3. INTRODUCTION
Environmental issues in Lagos are one of the most critical problems
facing its communities. A very big part of this problem is because of
the bad attitude by the communities themselves. The problem is
getting out of hand and it is affecting people’s health.
Now that Lagos is the most polluted city in Nigeria, this epidemic has
the potential to become worse if not contained and eradicated.
Hence the THINK GREEN project is focused on helping communities
understand simple methods in which we can eventually have a
sustainable environment.
