Surrounded by excited children, Bono helped plant saplings as part of an environmental intiative project in Tokyo this week. Slipping on a pair of gloves, the 48-year-old Dubliner knelt on the ground and got to work with a shovel.While the globe-trotting musician and campaigner kept the delighted youngsters entertained by holding a spade accessorised with his ubiquitous sunglasses in front of his face, he had a serious message for the adults present, encouraging them to speak out about the environmental issues concerning them. In the Japanese capital to attend an international conference on African development, Bono was also presented with an honorary doctorate from Keio University, in recognition of his efforts to stamp out poverty in the developing world. Arriving at the university he exchanged hi-fives with excited students who'd turned out to catch a glimpse of their internationally famous guest!!!
