The Radhadesh community has restarted its community beehive project and has installed a new electric car charger to encourage sustainable transportation. These two projects are part of its overall environmental initiatives, a pillar of the community’s key vision. In particular, beekeeping is part of its plan to enhance biodiversity on the expansive property. The electric car charger is the community’s first step towards low-carbon mobility. The village generates 40 percent of its electricity from solar panels; hence, part of the cars charged will run on solar electricity.
“We encourage both the resident devotees and visitors to use the charger. This is an important endeavor in transitioning towards independence from fossil fuels. Reducing emissions and self-reliance are not optional but critical in the face of climate change. Hence, we are keen to implement and expand them,” said Ekacakra Das, president of Radhadesh. “We are interested in shifting towards alternative energy in all areas of life. Unfortunately, we cannot install more solar panels owing to lack of space; however, we are contemplating installing a combined heat and power system in the future to achieve self-reliance in electricity,” he added.
