Equity bank targets to plant more than 35 million trees across the country.
It has already planted 20 million countrywide.
This are in efforts to protect the water catchment areas and forests, facing extinction.
Luanda manager Peter Lubale says in Vihiga county they have done 900,000 seedlings at Maragoli hills, Ebusiekwe hills and other government institutions, since 2019.
He spoke at the bank during customer service week on Tuesday.
Lubale urged Vihiga residents to invest heavily in environmental friendly cooking appliances as a way of combating climate change.
He said modern cooking appliances will reduce carbon emissions destroying the ozone layer.
The official said the war against climate change continues to intensify as various stakeholders address the challenge from the county, national and global levels.
He further urged residents to plant more environmental friendly trees for continued farming and protection of water towers.
"We can't ignore exotic trees but we must establish a place to plant them, for the sake of lumbering and logging. We can't just do away with them for the sake of the environment," Lubale said.
Lubale said if issues related to climate change are not dealt with properly, it will cripple Kenyan's economy.
"Our economy is pegged on business and agriculture, once climate change hits the two, we are done as a nation," he said.
The official said the effects hitting semi arid areas and low lands can be mitigated to combat further losses.
"Once low lands have been hit with floods it's a clear indicator nothing will take place in those areas in terms of farming. Same to coastal regions where the hotel industry will be hit badly," he said.
Lubale said once the hotel industry is struggling it opens doors for sacking of staff and stifles the sector.
