A youth-led communication and project management company, Buzz&Bants Africa, will on Thursday, June 5, 2025, launch a creative environmental campaign titled Trash To Art.
This initiative is in commemoration of World Environment Day 2025, aimed at combating plastic pollution through artistic expression and community action.
It will serve as a leading example of how local initiatives can creatively address global issues.
As one of Nigeria’s contributions to this year’s World Environment Day, the campaign is positioned to highlight the powerful intersection between environmental advocacy, artistic expression, and grassroots participation.
A statement from the firm said the event will hold from 10:30 am to 2:00 pm in Shomolu, Lagos, with a community plastic clean-up and conclude with an inspiring art exhibition.
The showcase will feature original pieces created by ND students from the Art Department of Yaba College of Technology (Yabatech), made from over 70 per cent recycled plastic materials.
The campaign aligns with this year’s global theme, #EndingPlasticPollution, and aims to spotlight creative approaches to sustainability.
A PR Associate at Buzz&Bants Africa, Ms Rashidat Raji, disclosed that the project began on May 27 with student registrations and art creation workshops.
The campaign also includes collaboration with community leaders in Shomolu and support from the Yabatech Art Department, reinforcing the role of educational and grassroots institutions in climate action.
“Trash To Art is not just a campaign, it’s our bold response to a global crisis. We are combining environmental action with creative expression to engage young people, elevate sustainability, and bring the World Environment Day theme to life in our local communities,” Ms Raji, a spokesperson for the campaign, stated.
