In September 2021, Mrs Nwanneka Okolo, WUCWO Board Member and President of the Catholic Women Organisation Nigeria (CWON), together with Dr Obiageli Ndu, Chairperson of Iwene Tansi Parish, in Enugu, and Mr Nnamdi Arum, Climate Change Officer in the Ministry of Environment of the Enugu State, were at Radio Nigeria, in Enugu, to sensitise the public on the need to care for the environment with emphasis on reuse, and proper disposal of plastics. It was an interactive session on Laudato si’, with questions from the public.

In addition, CWON women joined with youths and the Permanent Secretary for Environment in the Enugu State Government, South East Nigeria, to sensitise the public on the need to protect our Mother Earth for a sustainable and healthy environment. As early as 7:45 am, the group led by Mrs Okolo and the Permanent Secretary, Barr. Chinwe Amadi, went out to one of the busiest localities in Enugu to pick plastic wastes and debris off the streets. They explained their mission to passers-by and distributed Earth Action fliers.
