What practices do we put in place right now to protect ourselves in the future? In an unpredictable world, you’ll want to make sure sustainability is high on the list and companies and governments need to step up. Besides them, every one of us must become more aware of the environment. Knowing the basics of being environmentally friendly and a “green” lifestyle is the best way to help care for the natural world.
Is best to teach children early good “going green” practices, as they will be more likely that they will continue those habits and even pass them along to their friends and late in life, to their own kids. Also, children are the most vulnerable in case of a disaster. It’s our responsibility to invest more time in developing the youth and teach them about the environment and how our actions have a direct impact on our world.
The process of teaching “green best practices” and developing ecological awareness is long and it may change in the future, but younger generations need to interact with the movement and learn bit by bit how to improve; either in the field of waste management, pollution, or simple energy efficiency best practices.
Projects like BLUE-GREENWAY are actively trying to address existing pollution, freshwater & wastewater management problems. Knowledge-sharing on the use of geoengineering materials will result in remediation of ecosystems and achievement of “BLUE” waters. It’s important to share these initiatives in an easy-to-understand form for children, as they will have to continue to protect the environment.
The development of ecological awareness and an appreciation for the value of nature for humans is a long and dynamic process. The process evolves along with human development and is influenced by present-day personality traits, hobbies, and social contexts. Given that their minds are still unconstrained by social and cultural conditioning, it is crucial to teach environmental awareness and sensitivity to kids as early as feasible. Early childhood is a critical period for educating folks about the environment, by imparting to them a universally acceptable pattern of behavior toward nature. The following stage in the development of ecological awareness is founded on detailed knowledge of nature acquired via teaching.
