Nature needs a hand - now!

It all starts with us. It’s our responsibility to make sure this world will sustain for generations to come. It’s our responsibility to keep it clean. We have not done a good job so far so it’s time for us to step up and break the pattern. We need to take responsibility for cleaning up. It starts with a change of mentality. We start at home and teach our children to recycle. And no more throwing litter on the streets or in nature. Stop polluting our planet with your fast food containers, candy wrappings and soda cans. Stop throwing things out of your window as you drive. It stops now!

It’s the small things that makes a big difference. As we become more conscious of the small polution we do and how easy we can stop and clean up the more it will spread. Start by teaching your children that it’s not ok to throw litter on the streets. Let the message spread like rings in the water. Take responsibility and clean up your local environment. Get everyone involved. It’s not hard. We just need to switch the focus. And as awareness grows we can influence more and more. Eventually we can reach politicians and business owners to step up and take responsibility. Have them think global and help us clean up this mess. It’s not enough to set limits for additional pollution. It’s too late for that. We need to take action and clean up the mess we have made on this planet. We need to clean up from the previous generations. It’s not enough to clean up after ourselves. We need to clean up after our parents and their parents. They didn’t know better but we do.

We need to give nature a hand or there will be no nature for our children.

●     Parents

○     Teach your children to clean up. It’s NOT ok to throw litter. Put your trash in the bin. Pick up if you drop something. And point out to others that it’s NOT ok to dump things.

●     Teachers, scholars and professors

○     Lead by example. Teach your students that cleaning the environment helps.

○     Arrange clean up days where you go out and clean up a piece of nature. It’s a mess out there. Nature needs a hand

●     Trainers, coaches and influencers

○     Set an example for your students, teams and followers. Bin it - don’t throw it. Pick up around you.

●     Officers of the law

○     Show it can be done. Pick up trash when you see it. Tell people it’s not ok to litter the the streets. Set an example. We all need to do our part.

●     Managers and business owners

○     Have initiatives to go green. Train your employees in recycling. Keep your green spaces litter free. Go beyond and reach out to your suppliers and ask what they are doing to avoid polluting and to clean up from the previous generations.

○     Support cleaning of the oceans, rivers and lakes. Help clean up the land.

○     Have your teams come up with ideas how your business can be greener and how you can contribute to clean up the planet. When we start local we can reach global.

●     Priests, Fathers, Ministers of the Church, Imams, Rabbis and Kohens

○     You need to tell teach that we have not followed the messages of the Lord. We need to take responsibility for the sins of our parents and clean up after them or there will be no tomorrow. We need to stop polluting ourselves and clean up the mess left to us.

●     Politicians

○     Green initiatives are not enough. Talking is not enough. We need action. Massive action. Stop trying to set limits. We need to stop polluting all together now. And start cleaning up the mess left by the previous generations. Nature needs it. We need it.

Where to focus awareness:

Education

Educational awareness is given. Schools need to help and teach the children that taking care of our Planet is a shared responsibility. It will take a generation to get there but it needs to be on the agenda for all institutions.

Governments

The ruling entities need to focus more on converting to green initiatives. Everything from tax reductions, grants for green. The options are vast. But one thing is given. More has to be done and focus needs to grow before it’s too late.

Social media initiatives:

#mcd #lovingit Take pictures of litter when people thow it on the streets/nature and post it on social with #mcd #lovingit #cleanupafteryourself. Maybe McD will realise and start doing something about the bad behaviour of their clients.

Social media initiatives will force corporational awareness

Targeting McD is important because the reach a segment of society that is hard to reach. Getting corporations involved is crucial in 4 areas:

1)    Reduce footprint - less waste, less pollution

2)    Greener production - bio-degradable packing e.g. hemp plastic bottles that degrades in 8 weeks instead of plastic that degrades in 2000 years (numbers needs verified)

3)    Easier and better disposal methods

4)    Education of their customers through in-store campaigns and as part of their marketing
