Greener Minds, birthed from the Eco Saver School Project (ESSP), will educate 3,600 secondary school students and 120 teachers on climate change, up-cycling, and recycling practices through workshops and training in 12 secondary schools across three (3) communities in Ekiti State, Nigeria. Other activities will include planting of 240 seedlings and the distribution of 36 waste recycling trash bins for waste sorting training, thereby empowering students to be future sustainability advocates.
Adolescents in Nigeria are among the most at-risk globally, facing the harsh realities of climate change such as heatstroke, respiratory issues from polluted air, and a lack of clean water and food. Also, floods induced by climate change can displace families and disrupt adolescents' education. Greener Minds aims to educate adolescents about the impacts of climate change. By understanding these challenges, they can become informed citizens who advocate for a sustainable future for our planet.
Greener Minds will: 1) Educate 3,600 students and 120 teachers across 12 schools in Ekiti State on climate change and distribute educational materials to reinforce learning. 2) Train 3,600 students on recycling practices to reduce waste. 3) Plant 240 fruit and shade tree seedlings, providing healthy food sources and combating climate change through carbon capture. 4) Distribute 36 waste recycling trash bins to teach students about waste sorting for effective waste management practices.
Greener Minds will equip students and teachers with the knowledge and skills to be responsible stewards of the planet. Students will learn recycling and waste management practices, fostering a culture of resourcefulness and sustainability that will reduce environmental impact and create long-term benefits for the community. They will also inspire others in their community to adopt eco-friendly practices, thereby creating lasting behavioral change towards a healthy planet.
