We strongly encourage recycling of old materials. * We never use chemical fertilizers and pesticides in the farm. * We use bio-gas cooking system * Mechanised boats or speed boats are not supported in the backwater, only locally made traditional country boats are promoted with the help of local men. * Locally produced lime is used for white washing the house. * Home made wine and toddy, the local brew from coconut tree are encouraged. * Making efforts to create awareness among villagers to protect natural ecology and fragile environment especially the backwaters * Income generated from Gramam is used to maintain the 65 years old heritage house and improvement of three acres coconut garden.
