Beating plastic pollution
Taasa Obutonde, Next Media's flagship campaign, aims to address the dangers of irresponsible plastic use and its adverse effects on the environment, human health, and wildlife, with a focus on the role of Ugandans in combating this issue. Through this campaign, Next Media has consistently highlighted the importance of responsible plastic usage and waste management practices.
In tandem with Taasa Obutonde, Next Media launched the ambitious 15 Million Trees campaign, which seeks to address deforestation and promote reforestation efforts nationwide. By planting 15 million trees, the campaign aims to enhance biodiversity, combat climate change, and safeguard Uganda's natural heritage.
The recognition at the Rotary Leadership Conference highlights the success of Next Media's sustainability initiatives and underscores the collaborative efforts of the company and its partners. Kariisa extended his appreciation to all stakeholders who have supported and contributed to the Taasa Obutonde and 15 Million Trees campaigns.
Next Media remains steadfast in its commitment to environmental conservation and looks forward to furthering its impact through innovative sustainability initiatives.
