Chibeze, why did you select this particular climate thought leader to interview? اس کے بارے میں آپ کو کس چیز نے متاثر کیا۔?
Gibson’s work approach is very similar to my work in Ghana, particularly regarding his strategy in communicating climate change. I’m inspired by how he carefully considers the best way to get the attention of people to accept the concept and impact of climate change by sharing real problems that the people can easily relate to. مثال کے طور پر, since a lot of people are engaged in small or subsistence farming, he uses the changes in rainfall patterns and water scarcity to educate them as a key climate change effect potentially caused by human activities.
Another act of inspiration is how he sees opportunities in existing challenges such as people having health-related problems as a result of using kerosene lamps to study. He felt producing clean energy sources would be a great option as a solution. Even though he initially didn’t have the requisite knowledge and skills to embark on such an endeavor, he started using common sense by collecting mother-boards of old electronics from the rubbish dump and attempted to assemble them into power banks. It didn’t work as expected but he never gave up! He took advantage of an opportunity from a telecompany that offered “free” midnight internet service to research more about how to produce power banks. اس عمل میں, he discovered that lithium ion batteries can be used to charge mobile phones and produce power banks. ایک بار پھر, while university students were having problems with their laptop batteries frequently, he seized the opportunity to learn how to recycle laptop batteries. As a result of his in-depth knowledge, جذبہ, resilience and commitment, he is now providing battery solutions for electric bikes in Tanzania, power banks, solar lamps, and street lights. He’s even now producing WAGA parts that can power a household.
آپ کے انٹرویو کے بارے میں آپ کو کس چیز نے سب سے زیادہ حیران کیا۔?
What surprised me most is that Gibson, in spite of his amazing work and recognition at a very young age, operates from a very small garage. He’s also a musician, music producer and develops documentaries. He used to be called WANTED because old people were crowding at his garage to solve their problems.
کیا ہیں 3 main takeaways for the Net Zero audience from your interview?
I think firstly, it’s never too late to start small.
دوم, believe in your aspiration and work at it.
آخر, always look out for opportunities in the midst of challenges or difficulties.
Thank you Chibeze!
