Keep Kenya Green & Clean- Stop plastic pollution

[Benard Ogembo @benogeh]

Plastic production & waste have continued to skyrocket. According to scientists, nearly 700 million metric tons of plastic will enter the environment in the next two decades, even with immediate action. What does this mean for #globalplastictreaty? should this worry us? @UNEP.

My opinion article. "Observers warn that the devil is in the details; the hard work of getting enough countries to agree on the scope and provisions of the treaty will be an uphill task and the process could take years to conclude." https://t.co/SUorYASNhB @jameswakibia #unea5.2

Activists and environmental policymakers around the world have called for a broad effort to address plastics pollution, which they say is as much a global problem- Washington Post https://t.co/1NuP5I6Pnl

Plastic is everywhere. It is an essential material in the infrastructure of modern societies. But balancing all of its valuable uses are the problems it creates. Join us this Friday from 11AM-5PM at the Junction Mall as we, document in pictures the Journey of Single-Use Plastics

My colleague & friend @benogeh training waste pickers from different corners of Kenya on the role media plays in advocacy. The meeting being held at a Nairobi hotel is organized by @CEJADKenya.
Waste pickers play an important role in circular economy and they need to be heard.

I am many miles away from the ocean and this image reminds me that what we do here ''away from the oceans'' affects the oceans in tremendous ways. If we change what we do here, the change will flow into the ocean. Let's stop the flow of plastics into the oceans #WorldOceansDay

[James Wakibia @JamesWakibia]

More fracking, more plastic, more freaking problems! 99% of plastic is made from fossil fuels. Only 9% of all plastic ever made globally has been recycled.

Will one day, a river like this flow without trash like plastic, will it ever be free from sewage, will people ever enjoy a cool breeze by its banks, will its waters ever be clean?
We are teaming up with Rotaract Nakuru, @cedgg_2001, @OfficialGwda, others to cleanup Njoro River

Behind splashy announcements & FALSE solutions, Big Brands are working with the fossil fuels industry to produce even more PLASTIC.

Today morning as I enjoyed the sunrise at a beach in Mombasa, I collected 20pieces of plastic litter at a 1x1 metre area. This shows the seriousness of plastic pollution problem in the oceans.

[James Wakibia @JamesWakibia]

Environment & Land Court has ordered the government & two private investors to pay Sh1.3 billion to residents of Owino Uhuru in Mombasa County affected by lead poisoning which emanated from a factory within the area.
