UNLESS– Nature & Sustainability Education Series
Conscious Change requires Awareness
We need education to understand the how and why of the challenges being faced by our world today. Our planet has already crossed multiple tipping points of planetary health and there are enough evidences indicating that human activities are responsible for the climate crisis. The discussion and work around the environment and climate crisis cannot be confined to a handful of people, it has to become a mass movement by raising awareness of all. At Paper Ball Educational Innovation, we believe it is time that we get connected back to nature to understand how deep the interconnections amongst species run on this planet of ours and to also see that while homo sapiens are just a miniscule percentage of the humongous biodiversity around us, yet it is the human activities that are causing the degradation of environment, and are responsible for the extinction of thousands of species while putting the humans themselves on the edge of existential crisis.
So what can we do
UNLESS we care, nothing will change.
This short course on nature & sustainability will allow the participants to connect with nature and understand the challenges that we face, and hopefully, they will care and bring about change.
Because UNLESS someone cares, nothing will change
