@Sebson from Cameroon.

Earth Day arose from an interest in gathering national (USA) support for environmental issues. Likewise, it marks the anniversary of the birth of the modern environmental movement, first celebrated on April 22, 1970.
I am going today to write about earth green celebration in Cameroon.
                                                              

Celebrating Earth Day

            There are myriad of ways (from small to big activities) to demonstrate how we care about the future of our planet.  For example you could plant a tree, make a meal with locally-grown vegetables, educate a family member or friend, clean up trash in your neighborhood, join an environmental group, save power — the possibilities are endless. Furthermore, let?s remember we don?t have to wait for Earth Day to show our love for the planet we call home.

Earth Day Network(an environmental movement) authored the 2016 Earth Day theme, ?Trees for the Earth?. This theme aims at planting 7.8 billion trees before 2021.  According to earth day?s global coordinator, trees will be the first of five major goals they are undertaking in honor of the five-year countdown to Earth Day?s 50th anniversary.

Some might question the impulse behind this year?s theme. Here is the answer according to Earth Day Network trees help combat climate change, help us breathe clean air, help communities achieve long-term economic and environmental sustainability and provide food, energy and income. With this, we can conclude that trees are integral for human existence.

Earth Day at Green Cameroon

Through a series of activities and campaigns, Green Cameroon has long been advocating for better climate change resolution policies and a healthy natural environment.

Community Trees Campaign a program centered on promoting  the culture of tree planting in communities of the Mount Cameroon Forest Region is one of our organization?s major long term campaigns and it?s akin to the ?Trees for the Earth? campaign. Pragmatically, this project revolves around sensitizing on the importance of trees and forest and how they can best be managed in a sustainable manner.

Some of the major milestones achieved under this project include the thousands of trees planted in the region (Mount Cameroon Forest Region) and the development of many community tree nurseries. These milestones were achieved through the establishment community  tree nurseries (where hands on training in tree species propagation, nursery management, tree planting and forest management and advantages on using modern agro forestry techniques were given).

To conclude, Earth Day is not exclusive to environmental activist and enthusiasts but it is for everybody and can be celebrated everyday, any day and anytime at your convince. Be inspired to make our plant a better home by planting trees and not destroying them (trees).
