It is our duty to protect nature

Editor, It’s with great pleasure that I applaud the efforts of Rwanda’s environment sector, who will be hosting this year’s World Environment Day. It has achieved great progress in terms of making the general public into responsible caretakers of the environment. The commitment shown every last Saturday of the month has finally paid off; Umuganda, the  tree planting exercises and the ban on plastic bags are some of the reasons that have helped Rwanda  become the global 2010 host of the World Environment Day .
