      My life has been full of thoughts of the environment and the future it has on the world.

      A world of less pollution is a World of good health and a world of good wealth, actions and in actions about the environment has millions of questions to ask and of course millions of solutions. But how does Culture affect the environment? My culture, your culture and our culture have pros and cons depending on how you view it from a perspective.

In the ancient culture, many were bathed from the calabash, women used the calabash as bras, we also used the calabash to harvest produce, store food, prepare local dish and even use it as take away for local snacks, we used the calabash to produce music and we also trade calabash for money. Production of calabash was as simple as sowing the seed and taking care of the geminated plant to grow, the leaves of the plants covers the entire space making it look green and preventing the land from being heated and as a result, no erosion or washing of the top-most part of the soil. The calabash protected most soil for years while at the same time, used for so many artifacts including design, roofing of local houses serving as wind breaks and for beautification purposes. Today, many people have forgotten of the famous calabash because plastics have
