In Uganda today, green financing is not just a climate conversation; it is an economic opportunity. It offers a practical way to invest in businesses that are both more resilient and more profitable. -Catherine Psomgen - Director of Public Sector and Social Investment, @PSF_Uganda

What happened to the ban? Was it abandoned, forgotten, or simply never enforced?
A cleaner Uganda requires more than policy announcements. It requires consistent enforcement, affordable alternatives, public awareness, &accountability from manufacturers, traders,& consumers alike.
The problem has never been a lack of laws; is weak enforcement, limited alternatives, & inconsistent political will. Today, plastic waste continues to clog drainage systems, worsen flooding, pollute wetlands,and degrade the environment that sustains our economy and public health.
What happened to the ban on polythene bags in Uganda?
Uganda banned thin polythene bags (commonly known as buveera) years ago, yet they remain everywhere—from markets and shops to drainage channels and wetlands.
@UNEP@RebeccaNassuuna The real climate challenge is not a lack of money, but where the money goes. We must stop financing destruction and start rewarding conservation.
Protecting nature with billions while destroying it with trillions is like trying to fill a bucket full of holes. Time to fix this!
The world spends billions to protect nature, yet trillions still fund its degradation.
This imbalance is driving climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution.
But it can be reversed.

The fight against plastic pollution starts with us. What we throw away does not disappear—it ends up in our environment, our water, our food chain, and ultimately our bodies. Choose reusable alternatives, reduce waste, and protect our planet for future generations. 🌱♻️
But Ugandans, can we really copy Japan? The things that make Japan remarkable aren’t found in textbooks. They’re habits, values, and attitudes practiced daily by ordinary people.
A los japoneses siempre se les ve en las tribunas con objetos azules.
Son bolsas de basura infladas. Les sirven para dar color y también de percusión para alentar. Y luego, al final, las utilizan para recoger la basura que queda en el estadio, como hicieron hoy vs Países Bajos.
Su equipo juega como Supercampeones y sus hinchas son tipazos totales.
Selección totalmente querible. Japón💙
I asked Japan fans what the deal is with these trash bags they’re waving.
They’re actually functional trash bags. Everyone brings them to cheer during and clean up after themselves after.
Very on brand with Japan culture. easiest stadium cleanup Dallas has ever seen incoming
@GfedGoCrazy Cultural superiority indeed! The Japanese have built a culture of discipline, excellence, and collective responsibility that many nations can only admire.
