Teens Plant Trees Project (Osisi di mkpa Campaign in Igbo)

Theme

Green and Clean Environment for Sustainable Development

Brief

The TEENS PLANT TREES also known as Osisi dimkpa campaign is an initiative which aims to green up Nigerian schools by teaching the students the importance of tree planting to combating hunger, poverty and climate change. Teens Plant Trees is part of the broad GREEN ECONOMY INITIATIVE with the overall goal of achieving sustainable development. Our approach is to present not just the ecological/environmental values of environmental protection, but also make people see the economic values (short and long term) of environmental protection. Our advocacy cuts across tree planting, waste recycling and building resilient and sustainable environment for economic growth.
