Our Organization celebrated is 5 June 2020 as World Environment Day. This one day out of 365 is highly important to spread awareness about the environment. It’s a day to shake up everybody around you to wake up and prioritise the environment over other trivial issues.
Saving a little tap water or switching off the electricity or planting a sapling are all great ideas, but it should be done every day, wherever you go and not momentarily. And if you do plant a sapling, make sure to maintain it for a few years till can grow by itself, or it may die within a few days.
Some parents are truly eco conscious and have always taken the extra effort to make sure their children are well-educated about the environment. Making the right decisions ensures a future worth living in. The wrong decisions have negative implications for children and everybody else around, including the flora and fauna.
Another great idea is to set up an environmental and make your children part of its activities, which can be relate to their interest. This is a long-lasting gift, where their skills can be channelised in an ecologically conscious manner through their work. Kids can really make a difference by educating their family and friends; soon, they will start to make lots of positive change in their local areas. Protecting the environment is not a selfish act and is helpful for the entire society and beyond.
Children who are not connected with nature will not fight to save it. The best activity for parents and children is to spend time in nature, closely observe the flora and fauna, use their senses to experience the natural environment. Parents are the best role models for kids. Children look for lifestyle examples from their parents, so if you are segregating waste, not using disposable plastics, planting and taking care of trees, helping animals, then these excellent qualities will carry on in your children’s life.
Right now, millions of children worldwide, including many cities in world, are protesting against climate change. They are trying very hard to get their message heard by the leaders to focus on protecting the environment and not the corporates.
