As April 22 approaches, I feel somehow a bit reluctant to acknowledge that "Earth Day" is coming... The reason is that not much people are aware of this fact! In reality, people actually ignore the importance of this particular day... saying that it is not their concern...
Children are taught in schools to REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE. Unfortunately, most of the decisions at their respective homes depend on the adults... their parents... some of whom do not even care or put an effort to follow or show a good example for their kids... These kids grow up and do the same... This is saddening, because despite the efforts of schools and the government to help in this global crisis, without the citizens cooperation, nothing will happen. All efforts to reverse climate change and pollution will be in vain...
There are a lot of things that can be done, such as simply segregating trash from biodegradable to non-biodegradable, choosing not to use plastic for grocery, and walking short distances rather than riding motorized vehicles can be big for the environment. Unfortunately, there are more people who disregard these.
Additional knowledge and a change in attitude is badly needed in this society so that change could be brought forth... Hopefully, children of tomorrow do not follow the bad examples of the adults of today, rather, they learn from the mistakes made and try to improve the environment as best as they could...
