  4. its indeed the responsibility of every one to take care of the environment. The effects of environmental change can not be overemphasized, among others, erratic rainfall, increase in temperature, floods etc. the aforementioned effects leads to other problems such as drought which also give birth to hunger that Malawi is grappling with right now. Lets be responsible in the way we manage our waste products, cultivation, application of chemicals, deforestation, overgrazing, gas emission, etc
