Tree plantation – Microsoft GTSC – Bangalore

Posted on by

On June 30th 2007, a group of volunteers from Microsoft India GTSC planted close to 200 saplings along both the sides of the inner ring road near Domulur. These will also have a fence around them with a board – "Maintained by Microsoft" as it is really watered and maintained by Microsoft folks.

Below are some pictures taken by Saurabh Dhall and Rahul Bose of Microsoft India GTSC:

Save. Conserve. Recycle.
Because we can give back what we’ve taken.

Above is the tag line for this entire drive – which was really nice.

What did Microsoft India GTSC do?

  • Placed kiosks for recyclable paper and this will be sent to vendors who will help process it appropriately.
  • With the help of the Forest department commissioned planting of trees on inner ring road. This will be maintained with fencing & regular care for the plants.
  • Exploring the option of converting CFC to HFC in our building air con and also using recycled plastic where we do not have an option of not using plastic.
  • Converting halogen lights to CFLs
  • Look at having shuttle vehicles – LPG based
  • We have sensor based lighting in the office to save energy and cabin lights are switched off if no one is using it.
  • Awareness to the drivers on effective use of vehicle to conserve fuel.

This is what makes Microsoft a great place to work for. Other than the technical excellence you get on your work, you will feel really good working here for Microsoft.

Special thanks to Arti Yadav of Microsoft India GTSC for making this blog post happen 🙂
