India Going Green

Solar Energy, Energy Saving have been a part and practice of my study, and some of my approach. I would love to turn around the whole house / office to run using Solar Power, but sadly the price of Solar Panels still keeps this out of my reach.

Recently, while going through the Times of India, on the 5th of June, I came across an Article about Green buildings, and it was an interesting read. Sadly the online edition does not carry pictures, but here are a few steps that you can make sure to go green.

1. Switch off all appliances not in use when leaving office at night. Yes, including the Water Cooler
2. Make sure all lights and fans are also off
3. Switch to CFL Lamps where ever possible from Incandescent Bulbs
4. Take that Adapter out, are you done charging your phone, take out that adapter.
5. Harvest Water, Re-Use rain water. Delhi is going to get a lot of rain this year, why not put buckets outside, when it rains, to give your car an After rain wash / clean.
6. Buy Proximity / Infrared switches for Verandah lights
7. Buy some solar lights for your lawn.
