Sir, Following are my suggestions * Lower the tax of electric bikes and cars and set up solar powered recharge stations in cities. * Increase the tax of plastic carry bags (also banning plastic bags) and decrease the tax or zero tax to degradable bags such as cloth bags. * Simultaneous generation of biogas and electricity is possible; i.e, food waste can be converted into something useful. * Bring back our old way(biofarming methods) for agriculture rather than using chemicals.

honble sir, recently germany has adopted wind farms technology where the wind mills are installed in ocean and the wind energy from the ocean is utilised to generate 50% of its electricity. it also uses a sea photo voltaic cell to run its airports and the technology itself is amazing. the details are posted in the nat geo magzine. why cant we use this technology to reduce our dependance on mineral resources to generate electricity?

Increase share of non fossil fuel based electricity 1. Launch national scheme for setting up solar power wind power stations in villages in PPP model.this initiative can be driven through PM Adarsh Gram Yojana. Private sector power companies can be brought in to build village level power plants and distribute power. LED lights can be provided by Govt. This initiative will reduce use of kerosene to light houses.

Honourable Minister,Environmental science is just taught as a subject where students learn to obtain the marks.They are not involved in any task or activity like educational trips,demonstration of simple activities like composting,rain water harvesting or making some eco-friendly things just by using household waste etc.Encouraging activity based learning is the best way to foster sustainable lifestyle practices among students through education as we know "Students are the future of nation".
