The youth stand to reap the fruits of environmental mismanagement taking place today.

The youths comprise of the largest percentage of the population and are the active group of the population.

The youths are not the last phase of life neither the last innovation of the pedigree of indemnity.

Fighting climate change is futile if done by a few, it is a battle of no spectators.

Current excessive use of natural resources deprives the future generation from sustainably benefiting from these resources.
