Sustainable
development is one of the most important concerns of our time. Our planet is
critically threatened by environmental degradation, extreme poverty, and
widespread hunger. Tackling these complex challenges requires an extraordinary
level of co-operation among people throughout the world and the belief that
human problems can be solved.
We
decided to embark on this campaign practically starting with the local people
because this is a Global problem which affects every body equally.
For
the “LET’S GO GREEN” Plant a tree campaign to prosper, we intend to hold
monthly workshops every second Saturday of the month and later we shall begin
doing it twice a month and then on a weekly basis in various parts of the
country depending on the availability of funds.
How to conduct the Tree Planting
Exercise.
· Through the help of the
local authorities in the area of operation.
· By calling local
council meetings which involves residents of the area.
Through these village
meetings, we intend to distribute Tree seedlings for planting to the residents.
Earlier this year [2010], Nansana Town
council Authorities had taken an initiative to plant trees at the sides of all
roads in the area of the Town council but all the Trees that were Planted
weathered due to lack of care i.e. watering and creating protection
barriers around them and so, with CTF,care will be guaranteed.
We
intend to start the practical campaign on Saturday 8th January 2011
and expect our program to go on as follows:
-Saturday 8th January 2011 at
Nabweru Sub county headquarters
-Saturday 12th February 2011 at
Nansana Town council headquarters
-Saturday 12th March 2011 at Wakiso
Town council headquarters.
We
plan to give away campaign T-shirts reading “LET’S GO GREEN” plant a Treeto community members.
Currently
we have no funds to kick off the campaign, therefore, we request you to be part
of the “LET’S GO GREEN” plant a Tree campaign.
