Speaking at a cabinet meeting on Sunday, Pezeshkian stressed
the need to embed a culture of saving resources in everyday life, saying
conservation should be practiced across all aspects of society, according to
the presidential office’s website, as reported by Shana.
The government is working to improve the management of
gasoline, diesel, electricity, natural gas and water consumption, Pezeshkian
said, adding that cooperation from state broadcaster IRIB was essential to
achieving the desired results nationwide.
He also urged government agencies to apply energy-saving
measures within their own operations.
Pezeshkian called for preparations to introduce a “Car-Free
Tuesdays” initiative in a supportive and voluntary manner, encouraging
public-sector employees to refrain from using their personal vehicles on
Tuesdays.
The initiative is intended to promote public participation
in conservation efforts as the government seeks to improve energy efficiency
across the country.
