A 9-year-old named Dawn Buari organized Nigeria's first Environmental Etiquette Conference for Children at Obafemi Awolowo University. The event taught kids aged 8 to 14 about climate change, plastic recycling, and ocean cleanup through hands-on workshops and interactive characters like Captain Ozone Layer and Mr. Carbon. The goal is to build early climate awareness and practical sustainable habits in young Nigerians. The conference included a plastic recycling masterclass, a book reading about ocean pollution, and a musical performance about a duck lost in a dirty ocean. Children learned that carbon is needed but must stay balanced. The Environmental Etiquette Club for Kids plans to expand with magazines and STEM kits for building climate-friendly model houses.
