A teacher has urged the education stakeholders to adopt eco-friendly practices in schools, homes in bid to reduce waste, as well as promoting renewable energy, and conserve water resources.
One Ndiema, while speaking yesterday, May 17, during the launch of the National Elimu Tree Planting Day at Racecourse in Uasin Gishu County, urged collective education about the importance of sustainable practices and responsible resource management.
“Let us start by embracing a collective responsibility — a commitment to preserving and restoring our environment. Planting trees is not merely a symbolic act, it is a tangible step towards a greener future. Each sapling we nurture today will grow into a guardian of our land, purifying the air we breathe, providing shade and shelter, and preventing soil erosion. Our actions today will shape the world of tomorrow,” he said.
The teacher further said that there is need for a country to encourage tree planting culture among the kids which can improve wildlife which over the years have been into jeopardy as a result of tree cutting practices.
