The 2011 Green Report (a Solar Jooce publication) - in memory of Professor Wangari Maathai
We have just launched the very first issue of our Green Report, a publication focused on environmental issues.
The 2011 issue is dedicated to the memory of Africa's great Green activist, Professor Wangari Maathai, whose Green Belt Movement (www.greenbeltmovement.org) revolutionised what African women could bring to the table in terms of rescuing the environment, creating jobs and providing the basic necessities of life.
Asides from featuring statistics (World Forest Data & World CO2 Emissions) to show how grave climate change matters have become the world over, the 2011 Green Report shows how exemplary corporate citizen, MTN Nigeria has incorporated a Green agenda into most of its activities from planting trees, to using biodegradable recharge cards, to deploying hybrid power solutions.
BATN Foundation has also jumped in on the ground floor by executing extensive re-forestation programmes around Nigeria.
Finally, the report interviews Christine K of the Green political Foundation, Heinrich Boll Stiftung, Nigeria - while Engr (Mrs) Bahijjahtu Abubakar (Head of the Renewable Energy Programme at Nigeria's Ministry of the Environment) talks about her portfolio and how it is structured to combat the country's ever worsening climate challenges.
