Living in the 21st
century has made humans a lot more socially connected especially through the
platform as this i.e. Facebook. With
this the sooner one realizes the responsibility one is bestowed with this
medium the better. Taking this opportunity Ice
Earth has taken upon its shoulders to
transmit “Transcultural Ecolitercy” through this platform as it is the international
need as highlighted by the United Nations and all its 193 members.
As for
India my home country I would like to inform you that Environmental Education
has become a compulsory subject that is being taught right up to the 12th
standard and passing in the board exams has become mandatory or else one would
fail the boards. As for the University level, Social Awareness Programmes is
mandatory to be carried out by the students.
At the
level of SAARC with my experience of having studied at a school in which there
were students from most of the SAARC nations, the message of “Transcultural
Ecoliteracy” was well engraved in each of them as we all studied Environmental
Education as a compulsory subject and realized to apply from the learnings how
well can we do our bit for a better future for all.
Having
realized the importance of “Transcultural Ecoliteracy” and promoting it in your
own respective country through any medium, nothing would be of a greater
service to Mother Earth to make her children aware of the need of the hour to
promote Transcultural (extending through all human cultures) Ecoliteracy
(ability to understand the natural systems that make life on Earth possible).
In the words
of Ritchie Rohan (Stiftare-Ice Earth)-“Don’t
wait for the snow to fall. Create a mountain so high the beauty lasts forever.”
I couldn’t agree more with him and hope through the medium of Ice Earth we can all make our planet a
better place to live.
