" " Be the change that you want to see in the world". Every single time i wish something would change, i always wonder what i can do to incite that change. I do leadership because i belive its one way to make a diffference no matter how small. Leadership gives you tbe avenue to bring forth your ideas to a bigger crowd and leading them to see the bigger picture that your are trying to paint. "

Millennium Fellowship Project: Think Global Act Local

My Think Global Act local project is an
environment protection project.
My project is aimed at awareness creation to the
perpetrators of climate injustices, the project
goes forward to show people how they can come
to the fight of climate action even at the lowest
levels.
From the smallest of not littering, proper waste
disposal to increased awareness and uptake of
other forms of energy for day-to-day living like
cooking.
I aim to call out my friends who litter and walk on
the lawns, i bring awareness on environmental
sustainable energy alternatives to my family, so
that they don't cook with charcoal and firewood
but use electricity.
I ask people to carry a shopping bag to the
supermarket so that they are not given more
polyethene bags.
train and support recycling ventures.
I look at what is done globally, the work
strategies and I implement them to my friends,
my family, my club and university.
