“We recognise that the path to a greener future requires collective effort, innovation, and a commitment to sustainable practices…together, we can make a significant difference in our environment and communities,” he noted.
Beyond adopting new technologies or implementing innovative practices, he noted that advocacy for green initiatives should include developing a mindset that “prioritises the health of the planet and the well-being of communities.”
