He further said that youths should be at forefront protecting and promoting issues regarding environment because it is their future.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMore than ever before there is a need to start early by imparting awareness and a sense of environmental stewardship among the youth of today and future generations,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>On her part, Communication Officer for Bunda Gender Activists Florence Mkandawire asked other stakeholders to provide a room for youths in the environment arena. Mkandawire also appealed to her fellow youths who have different skills to come in the open and showcase their talents.<\/p>\n<p>Youth are increasingly using the power of their collective voice to advocate, lobby and lead campaigns towards adopting environmentally-friendly practices and policies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Malawi.
