Sharing My Green Story on Twitter |

Dear Tunza family, on 30th July, I was invited to share my environmental leadership story with young and upcoming environmental activists in Nigeria and Africa at large. Over 50 people joined the tweet chat to listen from me and for inspiration. Please find below the tweets I shared with my audience and you can access the full discussion by following #MyGreenStory on Twitter. 1. Thank you @AyoAtitebi and everyone who is live to join my session of #MyGreenStory. I am very pleased to be sharing my story with you. 2. Thank you @ClimateWed for having me. @rasbugri @skosei001 @wrathymarcel @AlugnoaNDesmond I acknowledge your presence. #MyGreenStory. 3. Joshua Amponsem is a young environmental leader and climate advocate with a Bsc degree in Environmental science. #MyGreenStory 4. I am also a volunteer by passion as it has helped me gained so much #skills and #experience. Also a #SocialMedia enthusiast! #MyGreenStory 5. Although mostly working on environmental issues, I do support social impact projects during my leisure time. @kingzicor #MyGreenStory 6. I strongly believe in our generation. The youth of today are engineering a revolution of entrepreneurship, and social change. #MyGreenStory 7. So lets get to my story of environmental activism. Where does the motivation comes from? It all started in the University. #MyGreenStory8. The passion emanated when I took a course on coastal zone management & realised how depleting Ghana's coastal resources are. #MyGreenStory 9. Since the university was based in a #coastal area, I could feel the direct impact of #society on coastal #ecological resources #MyGreenStory 10. One major factor was mentorship. I had some great mentors whom I owe my story to. Dr. Michael Miyittah and Dr. Denis Aheto #MyGreenStory 11. Youth Mentors also strengthened my passion. @wrathymarcel & @jamaljaygreen I thank you for your dedicated support. #MyGreenStory 12. After understanding so much on #ClimateChange from my youth & academic mentors. I started acting as an environmental activist #MyGreenStory 13. I started acting on my passion by co-founding @Ecoscript with a course mate @OkatsieGH - a great social leader he was! #MyGreenStory 14. Soon after @Ecoscript we had our first partnership with @gyemgh during #Powershiftgh (pic) #MyGreenStory 15. Then, I joined with @AlugnoaNDesmond & Dr. @WellmannGwen to found @gayoghana which is now championing environmental education. #MyGreenStory 16. The journey has not been so smooth. Lots of financial & organizational challenges. Bureaucracy when you try to connote change #MyGreenStory 17. I overcame financial hurdles by working with committed individuals. Dedicated people will follow you even when you're broke. #MyGreenStory 18. @wrathymarcel and @jamaljaygreen has been an inspiration in organization management. I love you, mentors. #TeamGreen #MyGreenStory 19. Wonderful opportunities & tasks awaits young environmental activists. As Samsung's @Eco_gen ambassador has been my favourite. #MyGreenStory 20. Volunteering & working for many organizations have been very challenging & hectic. But I love to do so cos it widens my impact #MyGreenStory 21. #WFDChat #AntiPlasticCampaign #PowerShiftGh #NoCoal2Gh are some of the projects I have worked on with great organizations #MyGreenStory 22. Our #NoCoal2Gh campaign w/@gyemgh is protecting millions of lives from the health & ecological impacts of coal power plants. #MyGreenStory 23. Working with @Eco_gen I have organized countless environmental education outreach for rural communities & schools. #MyGreenStory @rasbugri 24. Glad to say, I am spreading news on #ClimateChange in Ghana and beyond. #MyGreenStory 25. Still the Vice President of India's global @greenyouthgengh . I mentor young change makers to implement their projects. #MyGreenStory 26. Every artist was first an amateur - Ralph Waldo Emerson said. We can all become green champions someday. #MyGreenStory 27. Thank you for joining me as I shared #MyGreenStory. Thank you to @@AyoAtitebi and all young Nigerian environmentalists who joined. |

Joshua, I believe it is a great idea to use SNS, in your case twitter, for advertising sustainable environment. I feel sorry for not being able to be part of your campaign, since I do not have a twitter account. But I assure a lot of ambassadors are willing to be. Thanks for sharing!
Posted 21-08-2016 00:56
Once youths get to hear information as these, they get motivated, I also was a part of something like this and it changed my ways of thinking towards resource management and eco -conservation. This is an opportunity to change the mindset of young minds like ours. thanks for the motivation.
Posted 20-08-2016 22:03
Thank you a lot ....Awareness should be created to everyone. .Environment is very important
Posted 20-08-2016 21:52
It's amazing how many campaigns you organize, the presence you constantly bring up on social media, and the amount of innovations you come up with to benefit environmental sustainability. All of us ambassadors have something to learn from you, and hopefully we can spread something to the world as well. Can't wait to see what more you can do in relation to service. Thanks for sharing!

@Arushi Madan and @ Yuna Tae, please note that I also do take inspiration from Tunza EcoGeneration members. Before I joined Tunza, I was not doing so many great environmental works but now, I am all over - seminars, education events, social media campaigns, etc. I love EcoGeneration and I will keep up the good work.
