Envirotrackers
We are an environmental conservation organisation in Zimbabwe, focused on preserving the environment.
🌟 Happy November, everyone! 🌟 Can you believe it? We’re already in the second last month of the year! 🎉 As we reflect on our achievements and set our sights on what’s left to accomplish, let’s also take a moment to honor the incredible male figures in our lives.
This month, let’s celebrate by recognizing the vital role men play as protectors and providers—not just for their families but for our planet too. 🌍💚
Men, your responsibility in safeguarding our environment is crucial. Whether it’s advocating for sustainable practices or leading by example in conservation efforts, your actions matter! Let’s make November a month of reflection and action. What will you commit to this month for a healthier planet?
Together, we can create a brighter future! 💪✨
🌟 Welcome to September 2024! 🌟
As we step into the final quarter of the year, let’s renew our commitment to our dreams and goals. Remember, it’s never too late to pursue what sets your heart on fire. This month, let’s focus on making positive changes and forming new habits that lead us to better versions of ourselves.
🧹✨ September is Clean Up Zimbabwe Month! 🌍 Let’s take this opportunity to declutter our spaces and make a conscious effort to keep our surroundings clean. Let’s be the change we wish to see and ensure that we’re not contributing to littering in other people’s spaces.
💚 This month also marks Second Hand September, an initiative by Oxfam to raise awareness about the impact of fast fashion. Embrace sustainable choices and explore the beauty of pre-loved fashion and items. It’s the perfect time to sort through our belongings and clothes we no longer use and consider regifting or donating them.
🌿 Don’t forget: International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer is on the 16th, and World Clean Up Day is on the 21st. Let’s come together to protect our planet and make a tangible difference.
Here’s to a September filled with motivation, positive change, and a cleaner, greener future! 🌱💪
As we say good bye to Plastic free July, we hope you made exciting plastic swaps and you will try by all means to stick to them.
Welcome August, Nyamavhuvhu 🙂. May August blow winds of love. "And the greatest of these is love". Love can change the world. It prompts us to love everything and everyone around us. Through love we can protect the earth and everything in it. August has no environmental days to observe but let's make it the month of exercising love.
P.S: Love includes giving right: why not gift your loved ones reusable shopping bags from us or an indoor plant from us as well which is now under The Plant Village .
Happy new month 🙂 Sixth month of the year already. We hope you are making progress and are ticking stuff off your resolution list for this year. If not it's okay to start now. What is important is starting right!
This month, there are quite a number of days to observe and commemorate. If you haven't manage do something for the environment and for planet Earth since the year started, why not start now...
Have a great June.

Day 31 of 366 Is it too late to wish everyone a happy 2024 🙂. Happy new year fellow Envirotrackers! We hope the start to the year has been encouraging and a glimpse of the beautiful things to be achieved this year. As Envirotrackers, we have quite a number of items lined up for the year: new supplies, campaigns and events. 2024, for our mantra we are riding on Leonardo Da Vinci's quote from 2014. We know what we are supposed to do but we don't do it or we don't apply. We hope it speaks to you as much as it did to us... Let us apply what we know and we must do what we ought to. Happy 2024 again😊
