Hey Pune peeps, have you heard about the latest eco-friendly trend taking over the city? The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has reported a significant increase in the adoption of green technologies like solar energy, vermiculture, and rainwater harvesting. According to the Environment Status Report (ESR) for 2023-24, property owners are jumping on the sustainability bandwagon like never before.
In the past year, a whopping 1,28,091 property owners have taken advantage of tax rebates for installing solar systems, implementing vermiculture, and setting up rainwater harvesting facilities. This marks a substantial increase from the 1,11,000 properties that benefited from similar initiatives last fiscal year.
Solar energy seems to be all the rage, with 24,164 properties installing solar systems in the last year alone. The Central Government’s ‘Rooftop Solar Scheme’ has played a significant role in driving this adoption, showcasing Pune residents’ commitment to renewable energy sources.
However, it’s not all smooth sailing for everyone. Some residents have highlighted challenges in implementing these green projects, citing space constraints and lack of consensus among society members. Despite these hurdles, many agree that eco-friendly initiatives like vermiculture and solar energy are crucial in reducing utility bills and overall environmental impact.
So, if you’re a Pune resident looking to make a positive impact on the environment and save some cash while you’re at it, considering going green might just be the way to go. Let’s keep the momentum going and make Pune a shining example of sustainable living!
