To wonder, to care, to become!
The essay you hold in your arms is a sum of my painful, aching thoughts on the eco problems, my search for the way out, a unique perspective to introduce my ideas of becoming a worthy and rounded twenty-first century citizen. As soon as I found that eco problems worry me a lot, I joined our local club "Dubravushka" ("Oakwood"), it’s motto is, "To wonder, to care, to become." We all are wonderful wonderers, aren’t we? From early childhood we are admiring the pleasures of nature: its smells, sounds, and colors. We are "takers," mostly not" givers". To become a worthy citizen we should not only wonder, but also care. If we don’t realize the conservation, we are not going to make any real progress on the environment. I want to develop a blueprint for success in defending this world. With our future on the line we can’t afford to cut corners. In our club we don’t do something great, we are doing small environmentally-related things: plant birches, make homes for birds, make bird-feeders, clean brooks, prepare some special environmental shows addressed to children: "A temple of Nature", "The Earth is our home", "The quarrel of continents", and" What can I do?” We want our peers to think more about the place we live in. Of course, we touch upon such global facts as the disappearing ozone layer, animals, forests, but mainly about the garbage crisis in our community. We find the situation in our countryside worrying; people throwaway litter, cans, and paint the trees and buildings. Soon there won’t be any place free of it. In the framework of the Altay krai program, “Start with your own house", we announced ours, “Make Shipunovo a better place!” We do not raise money to solve this problem; we want to raise peers awareness about environment issues. Man and the Earth are an organic unity. Nobody can break this eternal duet. We are bind firmly forever as a Mother and a Child. Nature is not a plane form, an unsophisticated mould, and artless stamp. It has universal Love, Freedom and own Language, which we have to learn to coexist with. I’m sure, that personal understanding of the crucial importance of ecological awareness will play a great role in my intellectual, spiritual and creative life and will be translated into renewed enthusiasm and redoubled efforts on my part to active eco support of our small community. Nobody can make things better for us in our native place. To be honest it’s not easy, but on the other hand it not nearly as formidable a task as you might think either. It’s a task not for a single person, but for each and every. We must keep in mind three words, three acts, and three steps: to wonder, to care, to become. That’s my mission as a citizen of Altay and Shipunovo.
34 years have past after the first Earth Day. We still have a lot to do. I’m not going to be a looser on this way. Task number one, my recent challenge is to plant a new park just opposite our school.
