A groundbreaking initiative has been launched by the Clean Ecosystem Foundation, a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO), to establish environmental change agents (Environmental Clubs) in secondary schools across Delta State.
The foundation’s mission is to champion a greener future, one community at a time, by creating a world where every community can thrive in a clean, safe, and sustainable environment.
Through education, mobilization, and direct action, the NGO aims to empower individuals and organizations to join hands in tackling climate change and combating environmental hazards.
The establishment of Environmental Clubs in schools is a crucial step towards achieving this mission, as it will inspire and educate the next generation to become environmental ambassadors.
According to Comr. Timothy Ogheneovo Emorhakpor, Director of Programs, the lack of implementation of environmental policies and laws has led to environmental catastrophes such as climate change, ozone layer depletion, and loss of invasive species.
By encouraging young people to become environmental ambassadors, the foundation hopes to create vast awareness and inspire them to lead lifestyles that are harmonious with the environment.
The first Environmental Club was established at Master Care International School in Asaba, with plans to expand to Government College, Ughelli, and Beach Secondary School, Koko, in the coming weeks.
The Clean Ecosystem Foundation invites individuals of all ages to join this noble cause, working together towards a sustainable future for all.
