UDA Youth from Kisumu County, took to tree planting as a way of popularizing the Party and registering new members aligning the Party's membership to environmental reclamation and preservation.
Led by Mr. Miskel Raphael Guya, the lobby group intimated that they wish to plant half a million tree seedlings by January next year commensurate to the number of new members to be registered into the Party as each successful registration goes in tandem with a seedling planted.
On their first attempt, the youth successfully planted 1500 tree seedlings.
The group also engages local schools and education stakeholders on the need to incorporate Climate Change in the curriculum as an emerging issue as well as starting a conversation around carbon taxation on the carbon (iv) oxide emitting industries.
This proceeds are to be used to create revenue for hustlers at the bottom of the pyramid who plant trees who put in efforts to combat climate change in the country.
