Overfishing endangers food webs and ocean ecosystems by disrupting the balance of all sea life. How to fix it? Change our fishing method by catching fish with large populations. Today's version of large-scale agriculture drives deforestation that wor...

To change the world for a better planet we must change ourselves - our own behaviors, thoughts, and ways of being. And this can only be achieved through environmental education. We need to mentor the next generation by equipping them with ecological...

From Nature you can learn to feel the pulse of life in your being, in your body. You can remember and learn how to come into the sacred dance of creation that is happening all around you, you can learn to play your own instrument in the great...

We need to learn how to change and progress in modern ways without being confined to Western standards. In this way, we may let our Earth breathe again...

Nature taught me about cooperation or gotong royong. Plants are related to each other and complement each other to create a balanced ecosystem. Sometimes a plant's life depends on other plants, such as the endangered Rafflesia flower. Rafflesia flowe...

"Berat sama dipikul, ringan sama dijinjing" means working together through tough and easy times. The obligation to preserve the environment is not only the responsibility of one or two people, but is a shared responsibility of everyone because we liv...

We should view climate education as important as any other studies such as medicine or law. In climate education, we, the young generation, are not just bound to study the science behind climate change. Instead, we should see climate education as the...

We study history to learn and understand our past. We must learn about climate crisis, too, for us to understand what will happen in the future if we don’t act now....

Education is more than knowledge – it is empowerment. Climate change education (CCE) equips young people with the skills, values, and mindsets to become changemakers in their communities. Yet CCE remains under-prioritised in national strategies, bu...

We are guests on this planet. We come, live for several decades, and then leave. We are supposed to leave the things the way they are for our next generation. We can enjoy and revel in this beauty but we are not supposed to change and destroy it....

Nature has been able to work out creative solutions to support all forms of life on earth. By observing and studying these life forms — their behavior, movement, form, adaptability, and so on — humans can develop new technologies or optimize exis...

Humans can be arrogant and selfish. Sometimes, they refuse to do even what’s in their own best interest. Of course, human intelligence may surpass that of any other living being – but it’s essential for every creature – human, animal, or plan...

I find hope and resilience in drawing doodles, digital characters, flowers, and cartoons. Almost everytime when I face an uncertain future, I turn to doodling....

Humans often think in an anthropocentric way considering only what is best for an individual human, in a given moment. We build over environments and corral animals to suit our needs. This has led us to the brink of planetary disaster. The future...

Remember that development is unnecessary evil. It may make my life luxurious and easy, but it should not jeopardise my basic right of a blue sky, clean air, water and soil. I do not want to be pumped with chemicals and energy shots for food and gaspi...

Stop protecting and sheltering youth from the climate crisis reality. It is not doom and gloom, but hopeful participation, determination, and imagination that drive the involvement of youth in climate action. It is time to include youth in the de...

Our ancestors had the hands of green. Our lands have always been arable. Let us continue to cultivate and live sustainably in the years to come!...

Technology can help – not harm. There used to be more clean rivers, fresh air, and green forests disappearing, the air is more polluted, and trees are being cut down. Some say it’s too late to change anything – but that’s not true. The future...
