How Would I Leave the Planet for Future Generations

 How Would I Leave the Planet for Future Generations

The United Nations General Assembly has earmarked April 22nd as International Mother Earth Day through a resolution adopted in 2009.

The theme for International Mother Earth Day, 2025, is ‘Our Power, Our Planet,’ encouraging global action towards renewable energy and tripling clean electricity generation by 2030. 

 There is a precious thread that binds humans across time and generations. Thus, as we remain so intertwined, it is our duty and responsibility to protect and preserve this magnificent planet for the generations to come.

 

Preserve the Planet

Preserving the beauty and magnificence of the planet for our children and generations to come is a responsibility we must take seriously. Embracing sustainable practices like reducing waste by practicing ‘reduce, recycle, renew,’ conserving water and forests, supporting local businesses, and minimizing the use of plastic will help in safeguarding our planet.

 

The challenge of climate change

Deforestation, greenhouse gas emissions, and pollution are bringing about climate change, the effects of which are being widely felt across the globe. We would do well to refrain from these activities and those that cause climate change, thereby leaving a planet where our children can enjoy fresh air, pure water, and a stable climate.

 

Protecting Biodiversity

The planet's biodiversity is being eroded by the constant destruction of habitat, overexploitation, and species extinction. The destruction of biodiversity reduces the planet’s natural wealth and jeopardizes the ecosystem.

 

The education and empowerment factor

Let us seek to educate and empower our youth with knowledge and skills that will help them preserve the planet help them take on challenges in life while being environmentally conscious. Environmental education can be promoted through outdoor learning and integration into the school curricula.

 

Reduce inequality

We must seek to reduce social inequality and ensure that every child has the right to necessities like food, water and healthcare.

 

Global cooperation

Environmental challenges affect and extend to the entire planet, and therefore, the global community must come together to tackle these challenges and leave the world a better place.

 

Our children are the future, and it is required that we make a positive impact on them for them to contribute positively to sustaining and preserving the planet.
