Everything will be fine!

I am 23, and here is what is happening now. The analysis of catastrophes and natural disasters on our planet shows the growth in their number and strength, which is the evidence of global changes to the historically natural processes. Moreover, these changes were caused not only by natural conditions but also by a large-scale anthropogenic activity: there is a huge growth of emissions of pollutants into the environment, and the ecosystems’ possibility to face such a load is decreasing. For example, emissions of enormous amounts of greenhouse gas, deforestation and industrial farming in the continents are causing global climate change. And the number of natural disasters caused by it in the past few years leads to significant human, material and financial losses. As a result of all ecological problems that exist nowadays the biosphere can pass the "point of no return" and unbalance the whole system. Environmental violations lead to a rise in social tensions, which is why these issues need to be addressed.

The attempts to escape an emerging ecological crisis are presented in the sustainable development program of the UN, according to which it is necessary to solve the problems of social-economic development in a balanced way, to meet the needs of present and future generations while restricting the impact on the biosphere to the ecologically permissible limit. It needs  to be implemented at all levels of social organization, including governmental decisions, international agreements, and the realization of educational programs and outreach activities.

By forming ecological literacy of the population, with the help of the project we tell people that the world is our treasure and how every single person can save our planet from the disaster

Graduation with a major in biology and chemistry (and a diploma in ecology that I did not get) present me with a right to implement these objectives. For today, there is an ecological educational project called “Eco.Cosm” that works with an informational support of the UN UNEP. We carry out lectures and seminars, organize thematic screenings and intellectual games, spread public service announcements and engage in certain areas of the practical work. 

By forming ecological literacy of the population, with the help of the project we tell people that the world is our treasure and how every single person can save our planet from the disaster. Everyday. 

Today, being a volunteer expert of UNEPCOM, I understand that it is an important step to becoming a UN goodwill Ambassador who implements environmental (and in fact not only) education and enlightenment in different regions of our beloved planet.

Everything will be fine!
