To fight against this number one problem he has been doing sensibilisation on the protection of play ground, packs, air pollution. And the importants of the planting of trees and the disadvantages of deforestation on social media platforms, meeting up with government officials, organising seminars, workshops, planting of trees, fighting against deforestation, attending conferences worldwide to talk about climate change, etc. This is because Temfack believes if we want this problem to be eradicated, then we all have to be at the front set of the solution, my vision is that by 2030 as seen by the UN agenda for sustainable development goals (SGDs) climate change should be a story of the past. Deforestation, construction of companies in urban areas (towns), Flotte, Air pollution. We all have to fight for this and every one needs to play their role for this to work.
