The Moral Responsibility to Preserve, Share, and Care for Our Common Home
For every resource that we enjoy also comes responsibility. It is our moral responsibility to preserve, share, and care for our common home to obey the words of Christ. In the book of Genesis, God specifically commanded humankind to take care of both the living and the non-living creation. This command is not just a form of worship and reverence for Him but this responsibility is for our common good and humankind’s survival. Human pressure on nature has soared since the 1970s. The selfish desires of the capitalist industry and the greed for possession destroy our environment is taking its toll...

African Sistah
African Sistah, Toes in the warm sand Ankles full of charms rattling with every step Bumping a sea of people as she carries her blue surfboard She steps on a plastic bottle and sighs Picking it up and putting it in her satchel she treads on. African Sistah, Pulled by the alluring of the blue ocean She looks to the horizon and dreams She dreams of cleaner beaches and oceans But she is tormented with floating islands of plastic Turtles choking on plastic bags She shuts her eyes and erases those foul images from her head. African Sistah, She ties her dreadlocks and sets her board right Ready to...
Solar energy - Lighting up lives
Many of the people living in rural Kenya have had their electricity set up in the recent years. This is because of an initiative by the Kenyan government dubbed “The Last Mile Connectivity Project”. To say the truth, many families have benefited from this project: homes have been lit up, business and various institutions such as schools and hospitals are up and running. About 65.0% of electricity in Kenya is generated locally using renewable energy sources (hydropower 35.9%, geothermal 25.86%, cogeneration from bagasse 1.66%, wind 1.11% and solar 0.08%) while 35.386% was generated using fossil...
Together is better
You're not alone, we're here to support each other. Stop bringing down others. "Together is better" We're the same. We can do anything without having to choose from all options. The most important part of women is to come together. We're together... {Women Empowerment}
Climate change and Us
Out of the many issues that concern the earth today, I strongly believe in Climate change. Being a part of the generation Z and growing up with headlines stating “December 2012 is going to be the end of mankind”, “Melting glaciers end up in floods killing 100+ people” and “Summery Texas covered in snow”, I undoubtedly fear for my future because I personally don’t know if at all, I am actually going to have a future or not. I believe that the first reason for climate change is negligence. We don’t realise that our simple acts can make a difference, even if its connection with climate isn’t...
The New Normal and Nature
Nature's beauty is a word we have often heard, and we even glance at its beauty. But, do we know its true significance? The answer is NO. There is a lot yet to be known about nature's envision and its creativity. Even if we know a few things, we don't really take them seriously. We take it for granted. Reports say that human activities are a major cause of habitat loss. Nature is our mother. We do such cruel things to her, yet she gives us all needful. Today though we are in lockdown, or we don't go outside that much as before, the trees, the flowers, the rivers, fresh lakes, mountains...
Let Eco-friendly Habits Circle the World
There are several habits you can learn to help protect the environment. The ones depicted in this image are avoiding plastic straws, bottles, and bags, recycling glass and newspapers, donating reusable items instead of throwing them away, and riding a bike rather than taking a car.
Save Trees 🌳, Save Environment, Save Life
If you cut a tree 🌳, you kill a life If you save a tree you save a life. Trees make the environment cleaner and provide us with oxygen. In this painting I have shown that we need to start living sustainable life, decrease pollution, stop cutting trees, use 3R's and need to use sustainable technology to save our environment and our life's. We should say no to single use plastic, save water, save energy, plant more trees, and have to promote sustainable technology to have a Save Future.
I reimagine a Greener and Sustainable World
Save Animals Save Forest Plant more trees 🌱 Use 3 R's ♻️ Reduce Footprint Use Green Energy 💚 Promote Sustainable Technology Follow sustainable ways of living Save Environment Save Our Planet 🌍 Save Life and our Future "I reimagine a Greener and Sustainable World where their is less disasters, where we would grow sustainability without harming the environment and where every species on this earth can live Happily and Peacefully"
Please don't kill our future.
