The aim of the initiative is to use communication strategies to help the students understand the causes of environmental degradation, the importance of preserving the environment, and their role in protecting it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to IPR, the initiative seeks to help children realise that they are key channels of communication in the context of environmental conservation, which is a vital part of this education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking during the engagement, the President of IPR, Esther A.N. Cobbah, encouraged the students to embrace activities that protect the environment and to avoid actions that contribute to its degradation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFor people to care about the environment, they need to be educated about it. Public education is one of the many things that the Public Relations profession does, and we do this with the involvement of members of the public. The Institute of Public Relations, Ghana, therefore, invites you all to spread the message about the importance of environmental conservation. We also hope that some of you will aspire to become Public Relations professionals,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Read also: Election 2024: IPR Ghana calls on Ghanaians to \u201cSpeak Truth for Peace\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Vice-President of the Institute, Donald Gwira, called for collective action in tackling environmental degradation, stating, \u201cEnvironmental responsibility starts with each of us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following their interaction with the school, the delegation presented five dustbins to assist in waste management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mr Gwira added, \u201cThese bins symbolise the importance of proper waste management, and we urge you to be champions of environmental cleanliness in your community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Madam Vera Dansoa Ayisi of the school expressed gratitude for the gesture and assured the IPR Ghana delegation that the bins would be used effectively to instil good waste management practices in the students. \u201cThis thoughtful gesture is a significant step toward creating a clean and healthy environment for our students,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to members of the team, they have conducted similar activities at the Ernest Bruce Basic School, Adabraka, on Kojo Thompson Road in Accra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This initiative comes amid growing concerns over waste management in Ghana. According to environmental reports, the country generates over three million tonnes of waste annually, with poor disposal practices contributing to pollution and health risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The activity, according to IPR Ghana, reflects their focus on raising awareness and driving action on critical societal issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">IPR Ghana\u2019s 50th anniversary celebrations continue with a series of events aimed at empowering communities, fostering public awareness, and promoting professional excellence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n                <p><strong>DISCLAIMER: <\/strong>The Views, Comments, Opinions, Contributions and Statements made by Readers and Contributors on this platform do not necessarily represent the views or policy of Multimedia Group Limited.<\/p>      \n               \n <!-- Post Tags -->\n                \n\n                        \n\n    \n                                 \n                                             \n                    <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The leadership of the Institute of Public Relations (IPR) Ghana, as part of activities to mark the institute\u2019s 50th anniversary, visited the Osu Presbyterian Girls&#8217; School in Accra and educated the students on how to protect the environment.
