WORD OF THE DAY: CHILDREN AS CUSTODIANS OF THE ENVIRONMENT
Imagine a group of children walking through their community.
They notice plastic scattered along the path, a tree struggling for water, a space where trees can be planted.
One child asks, “What can we do about it?”
That question is where environmental stewardship begins.
Children are not simply waiting to become tomorrow’s environmental leaders.
They can be custodians of nature today.
Through planting trees, protecting wildlife, conserving water, reducing waste and keeping their surroundings clean, children learn that even small actions can make a difference.
But children also need a seat at the table.
Let us give them the knowledge, space and confidence to participate in protecting the environment.
When children care for nature, they grow up understanding that they belong to it,
And that protecting it is our shared responsibility.
