Climate change enlightenment campaign: Let’s Green our communities
May 26, 2022 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm
On May 26-27, 2022, a campaign on climate change enlightenment: Let’s green our communities was organized to enlighten the communities to reduce rapid climate change. The major impact of the campaign was the recycling, planting of trees, reducing food consumption, and mostly eating plant-based foods. Both students and teachers were enlightened about climate change and actions to address climate change impact. Students pledged to plant trees and adopt recycling at all levels. A second visitation is encouraged to ascertain the survival of trees planted. Some teachers also needed our varieties of trees to be planted in their houses. The organizers encourage afforestation by planting a mango and two orange trees respectively
