Hey! SEPSiL has just signed this petition telling governments around the world to make polluters pay. We demand stronger, permanent taxes on these polluters to fund renewable energy and lower our bills. Only takes a minute to read the petition and add your name.

World Environment Day provides a great moment for all to reflect on our actions that have brought the world to where it is today. A moment for communities to have a rethink of our actions that are affecting our livelihoods, our health, and our safety. A moment for policymakers to take decisive actions to reduce the hash impacts of climate change on vulnerable communities.

On this day, the Society on Environmental Pollution in Sierra Leone (SEPSiL) calls on all to realise the current harsh realities of climate change on vulnerable communities. Let us collaborate to save the sinking islands like Banana Island in Sierra Leone. Let us collaborate to save ourselves from the heatwave that is killing the most vulnerable people, especially children and the aged with serious underlying health conditions. Let us collaborate to save our terrestrial and marine ecosystems and the valuable biodiversity therein. Let us collaborate to save our livelihoods, our health and safety.

Today, SEPSiL brings you a video in which one of our members, David Joseph Allieu makes a passionate appeal to all to save our wetlands from all forms of environmental pollution.

Together, we can do all of these!

Happy 65th Independence Day message from SEPSiL!

On this memorable occasion of Sierra Leone, the Society on Environmental Pollution in Sierra Leone (SEPSiL) extends warm greetings to all Sierra Leoneans at home and abroad.

As we celebrate our nation’s hard-earned freedom and unity, we are reminded that true independence also means safeguarding the natural environment that sustains our lives and future. Our forests, oceans, rivers, and communities are vital treasures that deserve protection, care, and responsible stewardship.

SEPSiL calls on every citizen, institution, and partner to renew their commitment to environmental sustainability, pollution control, and climate resilience. Together, we can build a cleaner, healthier, and more prosperous Sierra Leone for present and future generations.

Let this Independence Day inspire collective action towards preserving our beautiful nation.

Happy Independence Day! 🇸🇱
