  Environmental awareness

You can see it, feel it, hear it, touch it, eat it and interact with it. You are surrounded by Life and Nature – you affect it and it affects you. This is your environment.

Lately, when you hear the word "environment", the word “problem” also comes to mind. The level of interest people give to the environment varies. Some practice energy conservation, some are concerned but feel that it’s too big a problem for them to be concerned about and some don’t believe that it’s important.

We talk about “Saving the Environment” – but the truth is we are really trying to save ourselves. The Earth has been around for billions of years. If we damage it or hurt it in any way, it will just cleanse and renew itself – and how the planet will do that is not going to be healthy for the living things that thrive on it.

Why is environmental awareness important to us?

Environmental awareness is essential to demonstrate how humans can protect and preserve their natural resources. Educating the population can reduce the use of plastics and water waste while promoting recycling to reduce landfill waste.
