A Poem by Prachi Sachdev (My take on The Earth Conference 2024)
Greener On The Other Side: Eco-Tech Solutions
You, I, and We—
everyone is a climate stakeholder.
In the wake of global warming and rapidly changing climates,
there is a need to build a network
of green warriors and activists,
of scientists and strategists.
Because in this fight to save our planet,
we’re together, and for life to survive,
winning is our only option.
As the former Vice President Gore likes to say,
“We must, we can, and we will solve the climate crisis.”
Hence, it’s time to act swiftly, dearies;
this is our wake-up call to transition
from dirty fossil fuels to clean energy.
It isn’t a work of fiction, but
a compelling piece of art.
As humans evolved, we created a world
wearied by the heavy chain of consumption.
It’s time to drop the act that the world falling apart is of no concern to us!
Listen to organizations, agencies, entrepreneurs, scientists, and
global leaders innovating to find sustainable solutions.
Can you hear the whispers of transformation?
Reckon, it’s both a collective and individual effort
to wash away the stain of yesteryears’ misuse and disaster.
Sitting on the edge of innovation,
awaiting a blueprint to emerge—bold and bright—
to let a better dawn appear.
Together, we have to shift the gears, shape the future, and
lead the charge toward a sustainable world.
Let this be a call to every soul that hears:
Don’t just draw lines but in every act,
show the next generations we care.
How on Earth, this planet we redesign upon the draftsman’s table
the vision of tomorrow. And unlock a world
that flourishes with rivers, skies, and trees, and a resilient future.
