                   GREEN PROJECTS

                 Numerous  individuals  and  organisations  are  dedicated  to  environmental  preservation  and  are  actively
                 implementing green projects. These initiatives focus on areas such as waste management, energy conservation,
                 green sanitation, biofuel utilisation and green building practices.

                 Green Projects in India
                 India is progressing in clean and green technologies with various organisations collaborating to promote
                 environmental protection. Examples of Green project include:
                   Digital  Green:  It  is  an  initiative  that  uses  technology  to  improve  agricultural  practices  and  support
                   rural development. By creating and sharing digital videos, it provides farmers with valuable information
                   and  training  on  best  practices,  new  techniques,  and  sustainable  methods.  The  project  helps  farmers
                   increase productivity and income while promoting environmental sustainability. Through a network of
                   local volunteers and technology, Digital Green bridges the gap between farmers and experts, enhancing
                   agricultural knowledge and community growth.

                   Swachh Cooperative: Solid Waste Management by ‘Swachh Cooperative’ is an initiative aimed at improving
                   waste management practices in communities. The cooperative focuses on collecting, sorting, and recycling
                   solid waste to reduce environmental impact. They work to educate the community about proper waste
                   disposal and the benefits of recycling. By organising waste collection and promoting sustainable practices,
                   the Swachh Cooperative helps to keep the environment clean and supports the development of a healthier,
                   more organised community.
                   Bio-toilet by Green Solution Foundation:  The  GSF  has  introduced  a  bio-toilet  system  to  improve
                   sanitation in villages and slums lacking sewage systems. Funded by users or donors, these bio-toilets are
                   supported by GSF, which also provides training to local people on how to use and maintain them, creating
                   job and business opportunities. The core of this eco-friendly toilet is a bio-digester tank that uses aerobic
                   bacteria to convert human waste into clean, environmentally safe water. This water can be used for flushing
                   or irrigation.
