Mr Andrews, in an address to the media, therefore called for a comprehensive and more punitive environmental policy backed by law to deter perpetrators and protect the environment.

“Because of climate change, our rainfall pattern has changed and sometimes the main raining season turns to be minor season, our weather changes frequently, and it often floods during the dry season without notice,” he said.

“If we do not stop this paradigm, the time will come when we run out of food, water and other amenities which help to us to live on this plant as human-beings, hence the need for a paradigm shift on climate change,” he maintained.
Aside from the policy, the environmental advocate insisted that Ghana must make more efforts to recycle its plastic wastes to save the environment and stimulate the economy.

Beyond that, he said citizens needed more education to change their destructive attitudes towards the environment.
He entreated offenders to stop endangering the environment, destroying waters result and engaging in sand mining and instead grow more trees and food crops.
“As a people, it is about time to change our attitudes towards the environment because climate change is a shared responsibility.
“We need to limit our use of single-use plastics, stop cutting down trees indiscriminately, avoid dumping refuse into gutters, and put a stop to the pollution of our rivers,” he said.

Mr Andrews appealed to government to support who Ghanaian business or entrepreneurs to stimulate the economy and reduce Ghana’s dependency on importation.
