For Union environment minister Harsh Vardhan, water conservation begins at his office. Vardhan has asked staffers at the Paryavaran Bhawan in Delhi to use less water for flushing toilets, and do away with the practice of doling out drinking water bottles at conferences. What’s more, the minister has come up with a novel idea to prevent flush tanks from ejecting more water than needed. The minister’s other conservation measure involves replacing PET water bottles at conference halls with small glasses of water. Another idea touted by the minister involves meeting morning walkers at parks and urging them to cycle to work.
