Abdul Qoyyum Oriola
(Nigeria) | Cleaner environment. The city of Lagos in Nigeria is the fastest growing in Africa. There is soaring rise in industries to complement the about 20million population. Consumer goods leave a heap of rubbish and waste in almost every nook and cranny. This pollutes the water channels, affects the ozone layer as some people tend to burn this plastics, sachet nylons amongst others. Recycling these plastics would encourage manufacturing, reduce pollution of the atmosphere, reduce mortality of aquatic animals and promote generally safe environment. |

Rosa Domingos
(South Africa) | For the resolutions that have set out this year, I would like to conduct outreach programs and movements. I would like to involve other organisations that have the same mandate just as Tunza Eco-Generation. For this, I have partnered with World Youth forum and YALI. I'm going to use these programs to help further educate, advocate and make use of to bring forth awareness of the opportunities they (especially females) have in order to: 1) successfully participate in with sustainable development goals and, 2) to broaden their future so that they could make a difference in this world through education and through participation. I would also like to start up a tree planting Campaign for primary school children. I would like to also couple this with essay and drawing competitions. I'd like to establish this because even I have come to know the children among the most creative and bright minded of the human species and their can vivify their ideas onto paper. I would like to start up at to engagement Channel called #LetUsTalk, this is to allow members to voice out on topics that they feel are important to be discussed and made known to the masses. I have noticed that my duties on the platform will be more challenging this year than the previous year mainly because of the load of work I was given at my employment but I am optimistic and positive that I will try to the best of my capability to watch if the resolutions that I've set forth this year. Thanks Eco-Generation! |

To teach children in my vicinity to recreate and repurpose all possible waste and organise an exhibition in my society premises and give all proceedings to the orphanage in the vicinity. 3.To speak to the local corporator to support my vision of ¡®No plastic zone¡¯ 4. Water is life, but is getting scarce. I intend to make a battalion of the youth to check and seal any dripping tap in my society. Every drop matters. 5. To start ¡®Compulsory Yoga for all¡¯ in my society during my vacation and try and continue it. Yoga ensures a healthy body and mind. 6. I plan to have a vertical garden in every area of my society. Each house, one sapling – and I will gradually ensure greener and pollution free air, filled with serenity. My dream is a big one, but I have started the baby steps already. I hope to see my resolutions fulfilled. |
