Felix the President of GreenClub showed why was it needed, "As youth we know we only energy to the engine of Rwandan development, so we use every single minutes to do something on it. Plastic pollution is one of Climate change causer, after what we have done from here Busanza we thought of what we can learn from Agricultural exposition both to the protection of Environment and Employment opportunities creation."
Agricultural sector be affected most by changes of climate as floods destroys cultivations and others be killed droughts, its not only by that but also some insects come with climate changes.
From there, they traveled a cross the place talking to participants and looking to what is done and be explained about what they have done in their sector
John who is usually a cultivator one of GreenClub members lead the team and tries to explain to them as someone from agriculture sector.
Back to the point, How do participants help in environment protection,
Robert from GreenClub said "It was an amazing experience we get from here, we did know lots of these kinds are made in Rwanda, we can imagine it is possible but everything here is so supportive for what greenClub does"
Felix told us about what they have seen "For us we have been Looking at what are projects available supports environmental protection What are the Impacts agriculture sector is facing from environmental degradation and how youth participates in all those"
He continues like "we saw what we didn't expect like some one from MAGERAGERE uses Plastics used and plant vegetables from it, and its not expensive as it is reusable. and other from University of Rwanda Uses Plastic bottles with etagere to plants some vegetables we usually use from our home.. This also can be used as Gardening and our homes look good"
SAMUEL who is Operation officer and secretary of GreenClub said that what is more interesting it is done by young people which brings a hope that tomorrow or tomorrow but one they will do all innovative ways both to get a goo harvest but also for Environment protection.
This exposition showed that there is something possible, like food for Animals there can be cultivated both for feeding and protecting environment,
One company from Gicumbi uses aluminum to plant grasses for domestic animals which takes only 7 days to feed your cows or goats and more.
it doesn't use soil and uses less amount of water, when it is growing also provides oxygen as they are green plants as well, and these all are made by youth.
Every one is at risk when comes to impacts of environment t degradation, we have to work collaboratively from different sectors and we include youth in what ever we do, so hope they rise with that sprit.
