Being Eco-Friendly, How students perceive? |

I had been involving in environmental leadership since 3 years and in these years wherever I am, whatever I am, I had been focusing on green living. With support of Tunza Eco Generation and other local organizations in Nepal, I had been actively organising Eco-program at school level with the objective of nurturing young minds, especially school kids to be eco-friendly, urge their locality to be eco-friendly and raise voice against environmental lacks. As per my experience, I had seen 2 types of children in school level. One who is well known about eco-friendly behavior and green living and follows the code of conduct. Another who is well known but disrespects the feeling of green living. And this is the psychological lack among students and it is what we are changing. Recently, as a Sub-Coordinator of Environment Friendly Local Governance Program (EFLGP) , I was in 5 schools of Chitwan for conducting orientation program on EFLGP, Climate Change and its various aspects, Green living. I was there with Coordinator Birendra Paudel, youth eco-leader Prakriti Dhakal. Altogether we conducted 9 programs in different 9 schools under this Campaign. Being frank, most of the parents in Nepal do not guide Students and when we guide them , some students doesn't response to our words . Expect few students we felt change in the habit of students after the completion of program. When our efforts combine with the "my feeling" of students as well as their parents and teacher, change is possible otherwise these all campaigns are waste of time and money. One of the students told "Most of us are well known about these eco-habits, many other organizations also organise program from time to time, but we don't follow them continuously with some exceptions." This is what we got to listen from her. So, now personally I think eco program should not only focus on environmental facts but also on motivation so, we can inspire them psychologically. We need both awareness creation and motivation from our side and implementation from students, parents and teachers side. And it is what made me to ponder, motivation along with eco-presentation is needed among students to wake up them, raise them form their thinking level and march them ahead and join with our effort of being green. Government, NGOs, INGOs spends huge sum of money for such programs and if their results aren't assessed, it is just a waste. So, let's ask being frank, let's measure the success of our program. Only Photos of the program are not efficient, we need change. Change in the behavior of students after the completion of program. We need quality programs not quantity of programs. |

Good Article bro, indeed it is what we need after completion of any program.

Amazing article brother, I too feel same. Assessment is what we need to make program success and it is one of the key things we are lacking in program. Hope for the better interaction ahead.

Sujan, I also believe a lot of student are well-informed about green activities, more than we expect. However, most of them are reluctant to follow waht they know, though the psychological reason may be different. Hope these activties that Sujan and other ambassadors do can change the minds of the students. Thanks for reporting and have a great day!

Thanks Sujan for the good work! The biggest environmental protection can only be realized when the governments around the world decide to position environmental value to where it deserves to be in their future economy plan, and the decisions to do so spread to each single country. But, that power to change can only be mustered through collective desire! In that sense I'm on the same page with you Sujan, thanks for taking time to write this!

Dear Sujan, You are right. Parents must support the Eco initiatives & there has to be a willingness in students as well. But please do not feel disheartened. Even if one student is motivated that can trigger a change. We must carry on with our efforts. Patience is a virtue.

Your observation is absolutely right and I agree. Awareness programs are good to tackle those who are unaware of environmental issues or their individual responsibility towards improving it . But such programs are not enough for 2nd type of people who are aware but are not yet psychologically moved to take action. That's why it's imperative that we conduct programs which involves them as doers , not only as listeners . Also they need to be followed/ monitored for their eco-attitude.Incentive driven programs should be there to encourage them to take action towards environment. Thanks for the report.
