8. 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

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.

10. Conclusion
• As discussed; the raise in Indian population and many foreign countries getting
geared to invest in infrastructure in India has put us in a need for development
along with an opportunity to fulfil the same with a swift phase.
• As the need increases, we are least bothered about long term safety.
• Remedy is to Go Green - Green Township projects will surelyafulfil the needs of this
