• The ski terrain is largely for advanced skiers,
  and although there are some easy places to ski,

• Igloo Village In Engelberg.
• This igloo village is located most beautifully at
  the Trübsee. Located at an altitude of 1800
  metres, this village makes you feel like the
  first human being in the mountains.
• No stray light keeps the stars from competing
  with the ice crystals for the best glitter. At
  daytimes, discover the new snowXpark with
  electric snow bikes and paragliding.
• Some get married in igloo village. Monasteries
  and igloos have got more in common than you might
  expect The Showcase cheese factory at the
  Engelberg monastery presents carefully handmade
  edible cheese in igloo shape and the monastery
  shop.
• The cheese is highly appreciated by the igloo
  guests and monastery visitors alike. A pastry
  shop in Zermatt bakes yeast-raised pastries with
  icing the so called igloo bun

12
Engelberg Green factor

• Recycling
• All resorts offer recycling facilities to guests,
  either within their accommodation and/or
  at special recycling points, which are hopefully
  convenient
• Waste reduction policy
• The influx of winter guests to ski areas tends to
  bring an influx of, what's politely termed 'waste
  water', to the mountains as thousands of guests
  use the toilets on the mountain and bathroom in
  their accommodation.
• The most environmentally forward thinking ski
  areas are using techniques such as composting to
  reduce waste from mountain restaurants. In some
  areas purified wastewater is also being used for
  snowmaking, on the one hand an eco friendly
  measure as it recycles

13

• Traffic Reduction Policy
• Traffic reduction can take many forms. Several
  Swiss resorts and a few in other countries have
  banned cars altogether for decades. Some have
  never had cars on their streets.
• Other approaches include pedestrianized centres
  and out-of-centre car parking with resort centre
  access only on foot or by public transport
  - hopefully, electrically powered buses.
• These, along with expensive and/or severely
  restricted resort centre parking, and an
  efficient free and cheap bus service, all help to
  reduce traffic problems and thus cut emissions.

14

• Green Building Policy
• In Engleberg ,Ski resorts are increasingly
  looking at minimising the environmental impact of
  their construction projects, as well as the
  impact of newly erected buildings and other
  infrastructure.
• Having a green building policy means resorts put
  environmental concerns at the top of the when
  working on new projects.
• This can include a myriad of things from using
  helicopters to reduce the damage to surrounding
  land when building in sensitive areas, to using
  natural, local materials for building and looking
  for maximum insulation and minimum power
  requirements, ideally supplied in as eco-friendly
  a way as possible.

15
Grey Water Treatment.

• Grey water  is defined as waste water generated
  from wash hand basins, showers and baths, which
  can be recycled on-site for uses such as WC
  flushing, landscape irrigation and constructed
  wet lands
• They also recycle grey water (e.g. water used
  for baths or washing clothes), by cleaning it and
  then using it to water the garden

16
Sludge Dewatering

• Sludge Dewatering treatment plant in Engelberg.
• In 1967 the waste water treatment plant (WWTP)
  operated.
• The generation of electricity from the treated
  waste water
• Power Generation and Biogas Plant.
• Converts the Biogas produced during the sewage
  treatment process into electrical energy.

POLICIES .may apply to Engleberg.

• Eco-tax taxes intended to promote ecologically
  sustainable activities via economic incentives.

  or eco-tariff, is an import or export tax placed
  on products being imported from, or also being
  sent to countries with substandard environmental
  pollution controls.
• Net metering it is a policy designed to foster
  private investment in renewable energy. In the
  United States, as part of the Energy Policy Act

  required to make available upon request net
  metering to their customers.
• Environmental pricing reform EPR is the process
  of adjusting market prices to include
  environmental costs and benefits.

  accounting that attempts to factor environmental
  costs into the financial results of operations.
• Green economy The green economy is one that
  results in improved human well-being and social
  equity, while significantly reducing
  environmental risks and ecological scarcities
• Green trading Green trading encompasses all forms
  of environmental financial trading, including
  carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide (acid rain),
  nitrogen oxide (ozone), renewable energy credits,
  and energy efficiency .
• Eco commerce Eco commerce is a business,
  investment, and technology-development model that

  worlds energy needs and environmental integrity.
• Environmental enterprise An environmental
  enterprise is an environmentally

20
POSSIBLE DYNAMICS.

• Renewable energy commercialization involves the
  deployment of three generations of renewable
  energy technologies dating back more than 100
  years
• E.g... The wind, Sun, and biomass are three
  renewable energy sources.
• Marginal abatement cost MAC curves cover
  emissions reduction opportunities across a number
  of sectors in an economy including power,
  industry, waste, buildings, transport,
  agriculture, and forestry.
• Green paradox The Green Paradox describes the
  fact that an environmental policy that becomes
  greener with the passage of time acts like an
  announced expropriation for the owners of fossil
  fuel resources, inducing them to anticipate
  resource extraction and hence to accelerate
  global warming.
• Green politics Green politics is a political
  ideology that aims to create an ecologically
  sustainable society rooted in environmentalism,
  social justice, and grassroots democracy.
• Pollution haven hypothesis The pollution haven
  hypothesis posits that, when large industrialized
  nations seek to set up factories or offices
  abroad, they will often look for the cheapest
  option in terms of resources and labor that
  offers the land and material access they require

21
CARBON RELATED ..(CO2 emission)

• Following are the few well proved theory that
  we can apply to control and measure co2 emission
  in environment and make it sustainable.
