If the greenhouse emission that this generation produce will increase, climate change will become worse every day until there will be no planet left for the next generation to live on. This is why, educating children on endangered species is very important. Children should already be taught how important it is to lessen the carbon footprints or the greenhouse emissions. The children are the future of the world and no one else will save it but them. This is why they should be thought how important it is to recycle. They should also be educated on developing renewable energy.
They should be educated on how to conserve energy, reduce waste production and save the natural resources of the planet. They should be aware of these things so that in their own little ways, they can already save the planet.
Even in little ways they can already start saving the planets by doing alternatives to some of their daily activities. Almost everything that people do in their day-to-day activities emits greenhouse gas, produce carbon dioxide and consume energy. Almost all appliances and technologies that people use also do the same, from the refrigerators, transportations to other technologies that make life easier. These things emit substances to the atmosphere.
The atmosphere is responsible for the maintenance of the Earth’s temperature. The greenhouse gas emissions caused by humans may exceed the limitations of the atmosphere and this will affect the entire planet. It is already evident in the climate change that is going on in the planet now.
Climate change can still be avoided with a ten decade window, according to James Hansen, NASA’s top climate scientist. He said if this no action will be done to prevent this then, the world as we know it will be gone.
Discussions have been conducted in global climate summits, but they have not reached an agreement and no actions have been done yet. It is not up to the leaders to save the planet though; it is the duty of the entire human race to save its habitat. And in their own simple ways, they can do something to make this world a better place to live in.
This is why everyone should participate in saving the planet, especially the children. Gaylord Nelson, former Governor of Wisconsin, launched the first Earth day on April 22 1970. This event aims to educate everyone how to save the planet and how important it is to save the planet. The youth are the major catalyst for this movement. This event will raise the awareness of the people about the “health” of the planet, and what actions must be taken to heal it or keep it healthy.
Through this movement, students are being educated in their school on carbon footprint analysis, carbon offsetting, and other green curriculum, that will teach them how to live their lives in a way that will be safe and beneficial to the planet. There are green school programs that make this kind of education available for the children. This is one big move to save the planet.
