Changing the world one stanza at a time
<span class="html-content">
<p>Growing up, we were taught several virtues through songs. Writing this has brought back a lot of good memories. At home, school, and religious gatherings, certain virtues were communicated through songs. I somewhat think that it made it easier to remember those virtues because of the medium through which they were communicated. </p><p>Think of this-- What if we applied this same strategy to the issue of climate change? </p><p>I'm certain we have over a million songs on love, loyalty, politics, freedom, and others. For me, this would be a great strategy to grow our children—the future generations—with the climate in mind. I'm sure most of us only realized the concept of climate change as adults, and some are yet to understand it. There are a number of reasons for that, but that's not the point of this post. Imagine the good that we could have done if we knew this early in life. We cannot recover lost time, but we can consciously make better efforts.</p>
<p>Whether or not you believe in climate change, I think it's reasonable to at least make better choices.</p>
<p>Humans are very creative people, so I guess we can create songs and teach our children so they can grow up with a consciousness of the climate. </p>
<p>Imagine if Africa's biggest artists had one track that focused on climate change in their albums! That'd be laudable, although it probably won't totally change people's mindsets. It's still a good start. </p><p>Just so you know, climate change, according to the United Nations, refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns. These shifts may be natural, such as through variations in the solar cycle. But since the 1800s, human activities have been the main driver of climate change, primarily due to the burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil, and gas.</p>
