How is waste - a resource?
The vermi-compost which is generated with the help of earthworms from biodegradables like vegetable peels, leftover food, leaves, etc., can be used as fertiliser for the gardens. Earthworm castings are even richer in nutrients than compost, so they can be used more sparingly. Castings are rich in bacteria, calcium, iron, magnesium, and sulphur and 60 other trace minerals. Excess compost can be sold and help in monetary gain. The non biodegradable like glass, plastic and metals can be sold for recycling. This also is a monetary gain. Moreover, there is health and environmental gain as the surroundings are clean and hence there are less spread of diseases.




How is the greening of site done?
A plan to develop greenery in the layout is also proposed under the Eco-friendly Infrastructure. The plan is basically divided into three categories namely; trees and plants for

• Parks
• Roads
• Civic amenties area.

Trees and plants in the layout should have aesthetic value with ornamental foliage and bear colourful flower apart from providing shade to the locality. Emphasis is to include mostly Indian species which have the above mentioned qualities, consume less water and need less maintaince.
