We replaced our old lights with energy efficient ones several years ago in my home, my apartment and our entire office when we moved. We spent a bit more money to switch but now we save a lot on our monthly electricity bills. The savings will pay back the initial cost within a few months.

I spent some time in my garden this weekend cleaning up old plants, weeding, and mulching. It was a treat for me to get outside while we had decent weather and it was a treat for my plants that got some compost tea fresh from our mulcher!

I need to research more about leadership programs for young emerging leaders in Kerala. While the government provides good support - like scholarships and other programs for top students - there are not many nonprofit organizations helping young leaders. I want to support them through my time and donations. I would also like to understand how...

We have created a fruit garden at our home with lots of different fruit trees and plants like mango, banana, orange jackfruit – there are so many, I can't even remember all of them! Once we watered them at the beginning, one type of plant will naturally help feed the others, so the garden will last a long time. My dad is enjoying his...

Our gang loves being outdoors, especially in forests and we always do our best to make ethical choices to minimize our impact on nature. We care about all 7 Leave No Trace principles. While we value all of them, we pay extra attention to #4 and #5: we are always careful to leave everything exactly as we find it in the area. Also, even though...

The school offered to give me these plants so I can try making a butterfly park at my home too. We are also planning to start...

The Abu Dhabi government has taken great care to preserve this old fort and has also built new areas around it where visitors can spend time. The old fort is impressive because it was built hundreds of years ago using...

Just completed my Sustainable Facility Professional (SFP) certification! Excited to apply what I’ve learned and drive more sustainable practices in our daily operations.

I always buy sustainable products for myself, including clothes and packaging, even if they cost a little more. Recently, I chose a slightly pricier toothbrush for my child because it and it was 100% vegan and its tube were labeled sustainable. My last hair conditioner purchase was also based on its 94% natural ingredients and sustainable...
