Respected PM, Washing machines are to be used for washing purpose only but not for drying though provision is there. Use solar ray & keep the cloths dry naturally without using washing machine. From 2009 US govt permitted in their States not to use washing machines for drying purpose when their economy was in dole-drum. Further drying the washed cloths may be kept without disturbing neighbors. We will also get good results. People should be informed about excess spending of Rs10,74,600 cr .

Respected PM, Just like Swachh Bharat, excess energy usage has to be brought down. We will be celebrating "Energy Conservation Day" on 14th December every year. Our PM said on 16th Aug 2014 in Sholapur while dedicating 765 kV Sholapur-Raichoor line to take the assistance of students. Energy lesson is there for 9th class students but not a lesson on energy conservation. Since the natural resources like coal,gas,and oil etc are limitted, conservation has to be told to students.

Respected PM, I studied usage of electricity in IITs,NITs,IISc,and BITs Pilani under RTI act and put in my website,www.energyconservationworld.com six years back. Discussed with the then Member Energy,, Planning Commission also. IIT students are consuming 300 - 600 units of electricity monthly per each student, NIT students are using 100- 140 units of electricity. BITS, Pilani student usage is 72 units monthly. Excess usage of electricity in waste has to be brought down soon

Respected PM, I studied on RTI act, the usage of electricity in 2006-07 how our Govt buildings are using and developed a website, www.energyconservationworld.com after consulting a senior professor in IIT, Delhi. In head quarters buildings,NTPC employee used 48 units of electricity per month against GAIL employee at 483 units. This is more than 10 times. This should be brought down in 2nd case. Quota is to be fixed per month per employee. Co2 & electricity will be less for our country.

Respected PM, Hot water is used with gas only instead of geyser. For a domestic gas cylinder of 14.2 kg, we can make 600 buckets of hot water of 10 lts capacity. If the same gas is used power generation, we get 138 buckets hot water only. We should encourage hot water by gas only instead of electricity.Cost for bucket of hot water Rs 6 and Rs 1.50. Giving 12 gas cylinders yearly justified otherwise electricity will be used.

Respected PM, I know well that we are spending excess energy than it is required for a product manufacturing or for a service. this more than 25% yearly with reference to Denmark. For 2012, we spent 244 million ton oil equivalent ie Rs 10,74,600 cr at barrel $ 100. We have to stop manufacturing incandescent lamps and only CFLs , LEDs and T5 and T8 are made available in market. Electricity bill will be less and co2 will also be less.
