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.

We want to do it all and do it in real quick time. Slow down don't rush into things. Let your life unfold. Wait a bit to see where it takes you, and take time to weigh your options.

5. Part ways with single-use plastic It’s important to minimise our use of single-use plastic (plastic that we use once and then throw away) because it can take hundreds or even thousands of years for certain plastics to break down in landfill. Examples of single-use plastic include food packaging, lightweight plastic bags, drinks containers and coffee cups, disposable utensils and wet wipes. By minimising your use of these products whenever possible, you can help reduce and prevent long-lasting damage to the environment. Simple ways to tackle plastic waste include cooking from raw materials whenever possible, investing in reusable water bottles and coffee cups, and taking your own reusable bags when shopping. If you must use plastic bags, be sure to dispose of them using the special programmes run by the government and supermarkets to recycle this difficult material.

4. Recycle more Today, we’re pretty well informed about greenhouse gases and their contribution to climate change. Many of us avoid creating waste where we can, but it’s not always easy. This is when reusing, recycling or upcycling becomes really important. Sending rubbish to landfill is bad for the environment, as landfills are one of the worst sources of toxins and greenhouse gas emissions.

3. Use less energy in the home Reducing how much energy you use in the home is something we can all do to be more sustainable. According to the latest figures from the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions, 31% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions come from electricity and heating 1, so making an effort to use less energy is one of the most effective ways to do your bit for the planet.

2. Support local sustainability charities and initiatives In the wake of a pandemic, small charities and community interest groups focused on sustainability need support more than ever. When it comes to taking direct action to address environmental issues on your doorstep, one of the most impactful ways to make a difference is by supporting local sustainability charities and eco-friendly groups. You can do this by volunteering, sharing skills or donating if you’re in a position to do so.

Global Ideas & Suggestions For LiFE - Building an Environmentally Sustainable Future Five simple ways to create a more sustainable future In recent years, we’ve seen a global rise in environmental concern. Heightened awareness of problems such as the climate change crisis, damage to the ozone layer, deforestation and loss of biodiversity has prompted a collective push for action. 1. Buy from sustainable brands Many of us are already making a conscious effort to buy better in order to reduce our carbon footprint. This means choosing locally produced goods and supporting brands who are clear about their sustainability initiatives. Most of the time, when we think about shopping sustainably, we consider the impact of consumer goods first and foremost – tangible products we can see and hold such as groceries, clothing and furniture. We think about shopping for food without excess packaging, avoiding fast fashion and buying reclaimed, eco-friendly furniture items.

Reduce:- • If the farmers are given proper support of Solar Electricity solutions majority of the electricity problems will reduce because in this country a good amount of energy is getting used and wasted at the agricultural lands. Sir, if my points got notified by any of your officials i am very glad and happy
