Hello buena gente, my name is Abdulganiyu Ahmed from Nigeria. I am I student of agricultural and Bio-resources Engineering. Based on the ongoing engagement contest, I was happy when I see the topic to be presented in this community. ![Cream & Blue Modern Simple Earth Day Instagram Post.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXuiPAXkExSQ1yRL5KZkmB9X7AMJFvUBYHBu8i2vhQBgJ/Cream%20&%20Blue%20Modern%20Simple%20Earth%20Day%20Instagram%20Post.png) Image designed on [Canva.com](https://www.canva.com/design/DAE_G_ypjXY/827bdsOAHaW8ae9czVrguw/edit?layoutQuery=earth+day) I learn about climate change every day in school and it pains me to see little changes from my part of the world (Africa). There is almost no restriction to combat the ongoing challenges our world is facing right now which human survival has never been more threaten then ever before. We all need to play our part to fix this problem that is why I have took it upon myself to educate everyone around me on the danger our children will face base on the planet they inherit form us and they have to live in because of our action and failure to act fast. I have act in many way to educate people around me on why we need to take care of this precious home we called earth because no planet has been discovered with exactly earth features. Some of my act include educating people on how to dispose trash probably and how afforestation can help save our planet. I will be explaining below how I carried out these tasks with picture evident to help explained better. -**Helping my community dispose trash properly:** Trash is the composition of rubbish which are mostly in plastic and in rubber form. Plastic takes a minimum of 20 years before decomposing and so up to 500 years. This is the major problem my community is facing before I act to eliminate this problem. With the absent of trash cans, the only place they think is proper to dispose they trash in at a new by pond and canal. ![IMG_20211231_134116~2.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmcWTPJiQDohqRqS91ED9S74MPB5hqELYL3RJkvgxMC83q/IMG_20211231_134116~2.jpg) ![IMG_20220206_083920~3.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmfJ6gLH1dkwpcwbVWcfRgM4PJw4vvYEobYfVGoRDYGJMm/IMG_20220206_083920~3.jpg) As seen in the image above, that doesn’t look right or does it? I am sure all our answer is No. So after I notice this problem I call the attention community leader and I make them see reason why this has to stop. The good news is we now have trash can at important junction and when fill, truck will come and dispose them properly. -**Plating of tress**: One of the major ways we can tackle the issue of carbon deposit is afforestation. I have always encourage people to see the need why we should always plant more trees and stop unjust deforestation. The picture I am going to share below are tress plant around my house.

We need to act now and move towards green energy. I am happy to see the wildly acceptance of solar power in this part of world (Nigeria). I know most people are ignorant about climate change because they know very little about it. They is nothing to be ashamed of you can pick on your phone and search for how you can I contribute to saving the planet and if you actually do as suggested, you might just save millions of lives.
