As part of NGBM pledges to conserve the environment and ecosystem, it's time for our nation to go Nomad Beyond Zero Waste, teach our people to be resourceful and creative in finding proper dumpsite for every item we dispose off as zero waste starts at home. Let's begin to mobilize ourselves at personal level to ensure that our generation will bequeath a legacy of hope to our nation for a sustainable friendly environment.
The big question is: How prepared are we to take responsibilities for our actions? Are we up to the task to join, learn and apply Nomad Beyond Zero Waste & clean up drive on every 3rd Saturday of every month for the sake of our environment?
Besides, there is urgent need to fully implement and enforce environmental laws on waste management in Kenya and all over the world if commitment is inconsistent.
As the long rains have delayed affecting especially the plants or crops which are under strains. The domestic animals are known to feed on paper bags which is detriment to their digestive system leading to their death.
The disorderly act of throwing off empty plastic bottles and paper bags is affecting the environment. They are both dangerous to human, plants and animals. The plastic bags strewn all over once left lying for too long, releases toxics due to the scorching heat, the toxic chemicals affects both human and plants respiratory system. Whether you burn or throw plastic bags, all the chemicals are released which can cause harm to the society.
Just be careful using polythene bags to cover plants. Plants can't breathe when covered with plastic bags -so you can only keep it on there the few hours it's below freezing. If you let the plastic coverings on for too long, plants can overheat fast once the heat of the sun is high.
With ban on use of plastic bags in various cities and increased awareness on the dangers of plastic, people are accepting use of biodegradable materials. A plastic plate is literally 90% air and is easily bendable.
The NGBM launched a beautifully hand woven baskets which are environmentally friendly, provides solution- to replace plastic or paper bags.
As a pilot project NGBM team introduced the use of basket bag to replace paperbags at groceries. The basket bags are economically friendly and cost effective to be used for many years.
