Our Child, Our Tree

A Child needs same things a tree needs..

Earth
Water
Sun
Air

Educating a child is similar to cultivating a tree. In both the cases, objective is to provide them with their needs in order to coax out the potential that they have.

Earth provides the plant with nutrients. Earth represent stability and immobility.

Water plays crucial role for plant growth. Water represent transparency and purity.

Light plays important role in brightness and correctness.

Air implies space and atmosphere.

Conclusion: Most important of all is to remember that being guardian/ gardener is a full time job. We must be consistent and persistent in tending our garden and constantly on the look out for problems that might arise and nip them in the bud before they grow out of control.

This earth day, gather with your community for an ENVIRONMENTAL & CLIMATE LITERACY.
We all know importance of an education which is foundation for progress. Being responsible citizen, we need to empower everyone with knowledge to inspire action in defense for environmental protection. We all need to understand the CONCEPT OF CLIMATE CHANGE and aware of its unprecedented threat to our planet.

Take actions:
Plant a tree or donate to plant a tree
Deforestation contributes to species extinction, poverty and is responsible for 15% of global greenhouse gas emission causing climate change. Planting trees is one the easiest and most effective ways to fight climate change.

Eat less meat
Did you know that the meat industry is responsible for approximately 20% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions? In fact, producing one calorie of meat requires nearly twenty times the amount of energy as one plant calorie!
With global meat consumption tripling over the last four decades, the meat industry now emits over 36 billion tons of greenhouse gases annually.
Let’s take pledge for eat less meat.

Stop using disposable plastic
Currently about 300 million tons of plastic are produced each year to make bags, bottles, packages, and other commodities for people all over the world. Unfortunately, only about ten percent of this plastic is properly recycled and reused. The rest ends up as waste in landfills or as litter in our natural environment, where it leaches dangerous chemicals into the nearby soil and water, endangering humans and wildlife alike.
The problem has now grown completely out of control and threatens to affect millions of people and animals if we do not act soon.

Take the Ecological Footprint Quiz
Humans are consuming natural resources at an alarming rate. For the past couple of decades we have consumed more resources annually than the Earth can replenish. Today humans consume the equivalent of 1.5 planets’ worth of resources every year and, unless something changes, we are expected to consume 2 planets’ worth of resources by 2050!
If we don’t act now to reduce this unsustainable behavior, we will cripple the planet and threaten the living conditions of future generations.
