Our Environment, Our Home.

Think Green is a youth-led environmental movement from Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. We plant trees, clean beaches, and work with schools so young people can look after the places they live.

How it started

Think Green began as a small student club picking up litter in Dar es Salaam. It has grown into a community movement where young people, children, women, and whole neighbourhoods plant, clean, and learn together.

The name is what we ask of everyone: think of the environment as home, then act like it.
