World Environment day special

Today I learned about World Environment day:

Nature:

What makes you like the environment

Baida: "Planting a tree at home, can have a big impact on our environment".

Why do you like scouting so much:

Riyan: "I like nature, that is why I like scouts, I like camping and scouting."

Salleh: "There are 18 ocean-related days, even a blue sky day, it is important to preserve nature,"

Salleh: Along with the population increase, the greater the population is, the more resources are required from the earth, and comes with it, the loss of all the bio-diversity. 

What are efforts of the balance of the ecosystem

Baida: "Reduce waste, and work to save water, start rainwater collection."

What are the measures scouts have taken

Raiyan: "Scouts are doing a great job, contribute to stoping all this wasting water and waste."

Salleh: "We encourage the younger generation to learn more about nature, and defending it." 

There was a forest in Terengganu, with palm oil and people distorted the forest for agriculture 

Sallah: "We have specified which land can be utilized for agriculture, and for conservation, but some politicians don't care, we don't need palm oil, we have enough to sustain us." 

In Pulau Penang, they are building over the ocean and claiming land

Sallah: "Don't build over the land, they are obstructing the life under the water, if we do land reclaiming then we don't know the outcomes in the future."

Environment:

When certain people open land, by agriculture they do open burning

Baida: "Once you burn a forest, the soil gets burnt too, you are making more greenhouse gasses than just cutting the forest down."

Sallah: "Get up and stroll on grass and soil, and also don't live in a virtual world." 

Baida: "The first toothbrush you used at the start of your life, is still sitting in a landfill."

Our condition:

Hariesh: "The ozone layer is slowly getting better, and because of the MCO."

Balda: "We need to stop deforestation."

Sallah: "Humans are greedy, and because of our greed we are damaging our only planet."

Sallah: "Paper bags are better than plastic bags."

Scouts in nature:

The world scout environment program supports environmental education.

Learning about nature and the environment and to take action to protect it.

Malaysia is a very biodiverse country.

Awareness programs, save nature for future awareness programs.

Educational programs, we have plans for environmental education although they are difficult to execute.

We have plans for the world scout environment program & Earthtribe.

Earth tribe's badge champion of nature and scouts go solar.

SCENES is a center that committed to protecting its natural environment, minimizing its environmental impacts, and promoting the environment. 

The world scouts are teaming with: the WWF, the Sea Scouts, the Eco-schools, and many more.

"He has given us a world to live in that is full of beauties and wonders, and He has given us not only eyes to see them but minds to understand them -- if only we have the sense to look at them in that light. We can enjoy bright sunshine and glorious views. We can see beauty in the trees and flowers" - Brandon Powell.

Baida: "We just have to keep learning about nature."
