Promote India's transition to a low-carbon society

• Each one of us can do practical things to help our country move to a more sustainable, low-carbon society. For example, we can

  • Switch from conventional bulbs to compact fluorescent (CFL) bulbs;

  • Buy certified low-energy appliances instead of resource-intensive ones

  • Promote public transport, walking and cycling as alternatives to the private car

  • Demand more renewable energy from safe, green sources such as wind and solar, instead of coal-fired power plants

  • Ask our city and town leaders to plan our cities with climate change in mind – and ensure that the public participates in such processes

  • Ask our political leaders to set clear targets and timetables for India’s transition to a low-carbon society

  • Reduce use of plastics

  • Buy local products as far as possible

  • Reduce, recycle, reuse

  • Switch off electrical appliances when not in use

  • Switch from paper transactions to e-transactions wherever possible

  • Conserve water

  • Print only if you must

  • Climate Challenge India will help you be a ‘part of the change’!
