Secondary schools have been urged to start environment clubs to help contribute towards the betterment of the environment in the county. Speaking at S.A Nawoitorong' Mixed Secondary School late yesterday during a one day seminar, facilitated by APAD, the Advocacy and Governance Manager, Mr. Davis Wafula said the only way to combat environmental pollution is by encouraging the formation and sustainability of clubs which will help address on issues that touch on the environment as a whole.
The seminar which brought on board students and teachers saw them raise concerns over the rising temperatures, Fishing of premature fish in Lake Turkana in Kalokol and rampant burning of charcoal. They challenged APAD to intervene in those issues so as to help see the Public Health Department wake up and do its work noting that waste management and hygiene in Lodwar town was pathetic.
APAD promised to play its role fully and noted that it would take the awareness to all secondary schools in the county.
