Objective: Promoting climate action and spreading awareness regarding global warming is the top priority of IDEAS For Us. The future generation must be engaged to learn more about sustainability, and funding support is needed to keep these discussions occurring on a frequent basis.
Objective: Growing a garden in a local community center or low income school can help inspire the next generation of produce growers. Fresh produce is in a high demand but jobs in coal and mining take away from the agricultural workforce.
Objective: Erosion due to sea level rise and tourism is taking a tole on the local waterways in Guinea. By planting native plants, the process of erosion can be slowed down tremendously with hope of even reversing the side effects of these challenges.

Margaret J. Wheatley once said “There is no power for change greater than community discovering what it cares about.” Community is the foundation on which all great change is built upon. This is why at IDEAS For Us we seek to encourage and uplift one another to protect the environment in which we live and love. ⠀
