Carrington Youth Fellowship Initiative , an initiative established by the US Consulate, has launched green clubs in secondary schools in Lagos.
Akpoterai said the launch of the club is to commemorate Environment Day, and to ensure the sustained participation of students in proper waste disposal.“The students have gathered PET bottles from their schools and communities into a wastebin provided within the school premises,” he said. “I encourage members of staff to give them all the necessary support so that these students will become environmental champions.”Olumide Idowu, co-founder of the International Climate Change Development Initiative , educated the students on Goal 13 of the sustainable development goals with a focus on climate action.Idowu urged the students to strive to be consistent in their actions to make the environment clean, as well as to see plastic waste as an opportunity to make money.
“Every waste you see now is money but our attitude towards the environment is very key. The essence of giving back is recycling. Children must know that everything can be recycled and reused, not just pet bottles.”
