Keeping faith with nature
Three childhood experiences set me on the course to working to restore degraded land through helping to connect people to nature. My mother’s strong and unwavering faith helped me to appreciate that life was about more than what we could accumulate in the present and that we could trust a loving heavenly father for all our needs. The abuse of beautiful forests and mountain streams seemed to be an expression of greed and disregard for future generations. Watching news programs showing children just like me going hungry seemed mad in a world of plenty.
Beating pollution by redesign
Over 8 million tons of plastic pollute the oceans each year. The problem is so severe that if nothing changes there could be more plastic than fish in the sea by 2050. We must urgently rethink how we make and use this ubiquitous material now a staple of our modern economy. The appetite to take action is real: public and private sector financial commitments to combat ocean pollution made at the European Union's Our Ocean conference this year for instance totalled 7.2 billion euros. Yet if cleaning up is a short-term necessity only a whole system reset will provide a long-term solution to plastics pollution and the economic losses associated with it.
A clean environment for all
The world’s governments have pledged to build a better future where no one is left behind yet the most basic conditions for people to survive and thrive are out of reach for many. Over 90 per cent of us breathe dirty air and over 90 per cent of those who die as a result are in low- and middle- income countries with women and young children disproportionally affected.
Regaining ground
Over hundreds of years industrial activities including mining chemical production manufacturing of consumer goods and agriculture introduced pollutants into the soil contaminating it along with groundwater often over large areas. Past practices were different from today's: waste was dumped in an uncontrolled way or used in applications that are no longer acceptable while unabated emissions to air and water had widespread impacts on surrounding populations and the environment.
Waste not …
The consumer goods industry has entered an era of responsibility where companies consumers governments and non-governmental organizations are collaborating more and more frequently to address some of the biggest challenges facing the world. We now have a better understanding of the wide-ranging impacts of the manufacture and use of consumer goods. Companies like Procter & Gamble are continually refining their approach to developing manufacturing and marketing products more responsibly and encouraging mindful consumption of the everyday products that many of us often take for granted.
The weight of cities
How do we prepare for the doubling of the global urban population by 2050? By dramatically rethinking urbanism and its governance. That means designing cities for people not cars; allowing everyone access to urban opportunities; investing in resource-efficient buildings transport energy water and waste systems; and enabling cities to experiment and to learn from each other.
Clearing the air
Humankind's future will largely be decided in cities. Half the world's population already lives in them and by 2050 this will have risen to 70 per cent. Cities are where global challenges and problems are concentrated: they consume three quarters of the world's resources and generate three quarters of all emissions.
Keeping water fresh
Guaranteeing safely managed clean water and sanitation for everyone remains one of the biggest global challenges that are solvable in our lifetimes. But we must prioritize collaboration and monitoring.
Free of plastic bags
Kenya faces major challenges in waste management. Most urban centres lack basic waste management structures and open dumping is the most popular option. A close look at problematic waste at roadsides rivers dumpsites and most public spaces revealed that polythene bags were most widespread. Scientists claim that polythene bags take over 1000 years to decompose: hence the earliest ones are still with us somewhere in the environment.
Reflections
If pollution was simply about having to put up with a bad odour or some unsightly smog it could be considered tolerable. The sad fact however is that it’s also sending millions to an early grave.
