As a front runner and an eco-friendly entrepreneur I would work as a part of the society and help out a social cause. With apartments fast gobbling up open spaces meant for gardens, a number of residents in the city have taken to terrace gardening to add some green to their living space. We get hands-on training and awareness are must so that people start their own terrace garden and the open space come very handy also. By planting more than 50 shrubs, herbs, flowers and vegetables on building terrace will give the open space a fresh and colourful look. The vision is very clear to make the city clean and green. Just like Swacch Bharat initiative making use of the open space is a great initiative to help out eco-friendly atmosphere in the commercial capital buzzing with activities. The main advantage is that the open space is utilised usefully and one get fresh food for family without adulteration and you are connected to nature and you waste far less food after growing it yourself. Add to that there is less carbon print in your surroundings. You can grow crops by using the waste water left after washing of utensils. By going for terrace gardening you are able come out with a solution to solve space crunch and make use of the open space in the best way possible.
