As we approach the year's end, let's not forget that "galamsey" poses a grave threat to our environment. The danger persists, and our collective responsibility is paramount. Stay informed, stay vigilant. Together, we can safeguard what matters most; our #environment .

We should all care about this, but knowing how incorrigible and proud humanity is, we may simply not. How a civilization could be brilliant but at the same time destructive to nature, without which it will cease to exist, confounds imagination and experiential understanding...

#DidYouKnow An estimated 86 percent of Ghana's waste plastic load, is improperly disposed off resulting in plastics clogging up storm water drains, rivers, and streams and ending up in the oceans. This new month, what are you doing about your plastic waste? #BanSingleUseGh

The #FixTheCountry protest is not just socio-economic, it is also environmental. Society cannot thrive without nature, just as economies cannot do without ecology. So we connect the dots; from galamsey to deforestation, rosewood, Atewa and plastics. #FixTheCountryNow

This is how you respond to Government of Ghana (GoG) when they want to mine bauxite in Atewa forest and compromise the water source of 5million people and risk destroying livelihoods of humans and non-human nature. #SaveAtewa

According to Professor Paul Poku Sampene Ossei, children born in areas affected by illegal mining experience cognitive impairment and deformities due to heavy metal poisoning caused by galamsey operators. Are you joining the action tomorrow? #RevokeLI2462 #NoToCommunityMining
