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.

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.

1. Reduce
2. Reuse
3. Recycle
4. Renewable
5. Recover
6. Re-design
7. Re-manufacture

Few examples for the above:

Recycle - Plastic, newspapers, cartons, boxes
Renewable - Solar, Wind, Hydro, Tidal, Geothermal & Biomass
Recover - Forests, rivers, soil, mountains, wildlife

Reducing the amount you buy is the most significant of all the options to manage waste. The key is to only purchase goods that we need and in the right amount. If we never generate products in the first place, we do not have to extract raw resources, manufacture goods from scratch, come up with shipping materials, utilize additional resources for shipping, and then devise ways to dispose of them.

Current disposal methods threaten our health, safety, and environment, and pose additional indirect costs to society. Most industrial, commercial, and household waste is now being placed in landfills or surface impoundments. Waste treated in this manner may contaminate groundwater, rivers, and streams. When waste is burned, it releases hazardous gases into the air and leaves toxic residues in the form of ash. These hazardous waste byproducts find their way into humans and animals in one form or another.

As a nation, we are generating more garbage and we don't know what to do with it. Ineffctive or irresponsible disposal of this waste can pollute the environment and pose a public health risk. We are running out of space in existing landfills. Citizens are discovering that there is no easy way to get rid of the garbage they once assumed could be buried or burned and forgotten.

Reduce: Buy only what you need because a better way to reduce waste is by not creating it. Reuse: If you have to acquire goods, try getting used ones or obtaining substitutes. Recycle: When discarding your waste, find ways to recycle it instead of letting it go to landfill.

Another 2R's are: Rethink is about considering how our actions affect the environment. Recover refers to the practice of putting waste products to use.

3R's are: Reduce means to minimise the amount of waste we create. Reuse refers to using items more than once. Recycle means putting a product to a new use instead of throwing it away.

If any individual or any Government agencies are SINCERELY interested. This is not a dialogue in election speeches. This is a new revolution and our mission with 100% ESG policies.

We can convert thousands of hecters of chemical land into certified organic land (without expenses for fertilisers, pesticides, water, power or gas) to trible farmers income, to save billions of USD in governments annual budget for various subsidies and welfare schemes, to provide organic food for millions of children, to implement ESG policies, to protect our +1.3 billion people from chemical food and to protect the planet from carbon and polutions. For example, Sikkim became first state in the world for Organic state in 5 years. W don't want any money or advice or support from any government agencies, being they promote chemical farming. We want private investment of Rs. 6 CR for one time investment to make thousands of hectors of land as organic with GUARANTEED PROFIT @ 90% forever. Our services are FREE for poor farmers to make them self-sufficiant in all aspects.
