In an innovative effort to reduce air pollution and encourage environmental preservation, the Punjab government has started the Green Credit Program, providing financial rewards to residents who report cars emitting excessive black smoke.
Participants who successfully report ten smoke-filled vehicles will be given One Green Credit, worth Rs10,000, under this programme.
The ability to redeem these credits for climate-positive activities encourages people to take part in environmental preservation.
Authorities in Punjab claim that the program's goal is to "reduce the harmful effects of smog, which causes serious health problems for thousands of children every year."
The Green Credit Program is "not just about cleaner air but also about ensuring a healthier future for the next generation," officials stressed.
Citizens can take part in this campaign by creating an account on the Punjab Green Credit Program (PGCP) website.
The programme seeks to reduce air pollution and encourage sustainable practices by providing incentives for citizens to report polluting vehicles.
This programme is one of the most effective environmental initiatives in the nation, according to the Punjab government.
The Green Credit Program is poised to significantly reduce air pollution and promote environmental protection in Punjab thanks to its creative approach.
