DECORATE YOUR GARDEN WITH YOUR OWN WASTE_REGIFORM POT




This inspiration we found in the garden of Mr. and Mrs. Kahawita De Silva, who are architects by profession. This is one of the beautiful plants in the garden and which is really interesting here is that the container of the growing plants and we found in a corner of their garden without any prominence given to it.

Today we can get the inspiration and develop this further to prevent or to minimize the damage course by us to the Mother Nature. This reveas the sensitivity of them to their environment. We believe our environment could be much greater if we start looking for inspirations than watching for substances.

SUSTAINABLE INDEX VS HOLCIM

Holcim sets benchmark in sustainability again 

For the fourth year in succession, Holcim has been named "Leader of the Industry" in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) and once again acknowledged as the company with the best sustainability performance in the building materials industry. The Group has been included in both the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index and the Dow Jones STOXX Sustainability Index for six years. 

The recognition rewards the continued and further strengthened commitment to sustainable development as an important part of the Group’s strategy. The Group’s recycling strategy, its dialogue with stakeholders as well as its efforts in human resources development received top scores.

The Dow Jones Sustainability World Index comprises the top 10 percent of the biggest 2,500 companies globally. The Dow Jones STOXX Sustainability Index includes 20 percent of the best-placed companies in the Dow Jones STOXX 600 Index.

GO HUNTING | BARGAIN BOOKS


Hey all.

Which is more important:

1.0 buy a new book for the original price?
2.0 buy a bargained book for half the price?

Its all that you have to decide. 

But i found a great fortune in buying bargained books and i got them for 50% discount.
All what i have to do is to spend a little money and rebind it.

If you walk around the coners of Colombo Im sure that you would find such Great Books.
Again in the proper book shops it is available.

Hope we should not let someones efforts decay and it would be profitable for us as well.

cheers
