Environmental stewardship

 Change in student's attitude:

After covid (pandemic) many young people have changed. This is because of the impact of covid-19 on student attitudes towards sustainable development and environmental stewardship. Now most of the young people are saying that they are showing more concern in maintaining their environment. But they were not that much concerned of maintaining their environment before pandemic. This means that they have changed very well after pandemic. They are aware of climate changes, saving their environment and many more. This shows us how the covid has affected the climate and environment. 

Positive change:

During the pandemic the air was not polluted by industries and others. In some places there is a change in the climate due to this. So many, especially young people recognised this and did not want to pollute the environment again. They started to recycle things more than before. There were a lot of changes that differentiated them from before and after pandemic. They started to manage their eco-friendly materials such as growing plants or keeping a small garden in the home. They have started to play a role in improving the climate activism. The pandemic has shown them the power that they can change the world. They began to see themselves as agents. They were willing to save the environment. So, like this there are many positive impact of covid on students. They feel as if they got a responsibility to save the environment and make our planet a bright, clean and happy place.

Setbacks in sustainability:

On the other hand the covid pandemic has brought some negative impact on student attitude towards sustainable development and environmental stewardship in a number of ways. One of the reason is the increased stress. The students due to high anxiety and stress were not aware of anything. Even they did not look after themselves. So they were not taking the responsibility of maintaining their environment. Another negative causes of pandemic are the reduced access to education. There was a problem of acquiring education and knowledge during the pandemic. The lack of education makes them unaware of the rising crisis.

Conclusion:

The next thing is the increased economic hardship. The pandemic has caused widespread economic hardship . It also causes increased social isolation for many students. The pandemic has caused both positive and negative impact on students. There are some who were negatively affected by the pandemic.
