Oil and Gas is a key primary energy resource, fulfilling about 40% of country’s energy demand. The major sectors of economy which utilize Oil & Gas are Transport, Industry, commercial buildings and agriculture. Our country is currently importing over 75% crude oil to met domestic consumption. Therefore, generating awareness among the consumers about judicious use of petroleum products is a National initiative. The daily consumers can realize that by adopting simple conservation measures they can minimize wastage of fuel in day to day life and save substantial cost.

To promote conservation of petroleum products and environment protection in the country, MOP&NG in the year 1991 took the initiative to celebrate Oil Conservation Week (OCW) every year throughout the country. Encouraged by the tremendous success of campaign, w.e.f. the year 2004, this event is being observed as “Oil & Gas Conservation Fortnight (OGCF). With the involvement of all the Oil & Gas companies, State Govt., Transport Corporations, NGOs, this nation-wide campaign has eventually become very effective tool in creating and spreading awareness among the masses about the importance of conservation of petroleum products in the country.

During this 15 day period, a large number of activities like technical seminars, symposiums, quiz, painting competitions, mass / cycle rallies, marathons, human chain, etc. are arranged for the propagation of Oil and Gas conservation message amongst the major consuming sectors. Every year, the functions and events are held at Delhi, state Capitals, District and towns.

This year also, it is proposed to celebrate this OGCF (2015), from 16th to 31st January; with new / innovative activities connecting various target groups and common people.

PCRA invites suggestions from all citizens about the conservation activities which can result in better outreach and involvement of common consumers so that they develop greater responsibility towards Oil & Gas conservation.

Last date for sending your suggestions is 20th December, 2014.

2) All government canteens, defence campuses, universities, schools and other bulk generators of wet waste should switch to biogas to cook with input feed of ever available wet waste, leftover food and garden waste. This will provide import substitution for LPG saving us billions of dollars. Appropriate subsidies can be given and unemployed youth can be trained to maintain these plants as many have shut down for lack of proper maintenance.

1) To save auto fuel, every signal compulsorily should have timers which signal to the road user how much time is left till the signal turns green, thus he can switch off his vehicle. For an average of 30 seconds per signal and an average of 20 signals a day, this is 10 min of idling time reduced per vehicle.Multiply by an estimated 20 million vehicles on the road everyday, that is 200 million minutes of time save

India imports USD 120 billion of crude oil, & billions of dollars of coal. This also causes pollution. India should base its economy on ethanol. Ethanol can replace all fuels required for transportation and are clean. It can help with trade balance also.

TAXIS USUALLY RUN FOR 5 LAKH KMs BEFORE SOLD OFF.OLA & UBER TAXIS TAKING MUCH LESS TIME TO COMPLETE LIFE RUN (2 years compared to 4 years). SAME LIFECYCLE INCOME GETS PAID TO UBER/OLA FOR ONLY 2 YEARS, SO DOUBLE MONTHLY SALARY. RESULT IS THAT DRIVERS PREFER UBER/OLA. APP HELPS IN REDUCING TIME WASTED IN CUSTOMERS HIRING TAXIS & TAXIS LOCATING CUSTOMERS AND SO MORE DAILY MILEAGE. LOWER RATES ALSO HELP ATTRACT LOTS MORE PASSENGERS. A REALLY SUPERB SOLUTION FOR ALL STAKEHOLDERS.GOVT MUST COPY IT.

HOW DO UBER & OLA GIVE MUCH LOWER TAXI RATES THAN OTHERS & STILL PAY DOUBLE SALARY TO DRIVERS (i.e. Rs.40-50,000 AS OPPOSED TO Rs.20,000).ONE OBVIOUS REASON IS THAT THEY CHARGE VERY LESS COMMISSION-THEY ARE ONLY AGGREGATORS.ANOTHER POSSIBLE REASON IS THAT THEIR DAILY MILEAGE MUST BE DOUBLED OR TRIPLE DUE TO FACT THAT APP ENABLES CONNECTING PASSENGERS & TAXIS. ALSO, CUSTOMERS PREFER THEM DUE TO LEAST COST, BEST & EFFICIENT SERVICE & MORE SECURITY FEATURES.SIMILAR EFFICIENT MODEL MUST BE COPIED.

Yoga Master Ramesh: In India we the people are wasting fuel unnecessarily. So we have to guide our countryman in proper way how to save fuel? 1)By using bicycle 2)Go by walk for short distance 3)Use the vehicle if it very much necessary 4)For political persons they will go by prestige(use of private helicopter,private flight etc etc) 5)Don't go for opening ceremony (for eg one state to other in separate flight with their security,assistants) Like this think before spending unnecessary fuel

Plastic bags is a major concern. People need something apart to reduce the use of plastic bags.But there should be some replaceable thing which can be used in lieu of plastic bags. Since some things in the market cannot be brought by paper bags or craft bags. So bags made of cellulose can be an outcome for the problem. The government can direct the plastic bag producing industries to make bio-degradable plastic like bags made of cellulose instead of producing plastic or polythene bags.

Why not the government minimise 100% use of petroleum and impose the use of gasoline in all forms of transportation vehicles. Since the price of pure ethanol is much less as compared to petrol so it can be a great step ahead for a sustainable livelihood with conservation of petroleum products. The government should also request the auto-mobile industries to facilitate such features in new vehicles. Also the use of biomass as fuel is also a great mark for conservation.

Polythene ban : this is also very dangerous problem arising in India, many times govt imposed such bans but nobody following these bans. People are using plastic bags openly.Please ban it completely and strictly for the sake of human existence.this is a time bomb kind of thing more dangerous than atom bomb.People are ignoring this plastic issue but this may become a risk in whole human existence one day.Please take this seriously this is a big danger for our future.
