Kohima, September 17 (MExN): “In the conviction of our duty of solidarity for humanity, for the coming generations, and to campaign for an environment that will enhance and be suitable to sustain and support lives,” the Angami Youth Organisation (AYO) is calling for “A Moment of Solidarity to Enable Our Environment” on October 5, beginning from 6:00 am to 6:00 pm in Kohima.
In exercise of this initiative, on October 5, AYO will impose:
• All vehicles to remain off the road for the day
• All mills/crushers/print/fabricating houses/workshops/cafes/constructing agents using planners and other power driven equipments etc to down/cease their power driven machinery/activity for the day
• Minimal and judicious usage of power at home on TVs/Fridges/PCs etc
• All vehicle owners/drivers etc to cease engines even at home/garages AYO President Medo Yhokha and Vice President Kekhrievolie Keyho in a press release informed that the scheduled date is not a “bandh” therefore no restriction on human movement and activities will be imposed under any manner.
‘A Moment of Solidarity to Enable Our Environment’ is a call to all to take a walk to work, work with human driven energy, feel a day with nature- a day without dependence on fossil fuel energy related to life, to take a walk for healthy and better life, a day to enable our environment to recoup its vitality for human sustenance.
AYO stated that environmental and climate issues have become too imperative to be ignored or to be left to the next generation to address this implacable fact. “With the environment in an unprecedented point of vulnerability, the damage and the threat of our own human existence have become too eminent if we don’t react prudently now- accept our responsibility in the current situation, act to repair what can be repaired, and conserve what can be conserved to prepare a future for ourselves and for posterity,” the Organisation stated.
Towards this end, the initiative has been called to impress upon the present generation for an attitudinal and behavioral change towards our nature and environment for a world that enable decent and convenient living.
