Mali artist turns buses into climate warnings on wheels

In Bamako, Mali, an artist transforms a public minibus into a colorful rolling message on the need to protect our environment and address rising temperatures. Painter Drissa Konaté uses bold murals to contrastdeforestation and air pollution with the vital role trees play in absorbing CO₂ and purifying the air. Alongside a poetry slam performance, the initiative engages local audiences and sparks dialogue about changing weather patterns, urban emissions, and sustainable habits. By promoting public transport and creative expression, this grassroots effort is inspiring younger generations to rethink their environmental impact and take action for a cleaner future.
