Let us make Green buildings and build smart cities and villages. My dream to save environment!!!
Green Buildings are Eco-friendly building construction practices. Green buildings ensure optimum energy use, water use, material and water, storm water and wastewater reuse. The less the impact has on its environment, the more the green building is.
In India opportunities exists to introduce new material, equipment and appropriate technology to promote energy efficient sustainable buildings. The various green rating systems have been designed based on sound environmental principles. Green buildings are high performance buildings which include energy efficiency and conservation, resource and material efficiency and occupant’s health and well-being.
According to EPA, Green building focuses on two aspects:
· Construction and operation which assures healthiest environment lifetime
· Efficient and least disruptive use of land, water, energy and resources.
In a smart city the infrastructure is sustainable with IoT and ICT support.
Broadly strategies involved in smart cities are to ensure
Energy efficiency, Water efficiency, material efficiency, Indoor environment, E governance and sustainable water supply and transportation systems.
Let us think in a broader sense how to protect environment
With environmental issues like water contamination, pollution, and climate change, it’s natural to look for ways we can reverse the damage to our planet and keep our environment clean. Many of us think we’re too small to make a difference, but when enough of us take action, we’ve seen the positive results we can create.
Today we’re looking at the steps – big and small – you can take to keep our environment clean and safe.
--Let your voice be heard
--Refuse single-use items
--Plant trees and native plants
--Change your travel habits
--Buy locally & compost
--Conserve water
--Reduce use of chemicals & properly dispose of waste
I think every educated people know how to keep our environment free from pollution.
Most of us need just a serious thinking and action to follow those already known ways in our daily life to keep our environment free from pollution at least at individual level.
My recommendations; protect the existing forest from further degradation, plant recommended trees when and where possible, and live a green lifestyle in terms of what you eat and drive.
Environment should be viewed in totality & should not be restricted only to particular place or areas . As you know that environment has also a global touch however it becomes the duty of every person or the humanity at large to keep there the environment clean & under pleasurable condition . For middle & higher group income holder can convenient afford to keep the garden with the flowers ,trees ,plants , they can maintain their atmosphere clean but it may have an indirect influence of neighboring residence .
For Slum & lower income group areas it become the responsibility of every local authority everywhere & to see that such areas to be maintain with all the cleanliness norms

I think the 10 most practical ways to help clean the environment you mentioned in your comment are quite enough if get interest from governmental and private sectors.
What Dr K N Sheth said is a long term measure. But if we start thinking at our level the principles of Green building and smart city, at our end we can achieve to certain extent, the conservation of natural resources and consequently save environment
I think the question is oriented at different dimension- what a lay man should do to conserve the resources. So if I save water, use renewable energy, use local materials in construction, go for roof top gardening, make compost from kitchen waste, I think we can keep our environment green. I agree with Mittal mam and Dr K N Sheth. Answer added by Dr Rai himself is very satisfactory.
Dear Rai, we can play many roles to keep our environment safe and clean. However, the most significant factor is the awareness of the people. Without the awareness, nothing can be done.
