Reimagine. Recreate. Restore.
Slogans and tag lines like these are fine.
But what can an individual do?
Can institutions like a university help?
What can corporates do?
Restore what? Restore the environment. Restore the forests, lakes, ponds, parks, rivers, wastelands, habitat for wildlife and birds. In short, restore the life for future generations!
Another World Environment Day has come and gone. Above three words constituted the theme of this year's World Environment Day 2021. It marks the beginning of the United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration.Let us look at each of the three theme words.
Reimagine: How can we restore the environment around us which we as mankind have polluted and degraded? We have to imagine newer ways of doing it. Few suggestions are listed below:
- Solar charging of devices in parked cars and two wheelers
- Wind driven pencil sharpeners for school children. More than just fun. Perhaps they can construct it as part of their science lab!
- Tree plantation in a remote site by a visitor. The company nurtures the plant on behalf of the visitor. Being done by an L&T group company in India.
- 'One child one tree' program. Recognise best nurtured saplings after a year at a global level.
- Solar powered school bags and juicers are already a reality. See the pictures from India and Africa.
