The issue of environment is very critical. It is captured in the Constitution on land and environment. We must treat it with the seriousness it deserves. There is the issue of soil erosion when it rains. I challenge this Climate Council to use schools and educate our children. Let us use schools and training centres like Technical and Vocational Education Training (TVETS) by factoring them in. Mr. Speaker, Sir, look at the experience that is in this council.
