Shilpi, here. I would like to introduce myself to The Climate Community!
As the product of the technological and instant gratification generation, I knew at an early age that there would most likely be a general disregard for all things Mother Nature. Well, I hate to say this, but I was wrong. Today, there are not only hundreds and thousands of adults collaborating together, but also kids! For the past two years, I’ve been working as a Social Media Intern with CoolPeopleCare, Inc., an environmentally conscious and socially aware company that connects individuals to non-profit organizations. Ultimately, the motto became: Save The World. Because of the sudden immersion into a new realm of work, I quickly educated myself about the exploitation of natural resources, in addition to becoming aware of new found and potential environmental hazards. At that point, I drew the line. I knew, it was my responsibility to help inform, but also to keep learning about different methods to prevent such devastation.
Essentially, my role at this forum is to assist in informing you all about the growing problems facing the upcoming generations in regards to conserving resources on “Planet Earth”.
It’s going to be a complete reinvention of the influence on teens, students, and young adults. The idea behind my series of articles, especially the ones later to come, is to encourage our young readers to get off their butts, get away from the books for a day, to rain check on a party, and instead to get out in the community and put the lives of others before theirs.
Don’t think that you have to be Bono to do some good in the world. Technology, publications, and word of mouth really have made it an even playing field, and anyone can make a difference.
*Check out some of the sites that accompany the resources and information featured in these online articles and you’ll pick up even more tips.
And, stay tuned: we’re all about how you can get involved: I’m going to try to bring my ideas to life and hopefully you can help. Also, I love being turned on to new ideas too, so please write to me and tell me all about you – I’m always ready to listen!
