World Earth Day is
celebrated every year as an annual event by the people all across the world on
22nd of April in order to increase the awareness among people about
the environment safety as well as to demonstrate the environmental protection
measures. First time, the world earth day was celebrated in our school.
International Mother Earth Day
provides an opportunity to raise public awareness around the world to the
challenges regarding the well-being of the planet and all the life it supports.
International Mother Earth
Day is celebrated to remind each of us that the Earth and its ecosystems
provide us with life and food. Whenever I enter
to the environmental science class to educate them, the first thing that I tell
is, ‘Our planet is ill and reaching critical condition. We individual are
engaged in matricide!’
Chief
Seattle’s wisdom comes to us in the phrase “The Earth doesn’t belong to us. We
belong to the Earth.” The Earth provides us
with all we need to exist and asks for nothing in return. We have taken
advantage of this and exploited her for profit. The abuse and destruction of
the earth has increased to the point where we have not only poisoned the earth
and it’s creatures, but also ourselves. We are all part of the environment and
what we do to the environment; we also do to ourselves, as well as to our
future generations.
Each
being on Earth depends on clean water, clean air, and healthy topsoil. It’s
time to realize that our most threatening enemy is our ignorance.
This year I sense myself
fortunate, as I have given an opportunity to be an environmental science focal
person, nature club coordinator and also I am coordinating the SUPW for class
PP, II and IV. So, that we collaboratively visualize the situation of our
mother earth. So, on particular day I
thought of involving whole school at least a day to participate and appreciate
what our mother earth is doing for us, but I couldn't. However my environmental science students and nature club members remained dynamic to
initiate the program by them and we did the following activities:
Our earth day started with the display of banner, speech by Kezang Tempa(Captain:Nature club), adoption of flower pot,
then whole day junk food was prohibited. We also performed outdoor activities
related to the earth safety like new trees plantation (planted charinuma and
roses) , picking up roadside waste materials, recycling of wastes, energy
conservation and so many.
Starting form, 22nd of
April, school management made a set of laws that no
student are allowed to eat junk food!
When it comes to girl’s hostel, it’s strictly prohibited. They are not
allowed to carry junk food in hostel; I don’t mean that they cannot consume at
all. They can have in cafeteria, dump wrappers in proper place, that’s
environmental friendly, but girls are junckholics and wild too…. More waste comes from junk food, thts my observation... I also stopped burning the waste, instead I borrowed sacks from kitchen and I asked girls to segregate the waste and put it inside the sack so that we can recycle it. “Earth Day should encourage us to reflect on what we are doing to make our planet a more sustainable and livable place.” – Scott Peters. We find the courage to initiate the changes we wish to see in the world, the wisdom to carry them out wisely and the heart to love with generosity and compassion. May we recognize that we are falling apart so we can come together, and respect each other.
It also recognizes a collective responsibility, to promote harmony with nature and the Earth to achieve a just balance among the economic, social and environmental needs of present and future generations of humanity.
