Leading on a greener path forward.


"Every individual matter. Every individual has a role to play. Every individual makes a difference. And when we bring that to bear on planting trees, it can change the world". Jane Goodall.

 What happened to the trees we once knew? As in our childhood, we climbed branches, ate fresh fruits, played in the shade, and watched the transition of seasons in their leaves. Will we ever again know that joy? Today we suffer in ways our ancestors never did – scorched earth, dry rivers, floods. We suffer the consequences of a world changed – polluted air, disappearing forests among others.

Trees are vital in our everyday lives, but we tend to take them for granted. The government and Non-Governmental Organizations have carried out awareness campaigns, provided seedlings among others, but what are the results? We are more active on blame games and complaints – only questions of who should do and how? We must understand that planting and protecting trees is key in ensuring a sustainable and healthy future.

Trees help in filtering the air as they absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen. They give us shade and prevent continued soil erosion. Trees foster safe homes to countless species of plants and animals. Trees help maintain rainfall patterns – the formation of rainfall. Taking care of the trees is a moral need for the life of our generations.

Let’s try to create memories with planting more trees on every occasion in our lives, at birthdays, anniversaries etc. The change we yearn for can only come through mindset change. Let’s embrace & lead the change. It starts with you, and it starts with me. Together we can!

…. for a safer world....

Educating young people around the world

If anyone out there is aged 16-25years, these are two great tips that can help you to out stand your current lifestyle. 1.  Search for God. There is no promise that you can ever prosper without getting to know God. 2. Start learning. I think it was Einstein that said, once you stop learning, you start dying, which I think Maybe it’s a little bit of stretch, but, there is some validity to it. Once you start choosing to learn for yourself, is the moment you decide not just to limit how much you know but also who you can actually become. For every concept grasped, every new perspective understood, you aren’t just expanding your knowledge but you are expanding yourself and everything you can become. You are able to see new perspectives that will allow you to make connections that you never had before. And what that helps you with is; your creativity rises, innovation builds up cause you have essentially given yourself a new of looking at whatever field you find yourself in.

CULTIVATING SUCCESS!!!!

Agriculture is a diverse and comprehensive industry. It highlights the variety of activities and disciplines that fall under the umbrella of Agriculture. This may lead to the question, "How diverse is agriculture?" I am talking of poultry farming, crop production, livestock production, aquaculture, forestry, and horticulture. As I said, agriculture consists of diverse things, but all of them have many benefits, for example, food and income, to mention but a few.  Agriculture also has major products, which include foods, fibres, fuels, and raw materials such as rubber. Food classes include cereals, vegetables, fruits, cooking oils, meat, milk, and eggs. Agricultural products can be used for both food and income, which makes it a more than double benefit. No business does not incur a loss, but as far as I know, if you want to get profits in your business, you have to partly put in what you wish to get from it. Agriculture is not different from any other business, it also requir...
