SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT

Earth is all we have in common and we will never progress if we don't change our ignorance towards Environmental conservation. Improper solid waste management endangers our health and safety, causes air pollution, blocks our sewer systems, endangers marine life and pollutes quality of soil. This limits the sustainability of resources to our future. 
Overpopulation and advancement in technology has led to the increase of waste generation. People have become more consumer oriented and will dispose waste they produce without acknowledging the dangers it imposes. Major world disasters happening today eg the Australia wild fires are happening due to our negligence to conserve Nature. 
Some of the strategies we can use to minimise waste is by recycling used bottles and plastic bags, composting kitchen remains into nutrients rich in soils for quality agricultural produce, reusing old shopping bags and bottles. Always be helpful in providing information on our depleting Resources to help people join the conservation initiative. Through our stewardship and protecting our resources, Nature will sustain not only our needs but that of the future.

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 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...

 Environmental anarchy in our society. Apathy towards our environment,  mismanagement of waste, poor or non implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws and regulations by relevant authorities are more detrimental to Kenyans than climate change.   On any one day, somewhere in Kenya, an environmental disaster happens.   Somebody has been electrocuted by exposed live wires,  a child has fallen into an open pit or from an ill secured balcony in an apartment building , construction workers or tenants have fallen from a collapsing building, mine or quarry walls have caved in on workers, killer roads and other good developments that are completely insensitive to the needs and well being of the human beings whose lives they are meant to improve,     not to mention the invisible and incessant air, water, soil and noise pollution as well as garbage.  These injustices happen right under the eyes of relevant authorities, although " a clean...
