It still is a beautiful world but for the degradation. People just have to realize that whatever they do with their environment impacts directly on their present and their future. When we throw garbage out we feel freed yet the flies it breeds come right back to see. At a greater dimension, when we clear forests the effects are felt not just by others but by us too. When we pollute the air or water or soil, we all suffer the consequences, Climate change is accelerated by human activities and we are all suffering from its effects. Think. Is there anything I am doing that is degrading the environment? Even watching as it is degraded is wrong. I must therefore do everything possible to protect my environment and keep it beautiful if only for my own good. So help me God

Today
Today I visited one of the so called "high end" parts of my city and I couldn't help comparing the environment with that in the "other end.". Yes I appreciate that some members of society pay more in taxes than others but our constitution bestows upon us the right to a clean and healthy environment equally. So why are they sweeping the roads in one area while rivers of raw sewage crisscross streets in another right next to food kiosks and houses. Yes our constitution also holds each of us responsible for keeping our environment clean but look, it seems to me that the eye of those concerned goes"blind" more often in some places than in others. Where are the relevant authorities to sensitize Kenyans about the importance of a good environment and enforce the laws that are already in place? Meanwhile, it starts with me and you. We don't have to wait until we have water borne diseases like Cholera and Typhoid and diseases of the respiratory system Br...
ABOUT US
C.E.R over the years has strived to achieve its objectives through termly workshops that empower children with capacity to create an adequate Environmental awareness. We have continued to promote afforestation and reafforestation in schools and at our Children's Forest at Prisons Stuff and Training College Ruiru. One of our main projects is the One Child One Tree Afforestation Campaign (OCOTAC) that helps promote a tree planting culture through children. This has happened in various schools in Ruiru, Makueni, Nakuru and Ley Hill Primary School in Birmingham U.K. It enables them to appreciate how valuable trees are as they enhance biodiversity and maintain integrity of the land, combat global warming and reduce our air conditioning costs. With the great help of our collaborators like NEMA, AFEW, KUCOEP, Ruiru Sub-County we have planted over 30,000 trees in various schools. Our clean Environment activities have taught children the relationship between cleanliness and hea...
Saving children and their environment..
Rescuing children and their environment is and has been my calling and my passion. I dream of contributing in my own small way to ensuring that our children inherit, a clean, healthy and secure environment that can support sustainable livelihoods. I am committed to creating environmental awareness in our children so that they will appreciate its value. I trust that thereafter, they will conserve and maximally exploit the potential of a good environment for peaceful lives where every body's needs are met. Our environment today. Much of the environment in Africa has until the recent past been clean and the air fresh especially in the rural areas. Our urban areas are quite another story. In Kenya, the right to a clean and healthy environment is enshrined in article 42 of chapter 2 of our constitution but our urban environments are far from clean and healthy. In article 69 however we are all required to cooperate with state organs and other persons to protect and conser...
