Plant a tree and I’ll show you a dream.  A dream of plentiful with abundance of clean air and healthy animals: Conserved biodiversity sustainably protected and cherished; just like our ancestors once lived. Reminisce, see and believe. What I’d give to wake up to such a world of fairness and certainty of my survival and my children’s survival.

But it doesn’t have to be a dream and all it begins with our actions today. Environmental Activism is not a part time job. Breaking it down an activist is basically an active citizen who is actively involved in the country’s development agenda.  The first step is being aware of what’s going around in the environment. No turning a blind eye to a dumpsite or dripping water from a tap or unnecessary usage of electricity.

In the race to save our planet, passivity is highly discouraged. What some may refer to as lunacy, we refer to as a necessity to conserve our environment and assure our future on earth.

Our goal in this magazine is to inspire as well challenge you to start being active on issues environment. The second and most important step is to take action no matter how small. If you think you are too small to make a difference in this world try sleeping with a mosquito inside a net.

The World Environment Day is the United Nations principle vehicle for encouraging worldwide awareness and action for the environment. The theme of this year was 7 billion dreams; one planet; consume with care. The goal was to galvanise people into doing something positive for the environment.
In Nairobi the day was celebrated by an event organised by the County government in collaboration with World vision Kenya and other partners.
University of Nairobi was represented by Chiromo Environmental Awareness Club (CEAC) and UON Students Geography Society
We as CEAC intend to align our actions for the environment with the theme which reminds us that we only have one planet and we should take good care of it. Advocating for a clean environment by encouraging use of bins and recycling: Taking action by participating in clean ups, planting trees and educating our young on the importance of conserving the environment
Let’s all remember our resources our wealth, yes we should exploit them but with care; embrace sustainable development for the sake of our future generations and for the survival of humankind.
Say yes to a green future!
