Millennium Fellowship Project: Green Janitors Sustainable Initiative
GREEN JANITORS SUSTAINABLE INITIATIVE is an initiative where individuals of all ages sign up to become environmental corps. As green janitors, you advocate and spread awareness for green and clean environment, circular economy, recycling, climate change, pollution on land and on the high seas, coastal flooding, toxic waste transport and enlighten people about the adverse effects of global warming. Green janitors also render voluntary janitorial cleaning across multiple locations in Nigeria, Huge clean ups are set up on auspicious days like World Environment Day, Earth Day, World Cleanup Day e.t.c. The Green Janitors Sustainable Initiative also advocates the act of upcycling. Upcycling is the process of transforming by-products,waste materials, useless, or unwanted products into new materials or products perceived to be of greater quality, such as artistic value or environmental value.
We also organise Community recycling programs and local beach cleanups,where people can submit their plastic in exchange for incentives like food supplies and beverages.
