Of course, the main goal is to restore the ecosystem of the grove. A lot is done in this direction every year. First, the territory of the park was cleared of more than 200 tons of garbage. Second, an inventory of trees was made - there turned out to be almost 10,000. Pheasants and turtles are bred in the park, there is even a hotel for insects. For visitors to the park, paths and bridges across the canals have been laid, benches have been installed and recreation areas have been equipped. And most importantly, several hundred trees and shrubs have been planted every year.

Since 2007, I have been leading "coordinated climate education" efforts bringing together educators and students from across different campuses, mostly in the US.  The idea is that we are stronger together. OSUN provided the chance to take this world global and engage thousands of educators at over 350 campuses in 50 countries.

Campuses should commit to net zero carbon targets by 2035, and students should engage with the needed research to determine the most cost-effective options-- from weatherization to geothermal to solar power and electric vehicles to changes in the food system-- needed to rapidly cut climate pollution. The university can be a model for the city, reducing air pollution, improving health outcomes and saving money. Campuses also need to be training the workers needed to decarbonize-- including not only electrical engineers, but also artists and writers, business people and scientists,  farmers and political leaders, who can change the future. 

🌿 The Power of Greenery at Our University 🌿

We are now having plants in our university spaces which can positively impact our learning experience.

Benefits: 1) Cleaner Air: Plants act as natural air purifiers, improving the quality of the air we breathe and creating a healthier environment for everyone. 2) Boosted Well-being: Being around plants can reduce stress, enhance mood, and increase productivity, contributing to a positive and uplifting atmosphere. 3) Inspired Learning: Greenery stimulates creativity, improves concentration, and fosters a connection with nature, creating an ideal environment for learning. 4) Environmental Awareness: Incorporating plants promotes sustainability and reminds us of the importance of preserving our natural resources.

Let's embrace the power of plants and create a greener, healthier, and more inspiring university together!
