Millennium Fellowship Project: Greening the Future
Greening the Future is a two part project -one part online and the other is a school outreach. For the online part, we hosted a webinar series where we invited seasoned speakers to train participants on proper waste management and turning waste to wealth.
For the second part, we visited the LASU Staff School to train the pupils and students (our primary audience) on waste disposal etiquette and behavioral changes they can make that will be beneficial to the environment. We taught them the causes and effects of climate change asides plastic pollution and encouraged innovative solutions.
