THEME: “DEVELOPING NEW FRONTIERS FOR SUSTAINABLE FUTURE”
In the quest of developing new Frontiers for environmental sanity via sustainable practices.
Avant-Integrity Humanitarian Initiatives (AIHI) celebrate all children across the nations on this year Celebration of Children’s Day.
As they are recognised as the evolving user of the Environment.
(AIHI) is committed to harnessing the environmental values for the sustenance of our future generation, without jeopardizing the present generation needs.
We advocate for enhanced awareness for the children, while more knowledge is imparted into them via skills, education, motivation, amidst others.
On this auspicious day, AIHI encouraged All children across the globe to embrace Environmental Education, so that they can understand the values and potentials of the environment. This will enable them to ensure that present generations can meet their needs without compromising the resources of the coming generation.
They should endeavour to adopt all the necessary approaches to environmental education.
Which are Education about the environment, Education in the Environment, Education for the environment.
Education about the environment focuses on knowledge indoctrination and acquisition, as well as the skills to solve environmental problems. It inclines towards scientific knowledge and technological advancement in solving environmental problems.
Education in the environment is about utilizing the outdoor environment as the place for learning. Being a resource highly familiarized and relevant for education purpose placing oneself in the environment, especially in the nature, would establish a person’s awareness and concern for the environment along with the sense of place. This approach is centred around personal experience and implemented via outdoor education.
Education for the environment emphasizes the establishment of sense of responsibility among the public for solving the world’s environmental and development problems. This is an action-oriented approach, prioritized the cultivation of pro-environmental behaviour. This approach focuses on the empowerment of children in society, for changing the existing social power structure to deal with environmental and development issues.
TEN SIMPLE THINGS CHILDREN CAN DO TO HELP PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT.
Reduce, reuse, and recycle. Cut down on what you throw away.
Volunteer: Volunteer for cleanups in your community. You can get involved in protecting your watershed, too.
Educate: When you further your own education, you can help others understand the importance and value of our natural resources.
Conserve water: The less water you use, the less runoff and wastewater that eventually end up in the ocean.
Shop wisely. Buy less plastic and bring a reusable shopping bag.
Use long-lasting light bulbs: Energy efficient light bulbs reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Also flip the light switch off when you leave the room!
Plant a tree: Trees provide food and oxygen. They help save energy, clean the air, and help combat climate change.
Don’t send chemicals into our waterways: Choose non-toxic chemicals in the home and office.
Eat more vegetables. …
Throw away less food.
Bike more. Drive less.
Once again!
