By adopting daylight saving we can save energy. Shift INDIA's time zone by half an hour. Evening we can switch on lights 30 minutes late by doing this & save energy. Advertise in oil company outlets and Govt offices, bus, railway stations, airport on swich off the lights when we do not need them. Print them on electricity bills govt documents. Advertise in cinema halls. Encourage self production of solar electricity at homes. Remove taxes on solar. If given appointment can suggest more with PPT.

Make energy efficient lighting affordable. Cost of LED lighting is prohibitive today we have to make a LED bulb affordable and it should cost only a little more than the CFL.

Use Daylight Saving Time-DST

my suggestion would be that we should utilise natures gift by just installing solar panels and wind turbines in each and every home rather than polluting air by burning coal

Use solar lights during festivals such as Diwali. These work great and there is plenty of sun in India.

Keep track of the environmental voting records of candidates for office. Stay abreast of environmental issues on both local and national levels, and write or call your elected officials to express your concerns about energy efficiency and global warming.

Work with your employer to implement these and other energy-efficiency and waste-reduction measures in your office or workplace. Form or join local citizens' groups and work with local government officials to see that these measures are taken in schools and public buildings.

Plant shade trees and paint your house a light color if you live in a warm climate, or a dark color if you live in a cold climate. Reductions in energy use resulting from shade trees and appropriate painting can save up to 2.4 tons of CO2 emissions per year. (Each tree also directly absorbs about 25 pounds of CO2 from the air annually.)

Modernize your windows. Replacing all your ordinary windows with argon filled, double-glazed windows saves 2.4 tons of CO2 per year for homes with gas heat, 3.9 tons of oil heat, and 9.8 tons for electric heat.

Insulate your walls and ceilings. This can save 20 to 30 percent of home heating bills and reduce CO2 emissions by 140 to 2100 pounds per year. If you live in a colder climate, consider superinsulating. That can save 5.5 tons of CO2 per year for gas-heated homes, 8.8 tons per year for oil heat, or 23 tons per year for electric heat. (If you have electric heat, you might also consider switching to more efficient gas or oil.)
