Mother Nature is in trouble, and we hear about it constantly in the news, on social media, and in our everyday lives. Many of us feel helpless, thinking one person can’t make a difference. There are conscientious individuals taking small steps to prevent further harm to the environment, and they inspire others through their actions.
I discovered the children’s book “Eco-friendly Ajoba” on Amazon and found it very engaging. The grandfather’s lifestyle, which includes his care for nature, healthy eating habits, and yoga practices, sets a positive example.
When I interviewed Ruchita at her home, I was delighted by the setup. There was no television in the living room or anywhere in the house. Instead, there was a charming little library filled with children’s books. They also had a vegetable garden, where they spent time together nurturing plants.
Ruchita shared her inspiration for the book and her goal to raise awareness about sustainable living from a young age. She also spoke about her learnings from her parents, the importance of instilling eco-friendly values in children, and her initiative of a tree plantation drive in her community.
As an Architect and Urban Designer, Ruchita’s focus is to improve spaces and experiences. She also has a passion for painting, with her art pieces being inspired by nature, space, and emotions.
Talking to Ruchita about her book was both informative and enjoyable. She has shown that one person can indeed inspire change, creating ripples that affect those around her. Let’s unite to instill a love for Mother Nature in our children.
