I always love being around in nature . I have grown up in a place where you wake up with the warmth sunrise and end your day with the silence of moonlight. But as I grew up the nature around me started getting distorted due to this civilization. Human have been cutting trees And constructing buildings instead. I have always felt too small to protest, I throught my voice will never be heard in this big world . When I was small my grand mother told me that it's only us who can distroy as well as save nature. This thought settled in my mind for years that we have to do something to save environment. eco generation has been a boon to me. I got a chance to spread awareness. I am no longer that lone voice in a crowd. I am someone the one who loves the environment and will do any thing to protect it. And best part is I am not alone there are so many people around me that has the same concern and eco gen helped me to know them. Thank you eco gen to inspire me to work harder to save our lovely nature

I learned a lot in my experience with people from Greenpeace especially when we talked about renewable energy alternatives. They also showcased some innovative and creative sustainable gadgets. Renewable energy in this generation could not only be seen in solar panels and wind turbines anymore. Innovation and creativity made these portable to humans, like travel bags, flashlights and etc. If the 18th century was a coal-based industrial period, Let's call this century, the "Solar Regeneration". It was such a remarkable experience. I thank them for the warm accommodation, friendship and filling more sustainable information in my green brain. I have a lot of stories to tell back to my school.

please don't cut the trees and save forest. Don't discharge polluted water directly into the land. Please retreat and save the environment and ground water. Water , pure water is my pledge.

Climate change and gender is concerned with gender differences in the context of climate change and the complex and intersecting power relations arising from it.By altering the ecosystems of the planet, climate change, and more specifically global warming, directly impacts the human race. These effects vary for different segments of the population, specifically for people of different genders.In many cases, women are more vulnerable to the negative effects of climate change because of their lower social status in most countries. Many impoverished women, especially those in the developing world, are farmers and depend on the natural environment for subsistence and income. By further limiting their already constrained access to physical, social, political, and fiscal resources, climate change often burdens women more than men. According to the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment, climate change is likely to become the dominant driver for the loss of biodiversity by the end of the century. Biodiversity plays an in important role in climate change adaptation and mitigation. For example, in contexts where deforestation is responsible for an average of 20% of human-induced carbon dioxide emissions, the conservation of natural habitats can reduce the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere.6 Additionally, the conservation of mangroves and drought-resistant crops can reduce the impacts of climate change such as flooding and famine. The majority of the biodiversity decline has a disproportionate impact primarily on poor people in developing countries. To give a few examples, declining fish populations have major implications for artisanal fishers and communities that depend on fish. Moreover, in many parts of the world, deforestation has meant that wood - the most widely used solid fuel - is located further away from the places where people live. In poor communities in most developing countries, women and girls are responsible for collecting traditional fuels, a physically draining task that can take from 2 to 20 or more hours per week. As a result, women have less time to fulfil their domestic responsibilities, earn money, engage in politics or other public activities, learn to read or acquire other skills, or simply rest. Girls are sometimes kept home from school to help gather fuel, perpetuating the cycle of disempowerment. Moreover, when environmental degradation forces them to search farther afield for resources, women and girls become more vulnerable to injuries from carrying heavy loads long distances,9 and also face increased risk of sexual harassment and assault.

Did you know that the Micronesian islands is being greatly affected by climate change and sea level rise? Climate change has brought more natural disasters such as typhoons to the islands in Micronesia. Sea level rise has increased soil salinization which increases the amount of salt in the arable land. It also affects the islands with low elevation. It is said that in about 20 years, some of the islands will be submerged in water. I ask that you please help me fix this problem before my home becomes immersed in water.
