Our commitment to the Earth…

At TNG®, we strongly believe the importance of looking after the health of our planet.

We believe we can all make a difference everyday by being mindful of how we relate to our local environment. Leading a sustainable life is our daily commitment and our way to provide for the next generations.

Some insights into how we accomplish this…

Building with locally sourced organic materials

• • We use stones from our river and local wood for building, as well as natural chalk and paint.

Growing sustainable food to feed our community

• • We have over 50 fruit trees and two large organic gardens which provide for the community, and we choose vegetarian diet.

Practicing Bio Forest-Composting

Leftovers of fruits and vegetables are composted to help the soil retain moisture

Protecting daily the Environment in small ways that add up…

• We produce and use non-invasive laundry detergent and cleaning products to meet our needs
• We use mulch and other recycling materials to minimize the usage of water for the flowers and vegetable cultures

Recycling everything possible

• We recycle as much as we can, thus limiting waste and excessive consumption 

Leading a healthy lifestyle

• • The use of smoke and drugs is prohibited on site. 
  • Support local shops and buy in bulk and request paper rather than in plastic.

Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy

• • We install Wood Heating System for buildings, fuelled by our own renewable resources. We adopt low energy devices, such as appliances and lightbulbs.

Smart Water usage

• • Aware of how water is precious and scarce, all usage is done parsimoniously including our Bio-cultures. 
  • The community is provided with well-water equipped with water treatment unit, thus avoiding regular use of plastic water bottles.

Responsible Waste Management

• • With our own recycling and composting system, we manage food waste efficiently
  • We eliminate use of plastic cups and minimizing the use of disposable utensils during large events. Our sewage waste system is sustainable.

Transportation:

• • Use public transport when possible or car sharing.

TNG is SANCTUARY FOR EXTINCT VARIEIES OF INSECTS

In year 2K, liaising with a local biologist, Theg-Chog Norbu Ling® participated in the reinsertion of local extinguishe species of rare insects. Because of our pristine river, rare water animals and birds are finding a refuge here.
