Green Living Association provides inclusive (value based) education to students (and their families), which makes the school’s curriculum comprehensive in developing growing students into well acquainted, responsible and environment friendly personalities. We concluded this year’s prime activity, ‘My Green Homeland’, with its focus to teach responsible and environment friendly living and therefore to bring green developments into participants lives. Such inclusive (value-based) education can enable our society to develop our homeland Pakistan into one of the modern and greener countries in the world.
The ‘My Green Homeland’ activity was aligned with the United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration (2021-2030). Being part of Green Living initiatives worldwide and partnering with the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) and Cleanup the World, Green Living Association made a broad-based strategy to involve maximum quality schools in Pakistan.
To make the activity even more fascinating, we announced attractive prizes and awards for participants which include 7 Cash Prizes for Crown Green Ambassadors, National & Town Winners Prizes, Gold & Silver Medals, Green Ambassadors’ Insignias and precious Certificate of Admiration for every Green Ambassador (the participant student).
The impact of ‘My Green Homeland’ on participating families is, however, much greater than just winning an award. The real reward is bringing green developments into our lives in making our homes, campuses and societies eco-friendly to make our entire homeland greener and cleaner. This will contribute towards the global efforts to successfully control the phenomenon of climate change.
In view of the exclusive benefits of ‘My Green Homeland’ for the participants, for school administration, the environment and our entire homeland, joining the activity proved highly signifcant. Besides winning valuable prizes, the participation remained a precious contribution to building our nation as a responsible, modern and environmentally friendly society.
Unique Features of ‘My Green Homeland’
Category 2 and 3 students and their supporters (family members) were to consult their guidebooks available on this website and respond to the MCQs in their worksheets and produce creative writing on the given subjects. Whereas 1st category students and their families required to submit climate related artwork and creative writing in their worksheets on the provided climate words. Such unique form of inclusive education makes ‘My Green Homeland’ an exclusive activity for the whole family.
This time we announced four cash prizes for the Crown Green Ambassadors (the top national winners). Besides Rs. 100,000 Cash Prize for the 1st Green Crown there were 3 more Green Crown Prizes of Rs. 10,000, (one for each category). Moreover, there were 20 Prizes for the National Winners, 40 Prizes for the Town Winners, and more than 50 prizes of Gold and Silver Medals. There were 60 Prizes of Green Ambassador Insignias and a precious Certificate of Admiration for every Green Ambassador (the participant student).
Why this approach is really significant
Pakistan is among the top ten countries in the world most at risk of climate change impacts. Common people are generally less aware of the effects of climate change, however, the increasing intensity of floods, heavy and premature monsoon rains, heat waves, urban flooding and sea storms in recent years have alarmed all Pakistanis about these increasing impacts. To boldly and appropriately address the climate impact, all Pakistanis must not only be aware of what is happening, but also contribute their part as responsible citizens in transforming our homeland, Pakistan, into a modern, greener and safer country.
Prize Distribution
Due to space limitations, we list a few national winners below, which is not a true reflection of the extraordinary achievements of the Green Ambassadors. There are hundreds of other winners that we will notify individual campuses via email. We hope to complete the process of informing each participating campus via email of the winners and prizes this weekend.
Green Living Association extends warm gratitude to all the winners/participants, their families and valued educational institutions for participating in this noble cause.
