The Importance of Environmental Education for Young Children

Gone are the days when environmental education was confined to textbooks and dreary lectures. Today, we understand the significance of instilling a love for nature and sustainability in young minds from an early age. The key lies in engaging children through innovative methods such as environmental books and picture books that introduce nature issues in a fun and accessible way. In this blog article, we will explore why environmental education plays a vital role in shaping the future of our planet, particularly for children aged 4 to 8 years old.

In a world increasingly impacted by environmental challenges, nurturing a sense of environmental responsibility in our children has never been more crucial. Parents play a pivotal role in shaping their children's understanding of the planet and their place within it.

By integrating environmental education into everyday life, parents can instill a deep appreciation for nature and sustainable practices. Engage in eco-friendly activities together, like gardening, recycling, or exploring local wildlife. Encourage open discussions about climate change, pollution, and conservation, fostering critical thinking and empathy.

Model eco-conscious behavior by making sustainable choices as a family, whether it's reducing plastic use or conserving energy. Highlight the interconnectedness of all living things and the impact of our actions on the environment. Empower your children to become advocates for positive change, igniting a passion that transcends generations.

By nurturing a strong foundation of environmental awareness, parents can equip their children with the tools to become compassionate stewards of the planet. Remember, the lessons taught at home echo through time. So, let’s talk about 5 advantages of environmental education:

1. Building Empathy for the Environment:

Children are naturally curious, and through environmental education, we can channel their curiosity towards understanding and respecting the natural world. Picture books and environmental books provide a window into the wonders of nature, inspiring children to develop a sense of empathy towards the environment and all its inhabitants.

2. Encouraging Critical Thinking:

By introducing nature issues in a fun and interactive manner, children are encouraged to think critically about the impact of human actions on the environment. Picture books and environmental books present complex concepts in a simplified way, fostering a foundation for later discussions on sustainable practices and environmental responsibility.

3. Nurturing a Connection with Nature:

In today's digital era, it has become crucial to expose children to the beauty of the great outdoors. Environmental education acts as a catalyst, drawing children away from screens and fostering a connection with the natural world. Picture books and environmental books can transport children into vibrant ecosystems, creating a desire to explore and protect our planet.

4. Developing Empowerment and Activism:

Environmental education empowers young children by showing them that even small actions can make a significant difference. By introducing them to environmental issues through engaging literature, we ignite their passion to become environmental stewards and activists. Through environmental books, children learn that they have a voice and can take actions to protect the Earth they love.

5. A Multidisciplinary Approach:

Environmental education is not limited to science alone. By incorporating elements of art, storytelling, and imaginative play, picture books and environmental books offer a multidisciplinary approach. This approach broadens children's understanding of environmental issues, making the learning experience more gratifying and impactful.

Human to animal conflict starting the moment humans began to destroy their natural habitats and claiming it as their own property to build on.

The Mystery of 7Saachi

 Anonymous artist who goes by the name of 7Saachi is giving away free original paintings. The paintings all include a technology that allows 7Saachi to say more from within his art. The catch is, you have to find these paintings. 7Saachi put NFC Tags around Los Angeles, New York, and even Armenia and Cypress (a tiny island by Greece) according to some. According to very limited sources, the technology 7Saachi uses in his art include QR Codes (Quick Response Codes) NFC (Near Field Communication) and AR (Augmented Reality). He is said to be a pioneer in using this type of technology to bridge the gap between his art and the digital world. Some social media users (TikTok) reported finding a sticker tag that read “Tap Phone Here for Good Luck” and had 7Saachi written on it. Upon tapping the phone to the sticker, a pre generated email opened up with the location the tag was found and instructions on how to claim the original art work. The user followed the steps and 3 days later an original 7Saachi artwork showed up at her doorstep. I don’t know about you, but I will be keeping my eye for these tags since he is said to be in the New York area as well.

African Women call for Immediate Female-led dialogue to Promote Peace in the Horn of Africa

For Immediate Release

December 17, 2020 -- African women are calling on the African Union, IGAD and the international community to set up a female peacekeeping force to promote peace in the Horn of Africa. The appeal issued on December 14 is signed, among others, by Julia Cassell, the former Minister of Gender from Liberia. It urges African leaders to create the conditions for peace on the ground.

Cassell is joined by nearly 120 women -- including entrepreneurs, teachers, humanitarian aid workers, scholars, civil servants, mothers and community workers, and health workers and from 20 countries across the African continent: Ethiopia, Eritrea, Sudan, South Sudan, Somalia, Libya, Tunisia, Morocco, Benin, Niger, Ghana, Nigeria, DR Congo, Uganda, Kenya, Rwanda, Cameroon, Tanzania, Zimbabwe and South Africa.

War broke out on November 4 in the Northern region of Ethiopia involving Eritrea and the Federal Ethiopian troops in a military conflict that risks spilling over to Somalia, Sudan, South Sudan and Kenya. The President of the African Union, Cyril Ramaphosa, appointed three special envoys to mediate in the conflict. Unfortunately, the envoys have not been able to meet with the parties involved and no mediation has happened.

“In Liberia we know the pain women suffer from military conflict. Our sons, husbands and fathers were forced to join the fighting. Not knowing whether they are dead or alive, there is obviously only one way forward: fighting must stop," states Cassell. "Let us recall that a female peace-keeping force in Liberia helped end the fighting, and for women and their families to return to a peaceful life. We found that female peacekeepers on the ground were very effective.”

At least one of the six million people in the Horn region have been internally displaced and are still without food or support. Four camps with 100,000 refugees have been targeted by the fighting and refugees are desperately trying to find a safe place. 50,000 refugees have reached Sudan, many of whom are young children without their families. Numerous other refugees are not able to reach Sudan safely. Whilst leaders in the region have tried to reassure African leaders that the situation is under control, the women in the region are losing hope as their loved ones are not coming home, communication is not restored, and mobilisation for military purposes is ongoing. A humanitarian corridor has not been established and 2 million people have no access to food.

The African Women’s appeal urges African leaders and the international community to act to protect civilians, refugees and Internally Displaced People.

A female peacekeeping mission for the Horn of Africa will ensure that a humanitarian corridor is established, food gets in and peace can be restored so that mediation can begin. Women need to come forward as role models. Hate-speech and ethnic profiling needs to end. It is time for women to take the lead.

Female peacekeepers from Ghana, Nigeria, South Africa, Burundi, Niger and other African countries have proved to be role models. In 2016, the all-Female Formed Police Unit from India was commended for their excellent contributions to the success of the mission in Liberia as it was completed.
