To color the world green, we need to be creative and try every idea that can improve the lives of people and the planet

They say “Necessity is the Mother of invention” but who’s the Father of invention?

Creativity is the Father of invention and the most interesting thing is that everyone is creative
We all are rich in diverse creative potentials and it's only if we unleash our creativity that we can be able to tackle some of the world’s most complex environmental challenges. We all have amazing ideas and it's only when we turn our ideas into realities that we can be able to see the change we seek.

This week, our green quote focuses on transforming all your ideas and unleashing your creativity and how we can use our ideas and creativity to tackle some of the World’s most complex environmental issues.
Some of our creative projects include;

The upcycling of plastic bottles into UPB Vertical Gardens
The upcycling of plastic bottles into UPB Tree Nursery Pots
The upcycling of tires into erosion embankments
The upcycling of tires into Mushroom Tire Seats
The upcycling of textile waste to diverse products at @ecodesigns

unleash your ideas and creativity, make things happen
