Elizabeth Wathuti - Kenyan, Africa
2019 Ganador(a) | Environmental enthusiast | Kenyan
Growing up, I often thought to myself: Why not nurture and raise more young people to be conscious of the environment at a young age, so that their collective action will help address global environmental challenges? My Green Generation Initiative seeks to address challenges such as deforestation, climate change and environmental injustices, by nurturing young environmental enthusiasts to take action on climate action, zero hunger, quality education, and life on land. I achieve this through greening schools, environmental education, planting fruit trees for food security, and inculcating a tree growing culture among people for forest cover increment through an adopt a tree campaign, and through working on food forest establishments in schools.
