Masoud Pezeshkian on Sunday (October 18) emphasized the importance of environmental protection as one of the fundamental pillars of sustainable development during a government meeting. He stated that environmental considerations must be taken into account in all sectors, including urban management, roads and housing, agriculture, water resources, industry, and electricity supply in the decision-making process. Today's decisions have a direct impact on the quality of life for both the present and future generations.
The Necessity of Implementing the Car-Free Tuesdays Plan
Pezeshkian stressed the implementation of the Car-Free Tuesdays plan and added that all executive bodies and government public relations must take effective measures in planning and informing to promote the culture of this plan.

The Connection Between Resource Savings and Improving Household Livelihoods
The President also referred to the necessity of linking the reform of the resource distribution system with the improvement of household livelihoods and ordered that all resources obtained from savings in organizing fuel distribution and the flour and bread distribution system be allocated to increasing the credit of people's ration cards. Pezeshkian noted that the benefits gained from reforming processes and preventing resource wastage should ultimately return to the people and help strengthen household purchasing power and support public livelihoods.
In this meeting, a report was presented on the results of corrective actions and ongoing programs aimed at increasing efficiency, reducing resource wastage, and improving the fuel distribution system. These actions are aimed at optimizing fuel consumption and better managing energy resources, which can have many positive impacts on the environment and the quality of life for citizens.
