The first time I heard the word reduce, reuse recycle was when i was in grade 3. It
was an advert made by DsTV in order to encourage and educate kids on the virtues of
taking care of the plane. It was this advert that lead to my first green week organized
by my school. The idea got stuck into our heads mostly because there were no
classes for the first two periods that week but it was a moment not to forget.
Sometimes the basic and simplest ideas are the best solutions to most problems
which is why I believe that through education, support and employment my project will
not just only reduce the amount of waste in the surrounding environment in Nigeria but
also educate the youth and even adults on the virtues of reduce, reuse and recycle
and show them the danger of pollutions from inappropriately discarded waste. I plan
on promoting values by creating a company that target these minor issues that can
lead to a big change. People believe that until they use a million dollar innovation or
technology, they won’t be able to find or solve the problem which is climate change
but all it takes is just a visit to the preliminary basic activities which in this case will
lead to a huge impact if taken serious at a large scale. Project reduce, reuse and
recycle hopes to bring this ideology to a huge scale in such a way that Nigeria will be
changed environmentally. The effects on Nigeria will be extremely impactful if taken
very seriously and we hope to spread our notions to other parts of the world and
eventually to the rest of the world and share the result of our handwork and show the
benefits and virtues of it.
I hope I have been able to share my vision and show an insight into the effect and
merits of my project. I am very grateful to have participated in this contest which
allows me to show and share my ideas to the world.
