 Earth is our home, it is 4.5 billion years old, and the only home we have. We are only one among 8.7 million species. And over the centuries, we have changed our planet. We have made great strides in science and technology. We have comfortable lives. But all of this has come at a cost. Our actions are harming the planet. They are changing the climate, destroying ecosystems and killing living beings. Wildlife populations have declined by 68% since 1970. Air, land and water, we have used every natural resource and left it either polluted or extinct. Microplastics are now found from the deepest oceans to the highest peaks. If we do not reduce our plastic consumption drastically, it is estimated that by 2050 there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish. Things are at the tipping point. Every choice that we make, every action that we take, echoes in the natural world long after we are gone. Today we stand at a juncture that was chosen for us by those who came before us. This is a critical time in the history of our planet, and we must make the right choices. India has always inspired the world with innovative solutions to complex problems. Sustainability is embedded in the Indian way of life, in our tradition and culture. From an ambitious net zero by 2030 target for Indian railways, the fourth largest railway network in the world, to the world's largest affordable LED for all initiative, to transforming lives of millions of women by providing fuel, gas for cooking and heating, to decarbonisation through green hydrogen, India is spearheading the quest for a sustainable planet. Act now. Close that tap. Switch off the engine. Recycle, nurture, grow, heal, breathe. We can resolve the climate crisis. The answer lies with us, in the smallest of decisions that we take every day. Our choices will ripple through time and can heal our planet. We can choose to become pro-planet people. That is to say, lifestyle for environment. Today, we all need to come together, with collective participation, lifestyle for environment. That is to say, to move life forward like a statement. This environmental conscious lifestyle can become a mass movement. Today, we need a mindless and destructive consumption, mindful and deliberate utilisation. Millions of people in the world, every day's choices will take the fight against climate change, a billion steps ahead of them.
