How to Go Green?

GREEN TOWNS

•Purchase raw materials locally.•Plant trees while beginning the constructions – as many as possible - maintain them properly.•Use paver blocks and ash bricks, non toxic paints – avoid burned bricks•Construct roads without using Tars but with recycled materials like plastic wastes, polythene wastes, tires, fly ash, printer toners et al.•Grow drought tolerant and heat resistant plants (Salvias, Wisteria, Hibiscus rosa-sinensis, Citrus , Pyrus , Lantana et al.) – use water from bathrooms & kitchen to grow plants – need not be xerophytes.•Mulch the garden beds and places wherever plants/trees are grown.•Incorporate rain water harvesting•Roof gardens

How to Go Green?

• Preferable cork floorings.• Wooden floors – woods used are mostly made from the scraps• Glass roofs or glass ventilations with Photovoltaic cells and solar panels.• Proper ventilations – more windows• Produce power – solar energy, wind energy• Motion sensor lightings.• Less consumption of electricity, heat.• Provide bicycles to commute within the townships.• Sewage water treatments and water recycling.

*P.S: Every bit saved is earned for future.
