Young learners have been called upon to take an active role in environmental conservation and climate change mitigation as pollution and waste management continue to pose serious environmental challenges across the country.
This message was emphasized during a visit by the First Lady's Rachael Ruto's Mazingira Award representative, Sheila Shifo Mbiru, who presented trophies, laptops and tablets to Bloomington Junior Academy in Thika.
The school proudly celebrated its four pupils who were among the 60 winners of last year's prestigious Mazingira Awards.
Speaking at the event, Sheila underscored the need for a collaborative approach to tackling pollution and waste management, highlighting the importance of engaging young learners in environmental conservation through creative expressions like art, music, painting, drawing, and essay writing, as well as social media advocacy. "The children's voices, captured through their artistic pieces, are a testament to their deep concern about pollution and environmental degradation.
