Hello everyone ,
Firstly I will like to promote this organization co-founded by Amazon - THE GLOBAL CLIMATE Pledge. Please click on the above video to know more.

To make this pledge more interesting, and engrossing I would like to now share videos that will actually inspire us to save our planet.  # Let's Combat Climate Change. # Let's make it happen...

I hope these videos were insightful as well as informative.
Now let's move on......

Okay , now what's a SMART Pledge? I hope you all know about it but for those who don't, I would like just briefly explain.
A SMART goal is used to help guide goal setting. SMART is an acronym that stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Timely. Therefore, a SMART goal incorporates all of these criteria to help focus your efforts and increase the chances of achieving your goal.

Using this goal-setting method , Today I would like to pledge as an individual to combat the climate crisis. I hope you all are with me on this journey.
There is no place like home and the earth is what we have in common as HOME. I believe it is the responsibility of each one of us to put in our efforts to safeguard the earth and pass it on to future generation
Now, the onus is on us. If we each one makes small changes in our daily life, as far as possible, we could make a difference

Here is how we could combat climate change

Encourage Renewable Energy for Local Government Operations: Set a goal to maximize the use of public energy generated from renewable sources (e.g. solar, wind, small hydro).

Realize Benefits of Recycling and Other Climate Smart Solid Waste Management Practices: Promote reuse and ensure access to comprehensive recycling. Adopt a green purchasing program.

Promote Climate Protection Through Community Land Use Tools: Keep development low-carbon-intensity and resilient to climatic change. Update land use policies, building codes, community plans in ways that reduce sprawl, minimize development in floodplains, and protect forests.

Plan for Adaptation to Unavoidable Climate Change: Identify risks to government facilities and functions (e.g. water supply, sewers), and factor into long-term investments and decision-making. Develop a Climate Adaptation Plan, with priority to the most vulnerable areas.

Support a Green Innovation Economy: Incorporate climate protection and sustainability into economic development plans. Encourage work force training and public education for energy efficiency and renewable energy.

Inform and Inspire the Public: Lead by example. Publicize local government  and public commitment to reducing energy.

Evolving Process: Be willing to consider new ideas and adapt existing approaches.

Here is my pledge
