THIS PPT DEALS WITH THE DAY TO DAY ACTIVITIES WHICH CAUSES POLLUTION AND THE GREEN OPTIONS WHICH HAVE COME UP OR ARE EXPECTED TO COME UP IN THE FUTURE FOR GREENER MOTHER EARTH

3. In practice, going green means adopting five basic
principles in our daily life:
Reducing pollution
Conserve resource
Conserve energy
Reduce consumption and waste
Protect the earth’s ecological balance
All five principles are important in
protecting the environment from harm,
as well as helping to ensure that living
(for humans and other creatures) on
earth is sustainable.

4. BEFORE TALKING ABOUT INDUSTRIES
LETS DEVOTE A FRACTION OF MINUTE
OVER THINKING THE FOLLOWING FEW
DAY TO DAY ACTIVITIES BY US:
 About the shampoo, soap and cleaning
detergent that we use.
About the fast-food lunch we have.

5. About the car that we drive to work, or
even the bus or cab that we take to our
office or colleges.
More and more trees being
cut down to produce more
and more paper.
More oil, coal and other natural fuels
being extracted from the earth.

6. In our day-to-day activities, we are
actually releasing substantial amount
of toxic substances into the
environment which we are also
unaware of.
LETS CHECK IT HOW..

7. The shampoo and conditioners used
by us in our day to day course of life.
SOLUTION:
Switching to more natural cleaners
and personal products, such as -
Natural Detergents.
Organic Detergents.
Organic shampoos and lotions.

8. The wrappers which are used in
packaging the fast food meal are bound
for the landfills and incinerators.
SOLUTION:
Switching to organically grown food.
Organic foods are grown without the
use of synthetic pesticides and
fertilizers.
Also such organic foods are more
healthier.

9. Vehicles emit greenhouse gases and
toxic substances like lead (harmful to
living things, including the human body)
into the atmosphere.
SOLUTION :
going green in practice means to
drive less, and use the public
transport instead.

15. Wind farms are one viable way to help
solve the energy problems that our planet
is facing..
The advantages of using wind as a source
of renewable power are sometimes
overshadowed by a few who protest the
wind turbines…

16. That wind farms MYTH 1
DOESN reduce
the amount of
fossil fuels used Turbines do reduce the
need to opt for fossil fuel
energy supplies.. In fact,
when combined with
other ecologically
friendly resources, wind
farms can also continue
to make a significant
change in the way
energy is produced.

17. living close to a wind MYTH 2
farm significantly
decrease the value of
home.
NOISE BEING ITS
MAJOR FEAR….
The noise has
been greatly
reduced from the
original turbines
made twenty
years ago.

18. A final myth involves the
local economy being
adversely affected…… MYTH 3
There is also the MYTH
that winds would not be
able to supply a constant
flow of energy, resulting With introduction of Wind
in black outs.. Farms the locals are often
given an employment
boost..
Also the proposed site
are carefully evaluated by
a variety of experts to
make certain that it is a
good place to harvest
wind before the turbines
are placed.

22. PHYTOREMEDIATION
• A technology that
uses vegetation to
absorb hazardous
waste from
industrial plants and
other polluters.

23. THE NEW TWIST ---
Bacteria producing an enzyme which zaps
RDX..

24. The world's seas are in an ocean of trouble of-

33. Green Building in Japan
The green building movement in Japan is a
bottom-up process.
More than 90 percent of construction
projects in Japan incorporate some form of
green building technology.
Practical and cost-efficient systems widely
used.

41. Mini Water Beetle is
compact,
lightweight and
requires no external power
(Dimensions: 27.56 x 14.37 inches. Weight: 44 pounds.)

47. Reduce use of formaldehyde
Employs alternative resins, adhesives,
Low volatile organic compound
performance.

48. The list of few top green buildings in India are :
•Suzlon Energy Limited – Pune
•Biodiversity Conservation India Ltd (BCIL) – Bangalore
•Olympia Technology Park – Chennai
•ITC Green Centre – Gurgaon
•Nokia – Gurgaon
•Rajiv Gandhi International Airport – Hyderabad
•Raintree Hotels – Chennai
•Doon School – Dehradun
•La Cuisine Solaire – Auroville
•The Druk White Lotus School - Ladakh

49. The Leadership in
Energy and
Environmental
Design is a Green
Building Rating
System nationally
accepted
benchmark for the
design, construction
and
operation of high
performance green
buildings.

55. Within a built-in area of 180,000 sq.ft., the
building features
alternative transportation facilities,
 storm water management system,
solar thermal technology,
 reflective high-albedo roof paint,
 minimal exterior lighting,
 separate smoking rooms with exhaust
system and
 zero-water discharge.

57. Olympia's green construction is compatible with
the needs of an IT company and also ensures
efficient space utilisation

58. BCIL has created some of the most
energy-efficient residential homes India
has ever set eyes upon.
The first residential apartment in the
world to be rated „Platinum‟ under LEED.
TZed, means “Towards Zero Energy
Development”
Designed to reduce lighting and energy by
nearly 70 per cent.

59. No home at BCIL TZed Homes uses
incandescent lamps, halogens and
fluorescent tube lights

60. Best demonstration of the use of
solar energy to produce steam.
This 1700 sq. m. kitchen is named
thus because of the huge 15 diameter
solar bowl that has been fixed at the
top of the structure to harvest solar
energy.
This green structure can generate
enough steam at a temperature of
150°C that can be used to cook meals
for 1000 people, three times a day.

61. This building puts to use appropriate
technologies and passive solar
concepts to achieve energy-efficiency

62. ITC's Wealth Out of Waste is a recycling
initiative that works towards
 spreading awareness about
recycling,
encouraging people to segregate and
dispose waste responsibly.
WOW reaches out to schools,
institutions and homes through its
awareness building teams, about source
segregation of waste.

64. For example, ITC's Kovai unit is exclusively dependent on
recycled fibre, as are some machines in Bhadrachalam as
well. By end 2011, ITC PSPD would be using close to
210,000 tonnes of waste paper per annum.
WOW helps ITC collect this raw material from India.

65. Ultimately, all these boil down to the rate that
we humans, as a single species (amongst
the millions other species on this earth), are
consuming the earth’s natural resources. It is
time we reflect on the situation and put a halt
to the situation.
What does going green mean is that we need
to evaluate what we really need, as opposed
to what we want. Is the new car really what
we need? If not, then don’t buy it.

66. We need to learn to consume only what we need, and
be considerate in our consumption. In other words,
remember that we are not the only ones that the earth
has to provide for.
What does going green mean as a race is that we need
to be more responsible and proactive in protecting the
earth’s ecological balance. This environmental
consciousness should be present, whether we are
dealing with government policies, or industrial and
economic activities, or in our daily living.
Whether it is for ethical reasons (i.e.. taking
responsibility for the harm we have), or for selfish
reasons (i.e.. to ensure the continued health of our
human species and the earth we live in for our
future generations), we need to do something
today, before it is too late.

67. All these efforts will contribute
now and in the long run to
keeping this MOTHER EARTH
sustainable.
