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...

Just the thought of the sun rising afresh the next day gives me hope and excitement about what the future holds....

I hear a whisper in the wind. I walk over stifled growth on once fertile ground. We live in a dilapidated home begging its inhabitants to acknowledge the value of its treasures, patiently suffering and waiting for change. Oh, how we ignore the mo...

The challenge before us today is to begin to think about sustainability through the lens of environmental health. The environment is a primary concern, not an afterthought. No human technology can fully replace “nature’s technology,” perfected...

Every form of living being teaches us a way to love life, with its difficulties and affinities. They show us the result of millions of years of solving problems. Everything is already solved, our architectures, designs and psychologies need to lo...

Drought, scorched land, cracked soil, withered trees – these are nature’s urgent warning signs. The sky is choked with black smoke; thick gases from factory chimneys block out the sunlight. All around, there is no trace of life: green fields have...

“When we Ask Nature, first we quiet our human cleverness. Then we ask, and then we listen. The answer is the echo that bounces off of the land herself. With the solution in hand, we always end the circle by saying thank you.” – Janine Benyus T...

Intelligence is not worth anything when you do not use it....

The fragile balance of our planet’s climate depends on many factors. Reckless, thoughtless human actions negatively impact environmental health and weaken its resilience – much like a game of Jenga. As we remove pieces from the tower, we destroy...

My ancestors have taught me that we are supposed to be custodians of all life on Earth. This means that we should not just plant trees and keep the environment clean where we can, but we should take the extra step to ensure that the rights of every s...

No matter how much money polluting industries have made, when wildfires consume the last forest, when the last city is flooded, when we are unable to produce any food and are severely dehydrated because of the extremely high heat and no water to drin...

Puhon translates to “someday” or “in God’s time” in Bisaya, a language from the Philippines. This special expression brings hope and positivity, a glimpse of the possibilities of all that seem impossible, and the limitless dreams of young c...

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...

Everyone can contribute: by choosing public transport, cycling, and walking. City authorities must develop alternative energy sources, strengthen environmental regulations, and expand green spaces. Clean air is a necessity – not a luxury....

Life close to nature has taught me to walk slowly. Humans are the only beings on this planet who wear a watch. There is no one who can rush the flowers, nor the rain. While the technology exists to do so, this only satisfies the times of humans, not...

I learned that the songs of birds, the wood that we use for making fire, the water that we drink, and the food that we eat are some of the things that can’t be replicated in this world. With this awareness, I have realized the importance of taking...

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...
