recycled. Zahrim and Liyana (Chap. 15) review several efforts on campus sewage
treatment and recycling potential. Finally, at Fudan University, China, Gong et al.
(Chap. 16) studied the microwave/electrode-less ultraviolet/ozone (MV/UV/O3) system for treatment of treated sewage from the membrane bioreactor (MBR) process
to meet the requirements for campus water reclamation.
All effort to greening the campus need full cooperation among the top level management, academic staff, support staff as well as students. Every individual in the
campus has their own role to ensure campus sustainability. Apart from good monitoring, well-written policy by top-level management could assist in shaping the campus
community mind and attitude towards sustainability. The effort should not only ‘oneoff’ effort or just for the sake of ranking but the effort should be taken continuously
and seriously to ensure the sustainability of campus. Sustainable campus environment would inculcate conducive learning and teaching condition among the student
as well as having a great potential for the successful edutourism.
