The document begins by describing a time when people lived with nature, not against it. Trees, animals, rivers, forests, and food were plentiful, and people respected the land. They planted, shared, and took only what they needed.
The situation changed as development and industries came, and trees were cut down to build houses. Machines brought smoke into the skies, while rivers became dark and polluted. The document explains that people traded clean air and water for fast money and noisy machines. The land suffered, forests died, and although people became rich, many people became sick.
The document then refers to meetings such as COP28, where people discussed how to heal the Earth. It asks what can be done to restore the beautiful Earth. It introduces FLOCCA and explains that people should ask about the money brought to the country to help heal the Earth.
The document says that people should use approaches such as solar energy, wind power, and electric vehicles. It also describes money given to communities for activities such as planting trees and other activities to heal the Earth. Communities can get this information from the County Office, and the document connects this support with making the land green again and improving the rivers.
A major message of the document is that climate money must reach communities and that communities have the right to know and decide. People are encouraged to go to the County Office and ask how the money has been used. The document also calls for more young people to speak out.
The document calls on people to “Track every shilling!” and “Protect our home!” It encourages people to stand together and demand fairness and action rather than empty promises. It concludes by encouraging communities to follow the green money in their county, work together, and promote Green Accountability, with the message that “Accountability = Climate Justice.”
