When we search for the meaning of hug then we find that Hug means to hold someone or something tightly in one’s arms especially to express affection. According to Wikipedia, hug can indicate familiarity, love, affection, friendship, brotherhood, sympathy, support, comfort, and consolation, particularly where words are insufficient. A hug usually demonstrates affection and emotional warmth. A hug can be practiced publicly and privately without stigma in many countries, religions and cultures, within families, and also across age and gender lines, but is generally an indication that people are familiar with each other. Moving from a handshake (or touch-free) relationship to a hug relationship is a sign of a closer friendship such as best friends.
‘Climate Hug‘ is an affection, love and friendship with those things which are eco-friendly & able to save world from ‘Climate Change’. Whole world is facing ‘Climate Change’ and ‘Climate Crisis’ coz of anthropogenic activities (deforestation, urbanization, industrialization, pollution and increasing human population) which are raising GHGs emission by 2ppm/year & causing ‘Warming of Earth‘. Melting of polar ice, oceanic acidification, increasing global temperature, flood, drought, increasing sea level and depleting biodiversity are important impacts of ‘Climate Change’. The growing intensity of wildfires and their spread to new corners of the globe raises fears that climate change is exacerbating the dangers.
We are in ‘Climate Emergency‘ and it is need of the hour to take urgent ‘Climate Action’.
On September 20, 2019 the ‘Water Conservation Girls‘ or ‘Jal Shakti Kanya‘ (Twitter @JalShaktiKanya) in village Alinagar Kenjra of District Firozabad of Uttar Pradesh province of India , will organise ‘Climate Hug’ to show their support for ‘Global Climate Strike‘; these girls will hug trees after binding ‘Red Tape‘ on trees trunks & after taking ‘Oath To Save Nature‘. They will deliver the message to the world that take ‘Climate Action’ and live eco-friendly life every second to ‘Save Future.’ ‘Climate Action’ should be in our deeds & daily life. Love & use only those products which are not releasing GHGs into the atmosphere. Use renewable forms of energy and least dependence on fossil energy.
