The Environmentalist Mindset

Environmentalist Mindset key to environmental sustainability

written by Lolelanji Sinkala

In today's world we are provided with environmentalism information from various platforms.

these past months I have had a lot of questions running at the back of my mind...

What do we do with the environmentalism information we get?

Do we wait for the government of the day or the organizations responsible for environmental protection to take actions?

what are the individual efforts we can take to contribute towards environmental sustainability in our day to day interactions to the environment?

What conscious actions are we taking to ensure that we train children to grow into a people who care for nature?

The Environmentalist Mindset blog was developed to facilitate the Mind-shift to a people who are more conscious on there daily interactions with the environment. A sustainable environment doesn't just happen overnight, it takes consented efforts from individuals to the government and related stakeholders.

I believe we all hope for an environmentally sustainable environment, but the question is how do we as individuals contribute towards the environmentally sustainable future we hope for?

The Environmentalist Mindset Blog will be a platform where you will get orientation on how to contribute towards a sustainable environment as an individual and the blog will also influence the development of a preservationist mindset towards nature.

You must be reading this article and wondering what prompted me to start The Environmentalist Mindset blog.... Lolelanji Sinkala is a female Environmentalist and Communications Specialist. My passion for nature led me to pursue the Bachelors of Education in Environmental Education from The University of Zambia, upon graduation I have been working for various private and government organizations that deal with various environmental issues. From my Professional and academic experience as an environmentalist I have gained knowledge and I decided to share the information I have and still acquiring.

I believe it is possible to have a generation full of environmentalists. The Environmentalist Mind set will focus on 15 major current environmental problems, namely;

• Pollution: Pollution of air, water and soil.

• Global Warming

• Overpopulation

• Natural Resource Depletion 

• Waste Disposal 

• Climate Change 

• Loss of Biodiversity

• Deforestation

• Ocean Acidification

• Ozone Layer Depletion 

• Acid Rain

• Water Pollution

• Urban Sprawl

• Public Health Issues
• Genetic Engineering

The intent of this blog is to inspire pro environmental actions through mindset shift. By raising awareness in your local community, (Schools, Hospitals, Churches, workplaces,etc) and within your families about environmental issues, we can help contribute to environmental sustainability.
