Activists lives matter

Hello everyone, Welcome back to another post. Today, I am going to write about activists and why their lives matter. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Raksita Rajagopal 🪐 (@mariecuriegirl28)   Activists are the people who bring   change . They protest for our own rights, our future, and also for our Earth. We can't defend them. In fact, we should be with them. They are fighting the government officials or the political party for us.   For our own good. Now, there are many young climate change activists all over the world. The older people are shutting them out because they assume that the young don't know anything. It's not true.   We know everything because we are seeing it in our own eyes! We are not believing things that others say. We research and we are finding the truth.  Some people may even say that the young in India don't care about Climate Change. You are wrong!  "We are shouting. But, We are Unheard " ...

China's Chang'e-5 mission - What you need to know?

Hello everyone!  With the success of the Chang'e-5 mission, China has become the third country to retrieve sample from the Moon, after the U.S and the Soviet Union. Scientists believe the lunar rocks and soil could give us a glimpse of a much younger moon. Chinese space probe Chang'e-5, carrying rocks and soil from the Moon, returned to Earth safely on December 17. The capsule carrying the samples landed in northern China's inner Mongolia region.   This is the first lunar sample return since 1976, when the former Soviet Union's Luna 24 returned with Lunar material.

A letter to our Future generations

  Dear Future, The first thing we have to say is sorry. Sorry for giving you a world where there are no trees or clean air. Sorry that we've been selfish and didn't care about our nature.  We've only cared about us and we assumed that we don't have time to think about nature or the oceans or the environment. We've destroyed everything knowingly by ourselves. Sorry, we've made your lives hard even to, survive. We have been very selfish and didn't even help the ones who were with us. We fought with each other and we destroyed ourselves and your future. Sorry. Some people fought for Climate Change but we ignored them knowingly. We've been running towards what we thought was great, Money. We thought it will solve all our problems. We left people in Bangladesh with no roof over their heads ferocious water destroying everything or the people in Tamilnadu, their house filled water so they suffered without electricity or food. We didn't see that. People in D...
