Sourabha Ecofriendly HOME

Thank you all:

Clouds - provided rainwater for all the water needs (24X7 - 365 days a year) including drinking water, no city water connection and we have not received monthly water bill till date.

Rainwater Harvesting System

Zero bacteria water by treating with SILVER sheet

White roof to reflect the suns heat

Sun - gave us light, heat, warmth and energy to hundreds of plants in and around Sourabha.

Sky lights to light-up the house

Trees and Plants - Air-conditioned our house without using electricity, gave us fresh and cool air by filtering dust and pollutants throughout the year. Neem tree and several medicinal plants avoided visiting "Doctors" for years. Sheltered many birds, butterflies, insects and many more.

Earthworms - Tirelessly converted all our tons and tons of garbage in to manure which is now stored as fixed deposit in the form of several trees and hundreds of lovely plants.

Fish, tortoise, snails, tadpoles... - Kept our water bodies filled with rainwater fresh and clean throughout the year and also protected the lotus to give us each day one flower.
