Castelino: Some Green Measures can actually be very heavy on the pocket. Initial investment to implement these measures is the only hurdle.
Fortunately some of these projects have a low buy pack period which makes things a little easier. But implementing projects with a higher buy back period becomes a problem.
Raj: 1. Resistance to change among the people which could be solved over a period of time
2. Easy to install in the new project and become complex while installing in the existing properties
Thakur : Challenges such as awareness and availability of funds

What advice do you have for your colleagues looking to incorporate green into their day-to-day functioning?
Castelino: Going green is the need of the hour. Going green at this stage would mean more profits.
Eventually governments will force us all to implement green measures. Why be forced by someone to do something that’s a bigger advantage to us and the society at the same time. It’s more logical to invest in these measures now and reap the benefits so that you save more in the long run.
Raj: The three important aspects of environmental protection are “Reduce , Recycle and Reuse”. First of all do not consume any form of energy or resource when it is not mandatory. Recycle the resources wherever it is possible. . For example water is precise and we can start saving the water by recycling.
While recycling the water it is better to adopt the ozone plant technology to get best results. In many cases it makes more sense to replace the inefficient machines with the latest ones with better technologies.
Baljee: New ideas for energy consumption and avoidance of wasteful practices can be shared with the others in the industry so that there is common benefit for everyone.
