This project aims at creating a culture of responsibility towards the environments amongst children and youth. It is believed at this is the time where characters, visions, and various attributes a person might have is formed. Looking at the apathy people have towards the environment, its problems, and repercussions, it is important to reprimand the perpetrators yet educate to prevent similar attitudes in the future. ResMe dedicates ample time to educate about the environment, its current state, and the role each individual needs to play to correct all wrongs done to the environment. It also supplies a safe space where all questions are asked and answers brainstormed, ideas that positively affects the environment are tested and successes executed.
To execute this, ResMe is in two parts, the coaches, and the trainees. The coaches are individuals who are passionate are willing to create change in society with regards to climate action. These people are gathered from universities and industry and their solutions would be heard and tried. They will also handle brainstorming lessons to be taught to trainees after being voted necessary by the team in charge. The second section are the trainees. These are people from primary 4 to SHS three. They would be educated on why their roles in protecting the environment is important and what they can do to support the environment.
With everyone working, we believe the environment will take the right turn as Wangari Maathai said “I’m very conscious of the fact that you can’t do it alone. It’s teamwork. When you do it alone you run the risk that when you are no longer there nobody else will do it.” This is a team we are building to move the environment the right way.
