Liberia's Challenges in the Celebration of World Earth Day |
|---|
|
Environmental awareness in Liberia is kind of new especially in areas that are rural. I traveled up country to celebrate world earth day in Gbarnga, Bong County. It was a grand interaction with the students and it was welcomed and climaxed with the formation of Eco-Green Clubs in various High Schools in Gbarnga, Bong County which is con-going. I gave the students a synopsis of Earth Day celebration around the world and discussed the importance of Earth Day celebration. The Earth Day is Annual celebration honoring the achievements of the environmental movement and raising awareness of the importance of long-term ecological sustainability. Earth Day is celebrated in the world on April 22 of each year. Denis Hayes, a graduate student at Harvard University, to help organize the first Earth Day. It took place on April 22, 1970, and was designed as an ?environmental teach-in? that would educate participants in the importance of environmental conservation. The interaction was nice and educative, and students got to know the importance of celebrating events that commemorate environmental related issues. Ref: (Indent Caption) Havard Library

Sad to know that in Liberia , not much efforts are been made to energize young people to get involve and advocate for environment conservation but glad to know that you have begun the movement by setting up Eco-Green Clubs in various schools which is a very good beginning and a great initiative . Proud of you , Samuel.
