Climate change is not a part of a scary science fiction story any more. It is a reality.
\nIrrational use of natural resources, deforestation and reckless use of scientific advances have created this critical situation.<\/p>\n

It is so bad that future generations are worrying about the safety of their future. The start of 2019 was marked by students skipping school worldwide on a Friday. This movement was initiated by a Scandinavian differently abled teenager.<\/p>\n

Workshops at Uttorsori<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Young adults are trying to create awareness amongst adults. Their demand is very basic – they want a safe world. A group of British Asian kids from Essex has started a new trend within their community by writing a story on climate change, pollution and its impact in the future. They named the project ‘Heal the World’. The group consists of 20 children aged from 5 to 18.<\/p>\n

They explored real case studies on river pollution across the globe.They highlighted river pollution due to the fashion industry in China, mass deforestation in India causing pollution of rivers and soil erosion, explosion of nuclear reactor in Russia and long term damage to the community and nature.<\/p>\n

They have used a variety of eastern and western instruments, songs and dances as modes of story telling and performances to increase awareness and to improve day to day practice towards recycling and energy conservation.<\/p>\n

So far they have been successful in improving awareness in Essex and they will be doing future shows in East London in the coming months to involve people in the movement of ‘Heal the World’.<\/p>\n
