Education is Freedom

by Ishimwe Eric Josue | 24-01-2018 07:03 recommendations 2

What can we do for the environment? This is an amazing topic. There are typically two things I did like to discuss under this topic. The first is Education. Education is an important part of human life in any single dimension you may know or imagine. The second is Environment. Environment also is an important part of human life in dimension of healthy.  And we are going to see how these two essential things in human life can complement each other and how they are linked.


Let us start with the Environment. Coming on this concept, different issues like; hygiene, clean water, oxygen and appropriate wastes disposal are the main drivers of either good environment condition or worst one. Lack of one of them can contribute to low life expectancy in the involved community. Diseases such as cholera, malaria, Ebola and so on, have high probability to invade that community. While on the other hand, fulfillment of all the above mentioned points; contribute to high life expectancy and improve individuals' life condition. In order word, as the environment condition get improved, goes up with good life condition and wellbeing.


Education is freedom. You want to breakout bad environment condition cycle and tyrant? Education is a common tool for any kind of freedom nowadays. Mostly known is poverty cycle and tyrant but the same can be applied to the environment sector. Education is a broad concept that covers everything we see and we can even imagine. Nowadays education is taking an amazing pace. E-learning development has changed many people's lives and welfare. It is clearly proven itself. If you don't see it, ask yourself why you are now a part of this environment movement of young people from different corners of the world or why you are reading this article on your tablet, phone or laptop. This is the essential thing we can do for the environment. Promoting environment illiteracy and improving environment awareness.


We learn and then implement what we learnt; we can't implement what we didn't learn. Even those great inventors the world ever known, had starting points for their inventions. Learn more about A. Edison, a man who inverted 100+ useful things in today's world. By promoting environment based education will change the way environment is being treated. People may cut down the tree by only short benefits like carpentry. If that person could have the chance to know that, without oxygen he can't even earn that little money; he could not cut down that tree or plant another to replace the existing one; because he is aware of the risk that may result in that action and he learnt how to avoid or reduce that risk. Different organizations have taken the first step to ensure quality and environment based education. Online platforms such as https://sdgacademy.org  have started offering environment based free courses. Online environment networking platforms such as https://tunzaecogeneration.org have contributed to environment policy making and environment based researches.


By concluding, we should empower environment literacy whether online or physically by preparing people to face global environment challenges. That's what we can do for the environment which promises a long lasting and progressive improvement of the environment conditions. Otherwise we shall build something and other people destroy it in a second because of the lack of mutual benefits and common understanding.

    Hi, Eric! I totally agree with you on the importance of environmental education. Education on the environment is especially important because it is hard to grasp environmental concepts on one's own, and because some basic knowledge is required in order to follow certain systems (such as recycling) to protect our environment. I also agree that education is freedom, empowering individuals to stand up for what is right and take action. I hope that environmental education will continue to spread to all parts of the world. Thanks for your report!
