E.P.A FORMS CLUBS IN WEST MAMPRUSI DISTRICT

For years now, environmental damage has always been the topic in our every day discussions. The environment is one of the most important thing that man must prevent from distraction. The burning of bushes, cutting down of trees, improper disposal of waste are some of the things we do to cause damage to the environment. The West Mamprusi district has been hit by flood and storm several times and this year was not exception. In view of this, the Environment Protection Agency decided to educate students by forming environmental clubs in some selected schools in the district to help send out the information to the local people.
Walewale Senior High, Wulugu Senior High and D/A Junior High School where chosen as schools in the district were this clubs are to be set up.

STUDENTS OF D/A J.H.S

Wungu, 8-9km village from Walewale was badly affected by storm and almost every home was affected, all as a result of deforestation. The local people thinks they will have to live by cutting down trees to sell for capital or burn charcoal from trees for sell.

This is the reason why the E.P.A decided to tackle schools and educate students on the dangers of destroying the environment and also to use them as agents for educating the local people and fight strongly against people destroying the environment.
