LiFE is an India-led global movement to nudge individuals to take simple yet effective environment-friendly actions in their daily lives.
The event will highlight how the youth can inspire behavioural change that leads to individual and collective action towards an environmentally conscious lifestyle.
The LiFE themes are to conserve energy and water, reduce waste, adopt sustainable food systems and a healthy lifestyle, and say no to single-use plastic. Some of the examples of LiFE actions are using bicycles for short commutes, turning off running taps when not in active use, consuming locally available foods, using natural or organic products, planting trees, reducing waste, and segregating wet and dry waste at home.
The event activities will include a bicycle rally, symbolizing the ease and significance of eco-friendly and healthy modes of transportation. The rally will take the scenic route around India Gate.
