Abstract :
The 21st Century has undeniably come with many challenges and demands that require a lot of critical thinking, creativeness, ingenuity and innovative engagement with the ever mutating environment. The nature of the volatility and dynamism within the environment cannot be mistaken. It is apparent to the extent that progressive minds commit to developing an appropriate chemistry that ensures that the people and environment co-exist, notwithstanding the view that, ‘it is man who needs the environment and not the other way: the environment does not need man.’ Since the environment is continuously in motion making the variables mutate at terrific speeds and difficult to deal with man has to rise to a point were applies himself so as to understand the environment as it evolves. In this vein Tofler (2016:24), aver that, ‘… those that will be illiterate in the 21st Century are not only these who cannot read and write, but these who cannot unlearn, learn and relearn.’ These are thus, the components that make innovation possible even as the existence to problems threaten to cloud the chances for improving on the green and novel inventions that many scholars in Zimbabwe are producing to improve the survival and growth of their communities. This study thus revealed that there is a lot man has to do in order to sufficiently understand the environment. The study concludes that man should continuously engage in learning so as to come up with innovative ideas that seek to develop interventions that address societal challenges.
