At least he cares about the environment.

While they make for good decoration, their key function has to do with energy efficiency: The hydroponic plants, grown in liquid nutrient solutions instead of soil, lower the energy footprint of the home by absorbing heat and sunlight and providing shade that helps keep it cool.

Now he only has the energy footprint of Ethiopia vs. before when it was half of Africa.

Yeah, this sounds very eco-friendly...
There are plans to include an ice room in the center space, where the Ambanis could sit on a hot Mumbai day to cool off in a man-made snow flurry.

What's the point of making snow if there's no ski slope to ski on??? :roll:
