About Young Environmentalist
Young Environmentalist (YE) is a Down To Earth and Gobar Times initiative to promote environmental awareness among the young and curious.
Like Down To Earth, YE believes that information is a powerful driver for the new tomorrow – and the young, along with their extended community of teachers, parents and families, fulfil a critically important role: that of an audience which is hungry for such information, as well as one which has the potential to actually use this information to drive change.
YE’s selection of subjects ranges from climate change, air pollution and energy to water, biodiversity, waste and food, and has been brought to the young through interesting articles, videos, classroom learning aids, games, activity sheets, short stories, posters, DIYs etc. This content has been sourced from Gobar Times, the popular supplement for the young which Down To Earth publishes, as well as from exclusive contributions from our valued writers, reporters and creative experts.
Through these, YE hopes to satisfy that hunger of the young. It hopes to open their eyes and minds to oft-explored as well as unexplored concerns, issues, questions and answers in these and other subjects. It hopes to help them visualise and reimagine these concerns and their solutions. And it also hopes to kindle a passion in them for knowledge, and for using that knowledge to bring in change.
Programme Details
Since every dwelling activity—other than cave living!—impacts the environment, there’s no absolutely sustainable way to build! Construction is among the most naturally damaging activities. How can this be optimized?
Starting from design-conceptualization to observing daylight and ventilation, followed by usage of in-situ earth and local materials, join Sharanya Iyer in her journey towards least-impact building. Learn about architecture and construction processes, resource optimizing systems, while minimizing pollution. Feel rooted in nature with a hands-on, experiential activity that will spark your natural instinct to build better. Be ready for this session with just a mug of water and soil.
