 ENVIRONMENT FRIENDLY INITIATIVES
 environment-friendly practices like
• rainwater harvesting
• greening of the hills
• plantation of saplings and thousands of trees in the desert
• waste water recycling reduce water wastage.
• Guests are also entreated to use water wisely and to save electricity.
 Here at Neemrana, they don't believe in generating green garbage and don't promote the use of cut flowers.
Instead, wildflowers and even leaves from garden are used as per requirements.

 They use local material like dry raw crop, flowers and leaves which double up as decorations and last for a long
time.

 During pleasant weather, instead of seating guests in an AC hall for tea or dinner, they serve food in open spaces
which offer a fresh and natural environment to diners.

 Saving power by minimizing the use of AC's means a reduction in the emissions of carbon dioxide, which help in
curbing the effects of global warming
 ENVIRONMENT FRIENDLY
 initiative of growing our own vegetables INITIATIVES
 do not use chemical fertilizers all organic.

 Bigger gardens also mean a huge supply of dry leaves which can be used as organic leaf manure.

 use hand wash and laundry soaps which generate less foam which is directly responsible for water saving

 We refrain from using plastic cups and glasses instead, we use an eco-friendly alternative which is the earthen kulhad.

 These earthen utensils decompose easily and reduce the amount of water used for washing.

 They do not use plastic bags at Shops, but only encourage the use of recycled bags.

 Use of LED bulbs instead of regular bulbs that save energy and provide an economical option.
However we provide a complimentary palki (palanquin) service for the convenience of our elderly and differently-
abled guests.
 WEAKNESS OF THE RESORT
