KEEP THE ENVIRONMENT GREEN AND CLEAN
The future of our environment may be on our present generation hands to try and save it, what about the future? The children of today are the future care taker of the environment. We need to involve them at their tender ages in the conservation effort.
We are a children home in Kenya having 34 children. Last year we thought about the future environment and who was going to take care of it. We discover many programs and efforts to conserve our environment at present have little participation of children. That is why we decided to make our kids environmental conscience.
We started a club called keep the environment green and clean to concentrate with our environment. We initiated programs like having classes about the environment. organize a competition called environmental day, where the kids were divided into groups and each group was given a section to keep clean and green, and at the end of the day they wrote speeches which you can read in website and the winner was determined by how well they kept their environment green and clean and also by the content of their group speech.
This is a quote of one the kids thought about the environment, "Environment to me is all about our surrounding that we see feel and hear every day. It should be well cared for as a command from the creator of all. This is not just a corporate effort, but us all who enjoy the beauty of this mother earth. All the measures put in place to conserve the environment are useless if we don't get involved as one big family.
It is saddening when we talk of laws yet not the weakness associated with it. To me, laws are political and it will never outweigh ‘personal responsibility'. As long as we are not interested as individual, then to hell with all the laws we dare make. Nobody, need to tell me that something is wrong with our environment. Every year the rain pattern keeps changing, temperature keeps increasing, sea level keeps rising! I don't need a law to tell me this. Cop 15 in Denmark and Cop 16 in Mexico will always be failure if we keep chasing agreements."
I believe this more other ideas can be copied in any neighborhood and have the kids participate in keeping their neighborhood green and clean.
