At Living Fountain Academy, a private institution within my community in Nakuru, Kenya, I embarked on a mission to inspire young minds and ignite a passion for creating a more sustainable future. My goal was to empower these students to think big, believe in their potential, and become agents of positive change.
The journey began by introducing the students to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a global framework for addressing critical challenges facing our planet. We explored the importance of understanding and incorporating these goals into our daily lives. This led to the unveiling of my project idea: ECOPLAST, an initiative aligned with SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production.
ECOPLAST, a creatively named initiative reflecting its focus on ecological solutions to plastic waste, aims to address the growing environmental challenges posed by plastic pollution within our local community. By implementing innovative strategies
This project serves as a powerful platform for students to learn about environmental issues, develop critical thinking skills, and become active participants in creating a more sustainable future. By encouraging young people to embrace innovation and environmental stewardship, we can inspire a new generation of changemakers who will work towards a healthier planet for all.
