His answer:
“Innovation 2, the sustainability education app, offers vital contributions by promoting energy-saving behaviour’s and fostering environmental awareness. While its impact may be more gradual compared to renewable energy generation, its focus on behavioural change can lead to long-term sustainability. By educating individuals and households on energy conservation practices, significantly exceeding the energy saved is (578,655 GWh/year) for 50M households. Innovation 2 lays the groundwork for a culture of environmental stewardship. Though not as immediately impactful as energy generation innovations, its role in shaping sustainable habits makes it a valuable asset in the fight against climate change.
I just remember a quote “The Earth provides enough to satisfy every person’s need, but not every person’s greed.” by Mahatma Gandhi. – It Actually emphasizes the importance of balance and its reflecting the goal of energy-saving initiatives like Innovation 2 to encourage responsible consumption.”
Congrats Yash, and may you scale greater heights.
