Q:I am planning to buy a property near Kolkata. As there is so much pollution problem in the city, I will buy it in the outskirts of the city. How can I bring nature or eco friendly measures to my new home?
Latest Answer: You can do many things on your own. You can start with windows which let in fresh air. Huge open windows might let in polluted air, dense with dust particles but the solution is in using a thin wire mesh in filtering the air that comes in through the windows.You can plant bonsai plants inside the house which consumes less space and also money plant which makes a charming pattern on walls.You can create an artificial mini waterfall, the soothing sounds would be a welcome therapy after a hard and long day at work. Clean the house with natural cleansing agent like neem leaves and avoid using chemical cleaners. Replace iron or metal furnitures with cane and bamboo ones. Use light coloured cotton fabrics as your bolsters, curtains, pillowcases, table cloth, etc.
