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.

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. Every MLA and MP should take a oath that they will take care of the environment and will work to protect the environment and protect it. This has to be done by all.

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 🙏

This is my post no. 17. Read my all previous posts. Government already opened Environment ministry. What Environment ministry doing from last 75 years? Ministry not doing anything to protect Environment. Ministry is a flopped show. Ministry need to prepare Environment conscious lifestyle. Niti aayog, Government and mygov team want that non paid change maker give ideas for Environment conscious lifestyle. And mygov team, Government and Niti aayog will reject all ideas. A Environment Board should start which have reputed private people of environmentalist. No one should from Government or govt support groups in this team. Few change maker and people looking to their ideas can also join. I do not think नीति आयोग or mygov or Government are serious about this Environment issues

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.

Respected Sir, There is a new construction technology which we have to bring into India is Cold Form Steel construction or Light Gauge Steel Framing technology which will help to reduce carbon in construction industry. Energy Conservation: Since 1990, the steel industry has reduced energy intensity per ton of steel produced by 31 percent and CO2 emissions by 36 percent per ton of steel shipped, According to the American Iron and Steel Institute.

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?
