Karim Elajadon, a passionate advocate for environmental sustainability, embarks on a mission to educate the youth of Niger about the detrimental effects of plastic pollution and inspire them to adopt eco-friendly practices.
Amidst the vast landscapes and bustling communities of Niger, Karim witnesses firsthand the pervasiveness of plastic waste, a stark reminder of the urgent need for change. Driven by a deep-rooted belief in the power of education, he embarks on a journey to engage the youth, the country's most vibrant demographic, in a movement for sustainable living. With 58% of its people under the age of 18, educating the youth on the perils of climate change becomes paramount to cultivating a generation of changemakers committed to sustainable habits.
As a grassroots storytelling movement, 8billion seeks to amplify the local and diverse voices of resilient communities around the world, inspiring the next generation of storytellers and climate innovators.
