I feel very bad when I see the destruction of our green environment. Doreen expresses
In a world increasingly grappling with environmental degradation, the voice of young advocates is more important than ever. Doreen, a passionate student and leader of the Laudato Si Club at Moreau Nursery and Primary School, embodies the spirit of change that we need to protect our planet.
Doreen’s story begins with her deep connection to nature and her understanding of our shared responsibility to care for it. “Our common home is surrounded by green,” she says, emphasizing the beauty of the trees, flowers, and lush grass that enrich our lives. However, she has witnessed the alarming consequences of environmental neglect—prolonged droughts, declining rainfall, and alarming health issues like cancer. “I feel very bad when I see the destruction of our green environment,” Doreen expresses, highlighting her concern for both the planet and the people living on it.
Doreen believes that collective action is essential. “I advise people to take care of our common home,” she urges, advocating for simple yet impactful actions like planting more trees and nurturing flowers. Her message resonates particularly with the youth, as she recognizes the power, they hold in shaping the future. “We can make our Uganda and nation shine,” she asserts, reinforcing the idea that the efforts of young people can lead to a healthier environment for generations to come.
However, Doreen does not shy away from addressing the challenges posed by harmful practices. “Some people destroy our environment by cutting down trees and burning charcoal,” she points out, calling attention to the disregard for governmental messages aimed at environmental protection. Her plea is clear: “Listen to the messages about caring for our environment,” she implores, emphasizing the importance of awareness and education in fostering a culture of sustainability.
Doreen’s commitment to environmental stewardship extends beyond mere words. As a leader, she actively participates in initiatives that promote ecological responsibility, inspiring her peers to join her in creating a greener future. She believes that by taking care of nature, the community cannot only combat the current environmental crisis but also ensure a safe and healthy world for future generations.
In conclusion, Doreen’s voice is a reminder of the potential that lies within young advocates. Her passionate call to action serves as an inspiration for all of us to reflect on our relationship with the environment and to take meaningful steps towards its preservation. As we listen to Doreen, we are encouraged to join her in advocating for our common home—because the world needs more voices like hers, championing the cause of environmental care and sustainability.
