The Archbishop of Lusaka has since called on Zambians to change their attitude towards the environment and nature at large. He was speaking during the on-going Pastoral Council Meeting of the Archdiocese, an annual event for all Pastoral Agents in the Archdiocese of Lusaka.

“People need to play a role in preserving nature as nature speaks about God’s strength, love and might. Also parents, you must teach children the importance of nurturing the environment in order to have a clean and green nation,” He said.
