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:
Reduce - Electricity, Fuel Usage
Reuse - Old Clothes, Electronics, Building materials, furniture
Recycle - Plastic, newspapers, cartons, boxes
Renewable - Solar, Wind, Hydro, Tidal, Geothermal & Biomass
Recover - Forests, rivers, soil, mountains, wildlife
Redesign - Green buildings
Remanufacture - E-waste for new purposes

Our civilisational values have taught us the importance of living in harmony with nature. Today, let’s come together to protect our environment & take forward Mission LiFE - Lifestyle for Environment.

Consider a small child is going to school a big city in an expensive car weighing 2000 Kgs designed for stable driving at speeds up to 180 kmph or more. The following submissions perhaps merit a little thinking on the part of people enjoying entitlement to such luxury: 1) A lot of fossil fuel has been burnt and pollutants emitted to make that car, starting from producing steel to castings and so on. A lot of waste-heat has also been released in the air. 2) That car-engine burns fossil fuel to run. Pollutants are emitted. Only about 25% of the energy so produced is utilised. The rest is released in the air as waste-heat. 3) By every application of the brake, the energy of the motion becomes waste-heat. 4) En route, the car usually has to wait at signals, with scores of other cars, all engines running (hundreds do so in a big jam) to keep the a/c on. Does a child weighing 30 Kgs really need all this to reach school at may be 18 kmph average speed?

Awareness among political parties should be done across India. In the name of rally many waste petrol and diesel and go in bikes. Is this really necessary? Political leaders should be an example. They never bother to avoid such rallies and ride bikes and cars. Avoiding flex banners in public meetings. Many throw the chairs and water bottles and plastic covers after the meeting and make that place nasty. Each party conducting big meetings should be held responsible for the pollution they cause. Some party workers consume liquor and through everything and damage the plastic chairs. After eating food they throw the plates, paper cups and party flags irresponsibly. All elected representatives of the Government should act responsibly and ask their party workers to remain disciplined and clean the venue neatly after the event.

Government should provide free charging points at all petrol pumps across the country for personal electric vehicles for next 3 years. This will encourage people to switch to EV's. The cost of providing free charging stations would be definitely much less as compared to fuel import bills. This will also reduce the foreign currency deficit. Also import duty and gst on EV batteries should be reduced which will further reduce the cost of EV's and encourage people to shift to EV's. Next step should be converting all state transport busses to EV's.

Let us all Reduce Electricity usage by using natural lighting. India is blessed to have more than ample sunlight during the day hours. There is little need to use artificial lighting during the day. Also, let us remember to switch off (not put on standby) the electrical appliances e.g. fans, lights, TV, AC, computers etc. when not in use. Thank you in advance for your cooperation to save our planet 🙏

सादा जीवन उच्च विचार जीवन का सबसे बड़ा मूल मंत्र है भौतिक सुख सुविधा ही पर्यावरण का दोहन करती है जबिक मानव बाकी जीवों से अलग हैं क्योंकि पृथ्वी के संरक्षण के लिए मानव को ज्ञान योग शाकाहार जैसे उपहार मिले है जितना प्राकृतिक जीवन जिएंगे उतना ही पर्यावरण स्वच्छ और सुंदर बनेगा मानव को ऊर्जा के नए श्रोत ढूंढ लेने चाहिए सूर्य हमारी ऊर्जा की जरूरत पूरी कर देगा

Niti aayog and mygov.in working from last 8 years. But not a single problem of country solved. Government officer takes several lakhs as salary and other benefits of crores. But not ready to solve say problems. Mygov ask people ideas without payment but not ready to duscussions or implementation of ideas. Mygov.in only reject all ideas. Email भेजो तो जवाब नहीं दिया जाता है। There is more than 1 lakhs ideas available on IDEA BOX from last 3 years. But neither discussed nor implemented. Ideas बनानें बालों की मेहनत को बर्बाद किया जा रहा है। विदेशी पसंद है तो विदेशी ideas लगाओ। जनता के साथ धोखाधड़ी क्यों की जा रही है ? Mygov.in पर सिर्फ 5 posts 1000 characters each की लिखने की अनुमती है। जगह-जगह पर दीवारें, शर्तें खड़ी कर दी जाती है। इस माहोल में कोई कार्य होता नहीं है। पहली वार 5 से अधिक posts लिखने की सुविधा दी है।
