This is a description of the project...

The rich waste water and electricity with the same ease as the poor
take pains to use the same resources. The sense of responsibility is
very low and the ones who save, need to be rewarded. 'Amend' works at
the very principle of giving benefit to conscious people versus making
the irresponsible pay more.

'Amend' is an electricity and water meter which is issued by the
government to the users. Alongwith this, the government issues the
recommended usage for water and electricity in units per person and a
Green Card. If the family saves from these recommended units, they get
Green Points accordingly. At the end of the month, the user can swipe
the Green Card which gets the points in it. These points can then be
used in any government aided service like Cottage Industry products, Metro
services etc. to get a discount.

On the other hand if the family wastes and exceeds their recommended
usage, they get negative Green Points. These points then add up to a
fine they have to pay on their water and electricity bill.

This way the government aided products and services which give employment to the poor and
use cleaner ways of manufacturing are encouraged. Also this helps a country in becoming a bit more self sufficient.

A plant is provided with Amend which emphasises on the responsibility
we have towards our environment. Hence 'Amend' helps us to make
amends in what we have ruined.
