She spoke at her school assembly, sharing stories of her grandmother's forests and urging her classmates to help. Together, they launched the Green Hope Project. Each student planted a tree, but they didn’t stop there. They organized cleanup drives along the river, stopped using single-use plastics at school, and even convinced the local café to switch to biodegradable packaging. News of their efforts spread. The town council noticed the changes and joined in, offering resources to expand the project. With UNDP’s help, they received training on sustainable farming and reforestation. Villagers learned about agroforestry—planting crops alongside trees to restore soil health while ensuring food security. Over time, Maruva transformed. The river ran clearer. Birds returned. The acacia trees blossomed, their roots holding the soil firm against erosion. Years later, standing beneath the canopy of a thriving forest, Aisha reflected: "We often think the world needs heroes with capes. But sometimes, all it takes is a seed & the courage to plant it." Moral: Climate action isn't just about policies—it's about community efforts, small acts of care, & inspiring the next generation. The world grows greener when we all plant the seeds of change.

currently my peers and I are in the process of creating an environmental group at our local university (IIE MSA) called the Green Globe Society. And doing so we hope to engage with our professors and small recycling projects and initiatives on campus to connect with everyone. With the addition of field excursions to help create awareness across all fields of study at our university. This can be such as counting and helping our professors identify specific species of organisms within our local wetland that our university owns. For such an example my class and I conducted a river quality check with civilian science equipment, adding to both local and national databases of river water quality across South Africa, we hope to create this society, to help create a sense of awareness, engagement and outsource ideas so our university and individuals can adapt to the modern world IIE MSA

Title: The Seed That Grew a Forest In a quiet town named Maruva, nestled between emerald hills and winding rivers, lived a young girl named Aisha. She had grown up hearing stories from her grandmother about how the rivers once flowed clearer and the forests sang louder with birdsong. But now, the rivers were muddy, and the forests were thinning. One morning, while walking by the riverbank, Aisha noticed a bird struggling to build a nest. The branches were too brittle, the leaves too sparse. Something was missing — the trees were dying. That night, under a sky sprinkled with stars, Aisha decided she would take climate action, not just dream about it. But where to start? The next day, she met with her science teacher, Mr. Kareem, who told her, "Big changes often start with small actions." Inspired, Aisha began with a single tree. She planted a native acacia sapling near the riverbank, watering it every day. But she knew one tree wasn't enough. ......
