Every single Delhi household must pay environment compensation, says NGT

Green Energy Koyal Group Inc - The National Green Tribunal recently announced that every household in the city of New Delhi will have to pay a minimum environment compensation of Rupee (Rs) 100 every month for producing sewage, regardless of whether or not they have a sewerage connection.

The funds collected from this compensation will be used to provide new sewage treatment plants (STPs) and other requirements as part of the NGT's "Maili se Nirmal Yamuna Revitalisation Project 2017".

The compensation will be directly proportional to the property or water tax, whichever is higher, paid by a particular household.

For those who reside in unauthorized colonies which do not pay property tax or water bill, the amount would be Rs 100 to Rs 500.

Municipal corporation employees will have to pay a fine of Rs 5,000 for throwing or dumping waste into the drains of New Delhi. These corporations will have to clean all the drains and they must also ensure that no illegal, unauthorized washing, running of dairies is allowed on the banks of the drains. All of this has to be finished within a month's time.

"We direct Delhi government, Delhi Jal Board and all municipal corporations, Cantonment Board, electricity companies like BSES and other civic authorities to impose environmental compensation on every household which is generating sewage in the entire NCT of Delhi on the 'Polluters Pay Principle'."

The payment of environmental compensation will be added to the electricity bill, water bill and the property tax demand in order of preference by the respective departments which will transfer the money to NCT, Delhi.

The court also directed Delhi Jal Board to submit the complete action plan and time frame for completion of first phase of Maili se Nirmal Yamuna Revitalisation Project 2017 in one week.

"We will not grant any further extension and the erring officer would be personally liable for default," the bench said while directing it complete this project as quickly as possible and whatever the case not later than 2016.

The tribunal said: "Of the entire pollution of Yamuna, 76 per cent is generated in NCT Delhi. Industrial effluents and untreated sewage are carried into the Yamuna and with passage of time; it has been converted into a stinking drain."

What is Green Technology?

Technology is defined as the application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes, especially in industry. While green technology refers to the continuous evolving methods of generating energy from the nontoxic products of the environment.

Green technology fulfills the current needs of the society without reducing the expected needs of the future generations. It utilizes the best methods to provide the needs of the people in a long term basis. This technology reduces the pollution and wastes by transforming the methods of production and consumption.

A center of economic activity could be developed which is beneficial for the environment by accelerating the implementation process and inventing all the careers that protect the world.

One of the obvious significant benefits of using this technology is reducing the pollution and carbon emission. Green buildings, paperless offices and manufacturing in green process can help in the reduction of the carbon emission.

Controlling the rise in temperature can also be achieved using this technology. The clean and fuel-efficient transportation, recycling of waste, and other ways of preserving the environment makes it possible for controlling the temperature.

Work productivity has improved in places where the rural households are provisioned with the biogas plants. Technologies can be utilized in mud refrigerators, solar cookers as well as in the green farming practices. The rain water harvesting and the water storage methods are some of the green techniques.

Green technology can also be a relief to the citizens living in a city, because of the fact that pollution in urban areas is dramatically increasing. The compressed natural gas (CNG) fuelled public transports can reduce the air pollution and the carbon emission in the cities.

Corporate sectors can also benefit using this technology. It can minimize the input costs with all the energy efficient methods along with the construction of green buildings and the green manufacturing process may lead to the resource and energy saving process of the organizations. The efficient lighting and air conditioning methods can save the power of a specific company besides acting as overall power saver for the society.

The green technology can also build wonders in the sectors of power generation. Solar energy, wind power, biogas production, etc. can provide opportunities to many unemployed individuals and can also give energy solutions to the extreme rural communities in a better way. Thus, the standard of living will increase with a very less impact on the environment. So, the green technology takes care of the needs of the entire society without any doubt.

To summarize, green technology offers many advantages for the benefit of our environment. Utilizing this technology can result in sustainable development and will help in protecting and preserving the environment.

Tips on how to save energy

You can save money and lessen your consumption of natural resources and reducing pollution by conserving energy wisely. Green Energy Koyal Group Inc suggests that consumers follow these tips for minimizing the household's energy consumption.

Keep track of your thermostat

Changing your thermostat to a certain degree or so can really make a big difference on your energy bill. Learn to adjust your thermostat based upon the weather and time of the day. See to it that your heating system is also working properly.

Be aware of your heat source

Instead of using electric resistant heating such as baseboard heaters, floor furnaces, space heaters, wall heaters, and central electric heat, Green Energy Koyal Group Inc suggests that it's best to use a heat pump that is properly sized and installed.

Learn when to heat your home

You should keep the heat where it has to be, which is outside in the summer and inside in the winter. If your windows are not double paned or storm windows, you can use plastic to cover windows in the wintertime to reduce drafts. Moreover, you should make sure that holes, gaps, and weather-stripping are all intact so your home is properly insulated.

Minimize your hot water usage

Make sure that your water heater is set at 120 degrees, any hotter is useless and a waste of energy. Consumers can even wash their clothes in cold or warm instead of hot when possible, and run the dishwasher and washing machine only with full loads.

Unplug fridges and freezers if not needed

We all know that refrigerators and freezers use lots of energy, so if you have a second one somewhere in home, you are just increasing the cost on your electricity bill. Learn to minimize your amount of food storage so that you can unplug the extra appliance.

Manage your light usage

Change your incandescent bulbs to LED or compact fluorescent bulbs to save energy on lighting. Since these lights do not produce as much heat as incandescent bulbs, you can also save greater in summer. You should also turn the lightings in your house if they are not being used.

Avoid phantom loads

Phantom load, also known as standby power or vampire power, is the electricity consumed by an electronic device while it is turned off or in standby mode. It is the power that maintains your TV settings and keeps the clock going on your DVD player and microwave, but this power comes at a price. So be diligent and unplug devices and appliances that are currently not in use.
