▪️GREEN GOOD DEEDS CAMPAIGN
It was launched by the MOEFCC Ministry to sensitize the people and students, in particular, about climate change and global warming.
It‘s a people-oriented campaign. The plan is to broad-base it with the involvement of teachers, students and other voluntary organizations
▪️Nitrogen for Life
A campaign on sustainable nitrogen management called “Nitrogen for Life” was launced alongside Colombo Declaration
▪️ “Wood is Good” Campaign
The Union Ministry of Environment and Forests and Climate Change (MoEFCC) has launched “Wood is Good” Campaign under Partnership for Land Use Science (Forest-Plus).
It was launched on sidelines of two-day conference on “Sustainable landscapes and forest ecosystems: Theory to Practice” in New Delhi.
The purpose of campaign is to promote wood as climate-friendly resource and substitute to materials like steel and plastic as it is carbon neutral unlike others materials which leave carbon footprint in their production

✅Biofuels: an opportunity for India
Bio fuel
•✅ Bio-fuels are a source of energy derived from the conversion of carbon-fixing biomass
through thermal, chemical or biochemical processes.
✅• Their popularity arises from the fact that they are cheaper and less environmentally
polluting than fossil fuels.
✅• 1st generation bio fuel- Directly using the food crops like wheat and sugar for making
ethanol and oil seeds for bio diesel by conventional method of fermentation. These fuels
emitted more greenhouse gases.
✅• 2nd generation bio fuel- Non-food crops and feedstock instead of food crops. Example:
Wood, grass, seed crops, organic waste etc.
✅ • 3rd generation bio fuel- Use specially engineered Algae whose biomass is used to convert
into biofuels. The greenhouse gas emission here will be low in comparison to others.
✅4th generation bio fuel- are aimed at not only producing sustainable energy but also a way of
capturing and storing co2.
Topic- GS-3- Infrastructure: Energy, Ports, Roads, Airports, Railways etc.
