At the UN Climate Change Conference COP26 in 2021, PM Shri Narendra Modi announced the ‘LiFE’, a mission to bring individual behavioural change at the forefront of the global climate action narrative. LIFE or Lifestyle for Environment along with the ‘Pro Planet People’ movement, aims to strengthen the efforts to overcome climate change.

LiFE will replace the prevailing 'use-and-throw’ thinking with an environmentally conscious lifestyle. The Mission is to create a global community of ‘Pro-Planet People’ (P3), who with their shared commitment will adopt and promote environmentally friendly lifestyles.

Individual Efforts Are Key to Climate Commitment

India's traditional knowledge strongly positions it to lead the narrative of addressing climate change. Like many other mass movements, LiFE aims to inspire climate action based on the mantra of ‘Sabka Sath, Sabka Vikas’.

MyGov invites you to share your ideas and suggestions on how to adapt to an environmentally conscious lifestyle.

India is one of the leaders in sustainable development and clean energy. With the Hon PM Narendra Modi-led government’s reform-oriented, environment-friendly policies, the country has time & again shown that sound environmental policies can pave the way to a sound economy. India's traditional knowledge strongly positions it to lead the narrative of addressing climate change. Like many other mass movements, LiFE aims to inspire climate action based on the mantra of ‘Sabka Sath, Sabka Vikas’.

Encourage the use of slates in Pre-school which will reduce the use of Paper . It was done about 5 decades ago. Schools should take children living in the radius of 5-6 kilometers , this will reduce the number of school buses cris crossing the city and wasting fuel. This system is followed in the United States.

It is true that today plastic has become a part of our life and it is also dangerous for the environment but plastic waste can be well managed with the principles of Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. So now the time has come that we should take steps towards making our earth clean and healthy by eliminating plastic waste.

To manage plastic, the first principle is to Reduce. Today the most effective way to manage plastic waste is to not create plastics in the first place.

The most common reusable items include carrier bags, plastic bottles, envelopes, jars, pots, newspapers, bubble wraps, cardboard, tyre, scrap papers and used wood. Besides these, old electronic equipment and rechargeable batteries can also be re-used again and again. There are certain waste materials which are used in manufacturing process of other products. Reusing is an ideal way to save energy and lower production costs of all goods and materials.

Reusing is another eco-efficient way of saving resources and energy and creatively re-using items in future. It also reduces pressure on industrial production, which means lower industrial pollution. The disposal costs and needs become lesser, at the same time. Apart from environmental benefits, re-using is a cost-effective measure for businesses and consumers since it's more reasonable, compared to new produce.

Environment can be best sustained for the future, by reducing the amount of waste production. Whether at home, while shopping or at work, daily practices helps in reducing excess waste and prevents pollution. Purchasing or gifting products with simple or minimal packaging, using more re-usable materials and avoiding thin plastic bags saves energy and lowers environmental pressure. Reducing is basically lowering down usage, from petrol and diesel to regular commodities.
