Preserving a well-lived planet for the future generations - Part one

On the 14th of March 2023, I participated in my school annual seminar day presentation where I gave an interesting dialogue regarding an aspect of my Ph.D research. An exhilarating yet poignant moment for me because my conversation was predicated on how humans activities on the planet have indirectly or directly contributed to the climate change or rather environmental degradation.

Of course, we cannot negate the fact that human activities are not only the main source of climate change or rather environmental degradation. Reportedly, natural systems are also contributory factor. In perspective, human activities resulting to the emission of these harmful green-house gases are predominately associated with energy production and industrial activities while others includes; land use, forestry and land changes. On the other hand, the natural systems includes; forest fires, earthquakes, wetlands, permafrost, mud volcanoes, oceans and volcanoes. Although, statistically, the global greenhouse gas emissions produced from natural systems and anthropogenic activities are unarguably the earth's natural system self-balancing itself, and the anthropogenic emission add an additional pressure to the earth systems.

In order to reverse the effects of climate change that has indeed resulted to the long-term shifts in weather patterns and temperatures, the shift to renewable and sustainable energy resource has to be ascertain as soon as possible, and one notable viable solution towards that path is solar energy.

Yes indeed, I know you would have guessed that the topic of the dialogue I gave was predicated on how we can exploit solar energy - a renewable and sustainable energy means of preserving a well-lived planet for the future generations.

Given the above brief conversations, I drop my pen with the intent of returning back with an innovative thought igniting dialogue on preserving the planet for the next generation.
