The Civil Society for Poverty Reduction (CSPR) joins the rest of the world in commemorating this year’s Earth Day whose theme is “Invest in our planet”. Earth day provides an opportunity to creates awareness about the environment and is a call for all citizens to reflect on the state of our planet and our role in protecting it.
As CSPR we are dedicated to environmental conservation, we believe that every day presents an opportunity to give back by adopting sustainable approaches to save the planet after all, this is the only planet we have.
Nature is suffering. Oceans filling with plastic and turning more acidic. Extrema heat, wildfires and floods, have affected millions of people. This year’s theme therefore highlights the importance of investments to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels, decrease greenhouse gas emissions, and protect the environment through key stakeholders investing in renewable energy, sustainable agriculture, and other green technologies.
Investing in our planet also means investing in environmental education and awareness. Educating ourselves and others about the importance of environmental protection and sustainability can create a culture that values and prioritizes these issues.
To achieve this, we as CSPR are working to promote sustainable practices and behavior changes at the community level. We believe that by empowering people to take action, we can make a real impact at the rate in which these alternatives are adopted to promote climate action at the same time increasing resilience.
HAPPY EARTH DAY.
Save the Earth and go green
