He asked schools authorities to inculcate into school children the habit of environmental cleanliness.

Mr Baffour Akwasi Oppong, National Chairman of the GNASBA said the campaign, would involve general clean-ups, tree planting and public education on and environment and sanitation.
He said the Association has planted 100,000 tree seedlings in all the 104 districts in the country, created awareness on environmental protection and waste management in schools.
Mr Oppong thanked Fan Milk Limited for supporting the campaign regularly which he said was making significant impact on the people.

He said about 100,000 pupils, students and teachers were expected to take part in the programme this year.
Mr Kwasi Attuah said “We believe we can instil good sanitation practices into students and pupils so that they will grow with it”, he stressed.
Pupils and students were mobilised from 20 public and private schools in the Hohoe Municipality.
They weeded busy areas and distilled choked gutters at the Hohoe Municipal hospital, main market and around the Municipal Assembly area.