It's raining in summer, hot sun in the middle of monsoon. Why? Why is all this happening? Don't blame the nature, we humans did this to them.I am putting up this on the world environment day, when i'm not sure if there is a proper environment. I am an Indian and in India the temperature is rising every year. Every year it's breaking the records. If it was 30°C last year it's 33°C this year. The climate is changing, its being unpredictable. It was all predictable and safe when the exploiting monsters were calm. Industries, vehicles, burning fossils everything done for present is destroying the...
If they could speak
As the butterflies dance around the great green, the grand ballet of nature and life takes place, A kaleidoscope of colors - orange, black, white Like the balance of the world swirling across the last rays of the sun And they pirouette for all that is beautiful and warm - swaying like time and its grace Tiny feet - little black silk strings - tapping across the earth and him, Him- for all they know is goodness and a peaceful soul, Braveness shaped with a beating heart and bones, If the butterflies could sing, they would sing for him About the pines and their guardian - about the man that held...
World Ocean Day 2021
Today on the 8th of June is World Ocean Day. On this day we celebrate the beauty of the oceans and biodiverse plants and animals that inhabit the sea. At the same time, this day reminds us that it takes our effort to conserve the health and beauty of our blue planet. Interconnectedness With the ocean’s surface covering more than 70% of the planet, it becomes clear that concerns about the climate have a bearing on the ocean as well. In other words, there is a distinct interconnectedness that permeates all living organisms and ecosystems on Earth. This idea is also reflected in this year’s theme...
An Open Letter To My Generation
I am a manifestation of my dreams A ring of fire The condensation on a cold winter morning I am, my desires and hopes And secrets and epiphanies I am so much of myself, And today I wonder and I question And I share it with you I see climate change happening I see its repercussions in real-time And I wonder how long we can afford to be ignorant Till it's looking at us in the face And we can't blink without feeling its presence We need a change And we need it now Here's what I decided to do And I invite you on this with me Switch to sustainable alternatives for menstrual hygiene Sanitary napkins...
My poems are not guilty
On paper, The latitude of this poem sits in rough notebooks and geography chapters, Slipping into cold minds, Struggling to make a move, on world map. In practice, The world is now a shade card of red, And in no time, it will be brown, Or maybe white Where we all will be on the verge to be numb like extinct species, Waiting for a shift, a life generating one, “What goes around comes around" whispers in morse code another poem on a significant day, To slip into our minds, But I fear what if they slip like glaciers? Because, we chop the eco friendly quotes the very next day while throwing...
Code Red: There Once Used To Be Green
There once used to be green everywhere, Now the green has changed its attire. To a rebellious and furious orange, Nothing but a ferocious wildfire. There once used to be green everywhere, Now the green has been a victim to killings. It cried helplessly, Nothing but lofty concrete buildings. There once used to be green everywhere, Now the green has been ripped apart into a maze. Destructed mercilessly, it begged in pain, Nothing but straight cement pathways. There once used to be green everywhere, Now the green is being pitilessly strangled to death. It is urgently trying to seek a way out...
Green Dream
I have long wandered to the sea for our fate decides, who we will be where anemones once bloomed in colors vibrant, unbeknownst to me this is my green dream. I want to lay in grass as green as one first saw it I want to swim in pools deep, blue, not forgotten I want to watch the sky as big, and bright, and bold as the future waiting for me I want to have a childhood, forever now taken from me. . . . Through forests we are meant to wander for these green mazes beckon yonder to a time when trees could stand as they are when the wilderness was free The Lorax taught you, and me, a lesson: A plea...
The formation of a world saver
Hi there, Below are my thoughts and opinions on a video by the United Nations about plastic pollution on our planet. To be honest with you, the images within the video were frightening. Sea birds dying, sea related animals suffering; they were the most horrible scenes I’ve ever seen in my life. That is why I began my journey of saving the environment, which I hope to do not by myself, but encourage everyone to participate. From my research last year, more than 73% of fish in the Irish Sea contained elements of plastic. My instant thought was "Can you imagine eating a fish with a 73% chance...
