Why

?
A name connects you, and your life, to the outside world. The many uses of gobar in millions of Indian homes is a wonderful example of the best use of natural resources. A tradition of wealth from waste.

So can we learn to apply these environmental principles in our modern lives to achieve a sustainable lifestyle and save ourselves and our planet?
