During the year 2015-16, India spent Rs.4.82 lakh crores on imports to fulfill domestic demand. To reduce the import burden, and also to work towards to a greener environment, it is proposed to avoid usage of Petrol/Diesel for one day in a week.

Our Hon’ble Prime Minister has urged all citizens to avoid usage of Petrol/Diesel for one day in a week. He has said that if 125 crore Indians pledge to do this, the dream of a ‘New India’ can be achieved.

Citizens are invited to suggest ways for encouraging and motivating the masses to avoid the usage of Petrol/Diesel for one day, every week.

As of now fuel used in many ways in day to day life like Generators, Private/public Transportation etc Generators used due to unavailability of electricity. Private Transportation due to unavailability or due to inflexible public transports. #Generators we can control if ensure electricity in those areas. Also make side/cycle walks indications on road and put banners/advertisements to use CYCLES for near by works. Publish public transport schedule and ask suggestion for new routes.

Additional suggestions to move to clean energy: Using a system like Project Sunroof - https://www.google.com/get/sunroof and designing it for India, more investments in renewable energy storage such as Tesla's battery packs, and encouraging cleantech startups. This would greatly help in reducing imports for petroleum/natural gas and accelerate our transition to clean energy. With the right strategies, the shift can happen faster than we think.

The best way would be to directly communicate the 'why': Why should citizens give up fossil fuels for a day? Explaining the benefits and consequences in a way that adds value to the people would have the most effect. For example, less diseases due to pollution, time saved due to less traffic, and less stress. Incentives can be another great way to move away from fossil fuels. Encouraging hybrid/electric vehicles by having special parking spots, tax incentives etc.

For reducing carbon footprints it`s goo initiative but far more can be done. Why not to make it compulsory for every developer and construction more than 200 square meter multistory building must install 10KW of solar like rain harvesting is compulsory. No one installs solar energy voluntary until it`s compulsory in law like nobody wants to purchase helmet while purchasing 2wheeler however in both cases it`s concerned with our own safety. This will surely help in reducing carbon footprints.

Please make a separate lane for Bicycles. I am leaving in Bangalore. The outer ring road is almost 10 lanes wide including service roads but all the time its jammed with traffic because of private and illegible shuttles/transport vehicles. If govt is not able to take any actions on these vehicles , at least make one lane for bicycles. So people can prefer bicycles to avoid traffic and encourage pollution free environment.
