The True Story of an Eco-Warrior : Earth Day Special Essay (3rd Prize Winner) by Saswati Kumar, Grade VII, Funlish Language School

 


An eco-warrior is someone who spends a lot of time working actively for environmental causes. I have grown up seeing my father as an eco-warrior. As we all know, 71% of the earth’s surface is covered with water but only 3% of it is fresh water and thus, being an eco-friendly person, the first step to be taken is to save water. My father Mr. Sourin Kumar is a businessman. He is a very eco-friendly person and does not allow any of my family members to waste water unnecessarily and had stopped using plastic bags long back.

        Being an eco-warrior, he once thought of giving flight to his innovative ideas. He started a new sewage treatment plant. He put his imaginary ideas together and founded a firm that deals with waste water and its best treatment. Initially, he started his business in a small rented room but gradually, he could make others understand the value and importance of sewage treatment plants which seemed to be the turning point of his business. It flourished mostly in the parts of Eastern and North Eastern India. His network grew and many hospitals, hotels and industries started showing their interest in this eco-friendly venture. He put his ideas across in the seminars, held in different parts of the country, which made him more confident to deal with this eco-friendly business of saving our planet. His ideas of sewage treatment motivated me and I also try to use water in its best possible way. Nowadays, he is dealing with rain water harvesting projects. His main aim is to meet the rising demand of water needs. The technology which he is using is relatively simple, easy to install and operate. He sends his technical team to the sites for installation of the machines. This process of rain water harvesting motivated me to be an eco-warrior and to help my father reach his goal in making the earth sustainable.

This isn't a Feminist Mark : A poem by Anushka Jana

 However much we think, Or hate the colour pink, Can we be fearless like you? Or be as daring as you? Do you think we’ve purpose, Like delicate flowers, a simple rose? To exhibit when it’s fresh, And throw when reduced to flesh?   Will it be a sin to do? Things that most of you do, Blaming, shaming and curbing us, We wonder how many of us you did curse! And why would you do so? Because we let our ambitions grow? Because we step out of veils And look fabulous in our esteem, Or because we love ourselves And try to look out of kitchen shelves? We dream to invent remedies, To sign important treaties, Pen down novels without pen names And excel in various games. Driving cars and repairing lights And guarding streets on dark nights And to speak, to debate, We want to do things and not wait. And we didn’t sink our hearts, Neither focus only on sewing skirts, Nor on only cooking for your bunch of kids, But we tried to help ...

SDG Story Writing Contest (1st Prize Winner) : Who is the Best---The 17 SDGs by Rumish Ali Saif, Seth Anandram Jaipuria School, India

  A civilization rides on the shoulders of its youth force. And when the question is of existence or sustenance of the planet as a whole, the children and the youth of the entire world need to come together, think together and act together to make that possible. Let us read what some of them have to say to us through their stories on SDGs, ponder on what they are trying to say, act accordingly and try and change our ways of life.
