From my column with Mid-Day last Sunday.

Rainwater Harvesting- World Water Day

Woodpeckers and rainwater harvesting! Woodpeckers locate their nests at angles such that the nest faces away from the direction of the rain and is hence naturally water-proofed. But if one does make up his mind to harvest rainwater, it'd be as easy as this for him!

Catch this cartoon in The Hindu's BL-ink today. Happy World Water Day!

Sustainuisance

Wikipedia defines Corporate Sustainability as "a business approach that creates long-term consumer and employee value by not only creating a "green" strategy aimed towards the natural environment, but taking into consideration every dimension of how a business operates in the social, cultural, and economic environment. Also formulating strategies to build a company that fosters longevity through transparency and proper employee development."

You can now read more of my green cartoons in Sustainuance- India's first magazine on corporate sustainability. Check out the cover concept of this month's issue- very thoughtful indeed!

Happy World Environment Day!

Well, what better models to endorse green design than animals themselves?

There are so many benefits of investing in green energy that a blog post may not ne sufficient to describe. Not only is it limited to cutting carbon emmissions, but extends to creating healthier environments and living conditions, contributing tremendously towards cost reduction and even creating new job opportunities. As the focus on green energy is increasing among the world's leading corporates, more and more companies anre beginning to invest in these reliable, resilient and inexhaustible alternatives.

This year's Environment Day theme is 'Green Economy: Does it include you?' Read more about it on http://www.unep.org/wed/theme/

Soilcoat

Rainwater harvesting is one of the most important measures towards water conservation. It refers to the accumulation and deposition of rainwater for reuse before it reaches the aquifer. Uses include water for garden, water for livestock, water for irrigation, and indoor heating for houses etc.. It has proved to be advantageous in several ways. First of all, it makes use of a natural resource and prevents soil erosion and runoff. It also helps avoid contamination of water with chemicals and pesticides. It has proved to be an excellent source of water for irrigation of landscapes, for which one doesn't even need filtration. Home systems are relatively simple to install and help cut the water bill down.

How about some rainwater harvesting on your way to work?

The Vase Case

There are several benefits of switching over to green energy, the most notable ones being that they have minimal or no negative environmental impacts, do not deplete natural resources, ensure the protection of the natural world, have little or no net carbon emission, and are safe to use, without putting our future generations at risk. Most of these methods are also known to cut down long term costs and are increasingly creating new job opportunities.
