EAPS Green Policy
EAPS is Going Green
We firmly believe that we all have a part to play in preserving our future for generations to come, both locally and across the globe. As an individual as well as a community, we must contribute towards maintaining the natural ecological balance in the environment and preserve the planet and its natural systems and resources.
