The Story Of Us - LEARNBLUE 'Global'
the beginning
From Allergies to Action
Late 2018, our founder, Joshua discovered he had severe allergies to pollution fumes and other air pollutants. Upon researching the global impact of pollutants especially Nigerians’ health, he learned that over 100,000 people in his country died from air pollution and related complications each year.
The action
1 Tweet, 1 Million Reach
In 2019, our founder co-pioneered and lead a campaign to raise awareness on environmental pollution in his community on Twitter and Facebook, reaching over 1.5 Million people on social media within two weeks and inspired a series of cleanups, (#ForACleanerNation) leading to recycling over 400000 pounds of non-biodegradable waste in Lagos, Nigeria.
What Next?

Our Brand Name
What is 'LEARNBLUE'?
The noun, LEARNBLUE was created to encompass all that we aim to achieve as an organisation. ‘LEARN’ depicts unconventional education, awareness, and advocacy (all of which are primary actions in our mission).
‘BLUE’ however was chosen to represent the tone and attributes of our Generation Z, we chose Vivid Blue a bold, yet calm colour often mistaken for purple, connoting the Gen Z way of defying norms.
