Saving the planet has become a priority for all sentient humans as environmental degradation is rapidly accelerating due to the population explosion, rampant industrial pollution, and unrestrained greed.

However, the captains of industry seem to be totally unconcerned about environmental protection as they count their mega-profits at banks that have just been bailed out by their government cronies, who are nominally running the major powers of the Western world.
The pace at which forests are being cut down and water is being polluted and wasted along with the alarming number of cars being produced and the amount of energy consumed globally, which are sources of the carbon dioxide emissions that are driving global warming, are threatening the very existence of human beings, especially in the Global South.
To increase their already obscene profits, industrialists employ the most effective marketing strategies to sell their products, some of which are causing irreversible environmental destruction.
On top of all this, a culture of wastefulness and reckless abandon has been insidiously promoted and has even been turned into a value. It is no secret that in many parts of the world, the people doing more damage to the environment enjoy a higher status in society and a higher standard of living. For example, if you drive a car to work, you are regarded as more respectable than those who take the bus.
However, a positive trend in opposition to this madness has made a certain segment of the human race, especially the younger generation, more sensitive and more aware of the repercussions of mindless exploitation of the Earth.
Global warming, extinctions of species on an unprecedented scale, extensive pollution of the ecosystem, which is even causing mutations, the population explosion, desertification, which has led to a significant loss of arable land and contributed to global food shortages and the increase in hunger, and a host of other environmental problems are threatening the ecosystem of our home planet and our survival as a species.
Do we want our planet to die? Do we want the human race to become extinct?
If something is not done soon, the global economic meltdown will pale in comparison to the global ecosystem meltdown.
The United Nations should encourage all its member states to establish ecology courses in schools.
And everyone should be encouraged to change their lifestyles to save the planet.
We teach our children mathematics and other subjects in school, so why shouldn’t we teach them to revere nature and teach them that they are the guardians of all living things on Earth?
