I have a dream of a world filled with opportunities, wonders, and eco-friendly. A world wherei n value is placed on the things that truly matter – not money or status or fame, but on the many wonders of life, on the uniqueness of each individual and on the riches that the world has to offer. I dream of a world that puts emphasis on being environmentally friendly and that cares about the future of the world.
The most important solution in my opinion is public education and awareness. If people don’t know, then nothing will ever change. People need to be informed about the problems so that they can then be motivated to learn about what possible solutions there are and how to implement these solutions. Take energy conservation for instance.
People don’t know how much energy they are consuming, where their energy is from, or how much energy they waste. But, if they knew, if they were aware of this problem, then they may be more inclined to learn about what kinds of solutions there are to these problems. Once they know about these solutions, (like solar energy, wind turbines, etc.) then they will push to get them implemented. Change can happen, and education is the most important step.
I think that everyone should be educated on all the problems going on in the world – especially environmental ones. They should be educated on what kinds of solutions there are to these problems and what they, personally can do about it.
Another biggest and most important solution in regards to helping the environment in
politics and policymakers. It is the responsibility of all citizens to educate themselves on the policies of the parties running for leadership and to make educated votes. This is why I found the Arab Youth Climate Movement Qatar, working towards an environmentally conscious society.
The world we live in won’t change if we don’t change it. As Mahatma Gandhi once said:
“Be the change that you wish to see in the world”. Change can happen, but we need to
make it happen. My biggest dream of all is a sustainable world, that’s what we dream of.
A world in which nothing is wasted and in which everything is recycled for the next
generation. That is what we call circular. This is what we are working towards a greener
and more sustainable future.
