Environmental experts have re-echoed the call for investment in the protection of planet Earth for the benefit of every living being.
Recently the world marked the International Mother Earth Day with a theme tasking everyone to invest in the planet but experts say the call goes beyond funding of activities. In his words, “Calling for investment in our planet should not be the investment in more extraction of fossil fuels, mining of coal, or for continuous gas flaring. The investment should be one that conserves our environment.
He said, ”We have watched communities suffer from pollution, and grossly damaged environments and today we call on world leaders to sit up and ensure that the earth does not burn in their quest for negative economic investments that ignore ecological realities.”
