Share

The Ministry of Economic Growth and Job Creation (MEGJC) launched its inaugural EcoChampions School Tour at Mt. Alvernia High School, in Montego Bay, St. James recently.

Students from eight schools across the parish, as well as Trelawny participated in the ceremony.

They were educated and empowered to take action toward environmental sustainability by focusing on critical areas, such as water conservation, reforestation, and waste management.

The event featured an expo with displays and activities from key environmental and resource-focused agencies, including the National Water Commission (NWC), Forestry Department, National Environment and Planning Agency (NEPA), and others.

These agencies shared insights and tools to encourage students to adopt eco-friendly practices.
