Good Humans 268 teams up with Caribbean Youth network to advance recycling efforts among students

Good Humans 268 Inc. continues to promote good environmental
practices among young people as it joins forces with the Caribbean
Youth Environment Network (CYEN).
 

The entities have come together for an initiative dubbed “Bright
HACK Plastic Challenge, Inspiring Students to Become Eco-
Conscious Leaders!”
 
In a fresh effort geared towards building environmental
sustainability, Good Humans 268 Inc. and CYEN will be providing
local students with the opportunity to decorate the recycling bins
located on their school compounds.
 
These bins form part of Good Humans’ recycling programme to
shape the Nation’s youth into environment stewards.
 
Elijah James, the CYEN national coordinator, says the organization is
delighted to partner and support the recycling efforts of Good
Humans through the new challenge.
 
“BRIGHT Hack provides an engaging platform for young people to
not only showcase their creativity and problem-solving skills, but
also encourages youth to take an active role in addressing the global
plastic crisis affecting the future of our planet,” James says.
 
For this contest, each school will be provided with a standard kit of
decorating materials and tools to create unique designs for their
recycling bins.
 
In the first round of the competition, 11 schools have been selected
based on their performance in the recycling programme during the
first term of the academic year.
 
Students are being encouraged to download the “Tide Turners App”
(gefislands.org) for more information on how they can help to tackle
plastic pollution in their communities.

Joshuanette Francis, the founder of Good Humans 268 Inc., says that
education is the key to fostering positive change.
And by involving students in this recycling challenge, she says, “we
are not only addressing the urgent need for sustainable practices,
but also nurturing a generation of eco-conscious leaders.” 
 
This collaboration between the two youth organizations is a shining
example of how collective efforts can drive positive change, Francis
says.
 
“As students across the twin-island nation gear up to take on the
challenge, the hope is that their innovative solutions will address
immediate environmental concerns and inspire a broader
commitment to sustainability within our society,” she adds.
