Inspired by the actions of others | Young people taking the lead to beat plastic pollution
Today, I was marveled and inspired when I saw three young girls take spices that have been grown in a UPB Plant Nursery Pot to school as their science work.
Can you identify the different plants they are growing?
Do you know what this means to us?
It means the Earth Rangers and young people we work with effectively understand what it means and what it takes to #BeatPlasticPollution. It also means we are effectively educating these young people to be at the forefront of effecting change. We were very much inspired when we saw these young girls who testified that their inspiration is from the work we do with them.
From little things, big things grow! We will keep educating and engaging young people to be at the forefront to #BeatPlasticPollution.

A welcomed initiative. One of the problems we face especially in Nigeria (not sure if same is obtainable in other African countries), is the level of pollution caused by stuffs like plastics without any initiative to recycle.
These are things the white folks do. Little things they may seem but matter a lot for a sustainable environment. These "little things" are what set us apart.
We'd get there. I'm hopeful. Well done @thegreens
Thanks @reservedsingle. We believe from little things. big things grow and are hopeful that someday we will get there and this explains why we are striving to educate and engage more young people.
