‘Climate Change is real’ they say. But is it really true? In the past, there had been innumerable reports requesting everyone to act responsibly in order to save our planet from devastation and man-made calamities, but is our home planet, our Earth, really in danger?
In order to answer this crucial question and to discuss it in detail, PUKAR invited Anand Pendharkar from SPROUTS Environment Trust to conduct an interactive session on ‘Environment’ with our young researchers. It was an honor to have him and his active team with us who conducted an engaging and enriching session on the current environmental issues. Through their fun activities and many documentary clippings including few short films, Barefoot Researchers were made aware of global warming, deforestation, excessive use of plastic and all its impact on our planet Earth. Through reflective discussions, Barefoot Researchers were asked to share and discuss innovative methods by using recycled and eco-friendly products. At the end of the day, our young researchers presented their ideas with everyone through role-plays.
“I always used to feel that our environment is vast and therefore doesn’t need our help in saving her. But after this session, I want to do my part and help our planet to survive,” said Suraj, “It is because of our man-made pollution which has created an enormous negative impact on the environment. So today I pledge that I will celebrate my festivals with eco-friendly products and will minimize my waste”
We at PUKAR really appreciate such initiative and encourage more people to stand up and act towards preserving our home, our planet, our Earth.
