Bijili Bachao

The Name translates to "Save Electricity" in English. For a good number of reasons I like this website (https://www.bijlibachao.com)
It looks pretty basic and is user friendly. It focuses on India and has some good reading material.
Thanks

Any Material that is not serving a purpose is Polluting the Environment

One fundamental requirement of green engineering is to maximize use the resources at your immediate disposal.
Starting with a simple example, You have a water outlet from your compound. Rodents use it to enter your compound. You are looking for a way to prevent that. The Options you have are
1. Buy a perforated cap that is available in the store and close the outlet. It will prevent the rodents from entering your compound.
2. Use anti-rodent chemical near the outlet so that rodents don't come insite
3. You have an old mesh available with you that can be cut and into a shape to close the outlet

Option 3 is green even if the mesh is made of plastic and not metal. Instead of keeping the material idle, we should use it. This is one of the fundamental requirements of Green Engineering.

Any Material that is not serving a purpose is Polluting the Environment. Therefore, look in your garages, store rooms and other storage, identify the idling material and recycle it or sell it immediately. That will offer you the best value and pollution free environment.

Green Eng. Thru Standardization

Standardization to components that make up an end product adds up to
green engineering.
Standardized components can be interchanged between products and brands.
This will reduce redundant manufacturing facilities, costs, etc. This
will help manufacturing in mass to reduce waste.
