According to the historian Thomas Berry,
“Teaching children about the natural world should be seen as one of the most
important events in their lives.” Nature has been one of the most precious gift
of God to mankind, its beauty and serenity inspires every person to become a
self-proclaimed poet or poetess. Such is the magic of nature, for kids
especially who are just exploring the “Big Bad World” nature has a soothing
effect and makes them realise that not everything is bad, God is balancing bad
with good.
Protection of this nature’s gift is a
big responsibility on every human’s shoulder; even the tiny shoulders are now
making efforts to protect Mother Nature from the cruelties of her inhabitants.
Every year Earth day is celebrated on the 22nd of April, to make an
attempt to beautify the earth and try to make it a better place to live in.
Every school is taking an effort to
inculcate in its students eco-friendly etiquettes’ because initiatives taken at
the base level will sow efforts at the top level. Environmental lessons are
being incorporated into the study curriculum to make the child aware of the
several biodiversity related harm that is occurring because of the
developmental changes that are happening in the name of revolution.
Kids are being encouraged to plant trees
in their suburbs and houses and schools, to reduce pollution, use of plastic
bags are being forbidden to be used, deforestation of nearby parks and ecology
terrain is being discouraged by student protests, construction of huge dams and
watershed projects which are posing serious threat to life and property of the
indigenous people and their co-habitants are issues that are being voiced for.
Rallies and protest marches are being held by young students to raise matters
of grave concern related to nature.
Kids are considered to be
the future of tomorrows World; by educating them about these things we should
try to make an attempt at saving whatever resources that is left with us.
Development and progress are essential aspects of every society, but in lieu of
receiving momentary benefits for oneself today, we cannot blatantly ignore the
great injustice we are doing to the giver of life and also by putting our
successive generations into the pit of deforestation and unforeseen natural
calamities that would be taking place with the recent developmental activities
that are on the rise to destroy the natural habitat around us.
