The Engr Chief Chukwuemeka Chukwurah Green Energy Foundation (ECCCGEF) delivered economic trees to religious and community development stakeholders for planting and nurturing purposes.
The exercise was part of the foundation's this year's labour day celebrations.
Parish priest of St. Patrick Catholic Church Westend Asaba; Diokpa Umuezei Quarters, Asaba; Diokpa Ugbomanta Quarters Asaba; Diokpa Umuagu Quarters; Asaba, Diokpa Ogbe; Ogbe-Udala Village, Asaba and Diokpa Umuaji Quarters, Asaba.
Making this information available today, Thursday, to Itah Di Na Ahaba, the foundation gave out 12 economic tree seedlings to the above-mentioned stakeholders.
Diokpa Umuonaje Quarters Asaba, had earlier two weeks ago received their own share of economic tree seedlings.
Economic tree seedlings shared to stakeholders today, were effected via a pro bono approach, seedlings distributed were Avocado; Native Pears; Oranges; Guava; Shawashop; Mango; Coconut; Cashew nut and Cherry tree seedlings, each stakeholders got 12 economic tree seedlings.
According to the foundation's Chief Executive, Engr Chief Chukwuemeka Chukwurah, reached out to other major funding partners for the project's sustainability.
Since the rains are here, ECCCGEF encourages all stakeholders to be involved in planting and nurturing of trees, to combat effects of climate change; flooding; temperature rise; drought; cyclone; wild fires and health issues will drop drastically, if we all join hands in these mitigation and adaptation measures to reduce vulnerability and creat resilience to current climate change crisis.
Banks, cooperative societies, and finance houses should fund stakeholders to patronise Renewable Energy Solutions to power their houses and businesses. We commend Fidelity Bank Nigeria for their initiative in this direction.
The carbon (footprint reduction ) market in our country is still in embryo. The Federal Government via Federal Ministry of Environment and National Climate Change Commission should speed up the processes of Developing our home grown Carbon Market. This includes the verification, auditing and pricing mechanisms of carbon footprint reduced by tonnes of CO2 equivalent captured or forgone by green energy utilization, Engr Chief Chukwurah suggested.
In addition, The Federal Ministry of Science and Technology in collaboration with our Universities and Research Institutes, should throw their weights locally in global efforts at developing and commercialising Direct Air Capture and Direct Ocean Capture gadgets .
This will go a long way to encourage genuine environmental activists to authentically commercialise their efforts. The extant global carbon market is cumbersorne and greatly favors the developed countries, he emphasized.
There are vital novel gadgets that simulate photosynthesis in reducing carbon emitted into the atmosphere and in the Oceans. The pathway and engagements may be strenuous but they are thrilling and worthwhile.
Nonetheless, with support and participation from all stakeholders, more could be achieved for a Total Quality Environment for Mother Earth.
Happy May Day and Worker's Day.
