This is a presentation on in real time problems in our day to day life along with the solution which are sustainable. There are three fundamental principles to “green” interior design: energy efficiency, resource conservation, and health. When designing or remodeling an interior, optimizing the energy efficiency reduces pollution and saves resources for the entire lifetime of the interior.

3. THE BEAUTY
OF
MONUMENTS
Tourism and irresponsible
Behaviour of Visitors:
Increasing tourism and lack
of civic sense among
majority of tourists have
caused large damages to
monuments degrading their
aesthetic value. Criminal
damage such as graffiti and
defacement directed
towards the monuments
has been a major concern.

4. For example:
As we can see in
the below pictures
that inappropriate
things are written
on some of the
popular monuments
which is harming
the appearance of
the monuments and

5. Solutions
• Heavy fines and punishments should
be announced for the culprits so that
people think twice before doing
anything like this which is disturbing
the decoram of our monuments.
• Adopt a Heritage :Adopt a Heritage
Scheme (ApniDharoharApni Pehchan
Project) was launched on World
Tourism Day (September 27th
2017). It is an initiative by Ministry
of Tourism in close collaboration
whose aim is to develop the heritage
sites / monuments, make them
tourist friendly to enhance the
tourism potential. More schemes like
these should be launched by the
government.

6. 2.LACK OF PUBLIC
SPACE /GREEN SPACE
FOR THE FREEDOM OF
MOVEMENT
Green space are now getting rare
day by day as the industrial
sector is on boom .Earlier ,pieces
of land were allotted for the
making of gardens and public parks
but now this land is also getting
lesser day by day .
Nowadays, there is hardly more
than a couple of parks in each
sector of urban areas.
Not only urban but rural areas

7. Advantages of green
spaces :
• Benefits for the city:
Violence and crime tend to
decrease around green spaces,
likely a result of increased
social cohesion, more people
spending time outdoors, and
the perception of orderly,
maintained spaces. Green
spaces can also help calm
traffic and reduce road injuries
- the leading cause of death
for children over the age of

8. • Benefits for
children:
Though most research has
been done in high income
countries, the evidence
is sufficient to assume
that children universally
need green space for
their optimal
development. There is
abundant anecdotal
evidence of children
seeking out and
benefiting from green
spaces across the
developing world,
including during and
after humanitarian
crises.61b Further, many
studies have measured
physiological changes
such as reduced levels of
stress hormones and blood
pressure in children
consequent to green space

9. Solutions
• Advocate for support and funding from local
governments and the private sector.
• Partner with local communities to provide safe
and responsible access to the institution’s green
spaces outside of school hours.
• Form local groups and organizations that
take joint outings or offer safeguarded
nature education programmes
• Municipal Corporation in consultation with
local communities, including children, provide
funds and expertise to identify, map,
reclaim and redesign public spaces as green
spaces

10. 3. Water ponds
becoming dirty
day by day
• It is said that people settled wherever
they found water storage capacity for
human and cattle consumption. A water
pond/well would be revered like a village
deity and the local people, specially women,
would pay their reverence by performing
rituals on key occasions. Now, the same
ponds are polluted, overflowing, filled with
dirt, under encroachment, and have become

11. For example:
Haryana
• More than half of the
ponds in Haryana,
which were once
considered crucial for
the state’s
agriculture-based
economy, are
officially deemed
polluted.
• According to data from
Haryana Pond and Waste
Water Management
Authority (HPWWMA),

12. Solutions :
• The main challenge is to tackle
encroachment on the village ponds and
stop the dumping of solid and liquid
waste.
• Action on cleaning up the ponds is
urgent and needs to be ongoing as it
will result in declining of groundwater
levels.
• In Haryana, The government has
finalised an action plan to rejuvenate
4,600 ponds and work has already

13. EXECUTION
• H.P. Sharma, who is a Member-Technical advisor
in the HPWWMA,planned to clean one of the ponds
in the sector in which I am residing.
• Under the action plan, a digital survey is
conducted, and if encroachment is found, a
letter is written to the concerned local
administration to get the land vacated. To
clean the pond, Sharma said first the water is
dried to start the digging process as cleaning
has not been done for the last 40 years. “Then
embankments are constructed and aquatic plants
are grown near the pond to clean the wastewater

15. 4. Washing dishes with hands
(instead of dishwasher)
• This is a kind of real time problem which is only applied to the people
who are owning a dishwasher .
• As we all know and have seen from a very long time, that dirty and
used utensils are handwashed under a running tap, which were
sometimes leading to skin infections due to the direct contact of
detergents and chemicals with our naked hands and also it was a very
exhausting job.
• So, to overcome these problems , dishwasher was introduced which
got improved decade by decade in terms of energy consumption and
specially water consumption.

16. Dishwasher recommended over handwashing

17. Today’s dishwashers use
less water than hand-
washing.
• In the past, dishwashers might
have consumed 10 to 15 gallons of
water per cycle. Modern
dishwashers, on the other hand,
are designed with water
efficiency in mind. In fact,
the Department of Energy mandates
that full-sized dishwashers can
use a maximum of 5 gallons of
water per cycle. Energy Star-
rated appliances require
even lower water usage, at 3.5
gallons per cycle.

18. AND
FLUORESCENT
LIGHTBULBS
• The incandescent light bulb turns
electricity into light by sending the
electric current through a thin wire
called a filament. Electrical
Filaments are made up mostly of
tungsten metal. The resistance of the
filament heats the bulb. Eventually
the filament gets so hot that it
glows, producing light.
• This type of light bulb worked poorly
and was little used until Joseph
Swan and Thomas Edison improved it in
the 1870s. It was the first light

19. After the invention of LEDs ,the
disadvantages of incandescent
lightbulbs got highlighted and
ultimately was non-sustainable.
• The life of such a bulb is too
short, about 1000 hours.
• Such bulbs blast or fuse under
minor voltage fluctuations and
under critical weather
situations
• It is energy inefficient and high
operating costs.
• The ultimate disadvantage is
that it contains mercury, a
toxic metal. When a lamp is
broken or placed in a landfill or
incinerator, the mercury can
contaminate the airs, surface
water, and ground water.

20. Stop
using
these
bulbs
• Despite of knowing
the disadvantages of
these incandescent
bulbs ,there are many
rural areas where we
can see the use of
these bulbs .
• The LED bulbs should
be provided by the
government at a
cheaper rate by the
government to
encourage the people
to buy it.
