Support The Eco-Conscious Citizens Group's #ECCEnvironmentWeekend!

Friday, 5th June, 2020, is World Environment Day. In Ghana, the Eco-Conscious Citizens group has declared Friday, 5th June, to Sunday, 7th June, 2020, as Environment Weekend. Bravo to that committed group of environmental activists. May God Almighty bless, protect and guide all its members - for it is nature-loving citizens like them, who in the end, will save our nation's remaining natural heritage: which is the underpinning of the nascent green economy that we must grow in the post-COVID era, to create lasting wealth and jobs galore for our younger generations.

As a people, if we want to live in a prosperous society that enjoys the health benefits of immune-boosting fresh oxygen-laden air, then, surely, we have to ensure the protection of Ghana's oxygen producing trees and forests - as that is the most cost-effective way to escape the fate of being condemned to live in a nation enveloped by polluted air , over its built-environment, which the present fossil-fuel-powered national economy has lumbered us with?

Above all, we must all support the businesses of Ghana's cohort of enterprising and innovative green businesspeople, such as Eugene Kofi Boakye-Yiadom, Legon Botanical Gardens' brilliant and hardworking CEO - an environmental-activist-hero, who has made it possible for Accra's residents to have a lovely haven of nature, where they can go to have fun, and breathe in some fresh and healthy air, in a capital city whose air-quality is steadily deteriorating: and is responsible for the spike in respiratory diseases that we are seeing across most of urban Ghana, too, today, alas. #ProtectOurForestsAndWaters. #EcoConsciousCitizensGH, mu ye bue, ankasa. This coming weekend, one wishes all Ghanaians, a very happy #ECCEnvironmentWeekend!
