This money is to be ring-fenced and put towards green initiatives, such as diverse afforestation, creation of solar power, and wind power farms, hydroelectric, and other renewable energy sources. To promoting the disuse of non-recyclables, and advocating the use of greener alternatives where possible and plausible.
