@JamesWakibia @NakuruCountyGov @NemaKenya @UPOPsKe @KajiadoGov & Kisumu are banking on our Zero Waste to Dumpsite model, where we manage all the waste at source. The #organicwaste is used in #biogas & #fertiliser production, plastic & glass waste is used in making building blocks & the wet waste is incinerated.@NakuruCountyGov

Mercury vapour and UPOPs emissions are released from several processes and are among air pollutants responsible for the estimated 7 million premature deaths from air pollution.

It's on us to ensure proper handling and disposal of waste to prevent air pollution!

The training increased knowledge on the @kdfinfo personnel, thus reducing the rate of solid waste generation to meet Army waste reduction goals through promotion of 3Rs of waste.

[Dr. D O SS' PhD @David_Wando]

Completed a regional training of @kdfinfo personnel on Mainstreaming waste management & control of UPOPs in military Cantonments. partnership with @theGEF @UNDP @Environment_Ke @GreenBeltMovmnt with a view to cascading successes to the wider community

[CEJAD KENYA @CEJADKenya]

A new legally binding global treaty must hold polluters legally , financially accountable, provide remedies to affected communities, mitigate the toxic impacts plastics and their toxic additives , particularly on communities that are the least responsible for plastic production.

[Ayub Macharia @ayubmacharia]

Current fragmented efforts, commitments and initiatives can only contribute to a reduction in annual rates of ocean plastic pollution of 7 per cent by 2040, hence a new global legally binding agreement on plastics is necessary @Environment_Ke @NemaKenya @mazingirasafe

[Benard Ogembo @benogeh]

There is need for a collaborative and actionable approach to address the global plastics 'wicked' multiplicity of challenges , such as its ubiquity, its persistence in nature, and the cross-boundary effects of plastic pollution. #RethinkPlastics #LessPlastics2022
