It’s high time to think more about the fossil fuels that go into making plastic products. The plastic industry is on track to produce enough emissions to put the world on track for a catastrophic warming. We need to #fightfor1point5 #EndPlasticPollution

The first ever Kenyan made electronic system for PET #plastics recovery has better prospects of going mainstream in Uganda than Kenya due to bureaucracies in the Kenyan plastic value chain.

♻️A plastic world will destroy our ecosystems and hurt us even more in the long run!

We cannot keep consuming plastic at this rate! We must live and shop sustainably.

Our way of life – based on producing, consuming & polluting – has brought us a triple planetary crisis.

And even in a time of global belt tightening, humanity still needs 1.6 planets to sustain itself.

We need a green pandemic recovery.

We need to #BuildBackGreener.

A bit too anxious today to join my town's #ClimateStrike, so I'm there in spirit from home among my trees. There are many many ways to create change in the world & show your support.

This morning we met with the Swedish embassy in Uganda to discuss #SaveBugomaForest Campaign. We're happy that the embassy together with @EUinUG are closely following.
Details to follow.

Closing open dumpsites and moving towards sustainable waste management systems is key to achieving #CleanAirForAll.

In the last 10 years, governments have closed some of the most polluted landfills in Latin America & the Caribbean to #BeatPollution ⤵️

Uganda's biggest rainforest-Mabira is also at risk.

The Nagojje Community is however working with the Uganda Forest Authority @NFAUG to save the forest from degradation.

Here is how @unredd is supporting local communities to save Mabira forest.

Today is #EarthOvershootDay, the date when humanity has used more from nature than our 🌍 can renew in the entire year.

We face a triple crisis of
🔵 Climate change
🔵 Nature loss
🔵 Pollution

We need to reboot how we live, move & eat.

We need to #MoveTheDate.

“If we want a clean ocean🌊, we must change our behavior on shore.”

A new @theGEF-supported project in South Africa aims - through increased litter collection, waste sorting and recycling - to reduce litter generation at its source for #CleanSeas.

Impressive!
This company in Cameroon 🇨🇲 is turning plastic bottles into boats. Providing capable vessels for local fishermen. Let’s beat plastic pollution.
