Being an advocate for environment
protection will open your eyes to current issues that affect our environments
so we can take decisive actions that will make our environment sustainable (making
it safer for the future generation).
Lagos as we know it is surrounded by
water and this makes this city very unique and remains the pride of Nigeria,
Lagos serves as the commercial nerve center of Nigeria accounting for over 60%
Nigeria’s income, Lagos is precious and we love it, it is a land of opportunity
where fresh graduates troops to in order to make a living, but imagine if we
wake up one day and there is no Lagos anymore, its not surprising to note that
Lagos is just about 7meters(22 feet) above
sea level ,this makes Lagos probe to flooding and rise in sea level, The island of Kiribati is just about 4 m (13 ft) above sea level and its inhabitants are being forced to relocate due to flooding and rise in sea level.
The realities of global warming includes ice
melting, flooding, and erosion, increased storm all these affecting human settlements
and our seemingly harmless human
activities has contributed to the rise
in sea level cutting down trees, burning bushes all in the name of urban development. Buildings
have taken over where we are supposed to have trees and we fall tress without
bothering to plant another.
I see Lagos with a sustainable
environment, free from the effect of climate change, with citizens sensitive
enough to protect their environment from harm. Spread the word
Thank you. #sm4cc
