Nagpur: Responding to the call of the Minister of Environment of the State Environment for the contribution of young people in combating climate change, more than 100 young people have come together on Friday for agitation on unsustainable development that leads to the destruction of green cover.
The energy was at its peak on Friday morning at the Ajni Vann, fertile green mini forests where more than 40,000 trees faced ax from the inter-capital station multi-capital project (IMS).
Holding banners and placards with bold messages regarding environmental conservation, children participated in the global climate strike called by Delhi-based youth organizations for the Indian climate.
Global climate strikes are Friday follow-up for future movements started by Swedish Climate Activists Greta Thunberg.
The main goal is to attract the attention of policy makers to save the ancient trees at the Ajni Vann.
Even though his protest was silent, the message was hard and clear – save the tree at the Ajni Vann and slide the project in Khapri.
Creating the Chipko movement, the children also conducted a ‘tree’ campaign for about 30 minutes to express the importance of old trees.
“Recently, the World Health Organization (WHO) has also released reports that underlined the importance of natural protection and harmful effects of pollutants in the air.
Urban forest trees such as Ajni-Vann are city lungs that help clean this toxic air.
The young towns of the city have vowed to continue this fight and raise the bar until their voices were heard everywhere.
We have not inherited this earth from our ancestors, “said Environmental Activist Kunal Mourya.
A day ago, Minister of Environment Minister Aaditya Thackeray announced that policy makers must get acquainted with young people.
“There is a lot of awareness about climate change because they see it around us.
Seeing erratic weather events causing damage, youth has begun to gather together and talk about climate change, become protests or even actions in many ways.
It is very important for us that the people Young has a good standard of living.
They also realize that climate change can cause a lot of economic and social damage too, “said Minister.
Said that the local administration and politician must pay attention to the appeal of Thackeray, Shreyas Pande’s young activist who is also part of the Save Aarey campaign in Mumbai, “our politicians need to listen to the demand for citizens and the concerns of experts.
Instead of causing relentless destruction, the decision must be made after considering All aspects.
