\u201cI will always support any initiative meant to promote the keep Zambia clean, green, and healthy campaign. Let us own this campaign by our environment clean green, and healthy,\u201d said the Mayor.<\/p>\n

Ms. Chitangala expressed happiness that a number of stakeholders had come on board to support the initiative citing Deloitte Touche and partners. She said issues of climate change should be of concern to every Zambian and the solutions must sought to address the problem.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is important for us as a country to care for the environment and come on board. My office in this vain has engaged everyone including ward development committees, schools, teachers and households so that Lusaka becomes a green city by the year 2030,\u201d Ms Chitangala said.<\/p>\n

The Mayor appealed to surrounding districts in Lusaka province to emulate the campaign so that the trees are planted all over the country and it becomes environmentally sound. Ms Chitangala was speaking in Lusaka today during a tree planting activity held along Mosi-O-tunya road in woodlands area.<\/p>\n

Mr Mulenga said partnering with Lusaka City Council was part of who the company is about and is happy it was addressing the issues of climate change in the city.<\/p>\n

\u201cMitigating the impact of climate of change is a monumental task. We know progress is possible if we act collectively. As a company we believe that business cannot succeed if society fails,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n
