89% of Ocean Floor Plastics Are Single-Use, Study Finds

As climate challenges grow more urgent, so must our willingness to rethink how technology fits into the broader puzzle. AI can be part of the solution — but only if we build the groundwork thoughtfully and inclusively

Protecting the ocean is not an act of charity — it is self-preservation. Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), when managed properly, offer one of the clearest examples of this.

Caring for the environment isn’t about saving some abstract concept called “nature.” It’s about restoring a relationship. One we broke. One we keep trying to patch up with climate conferences and carbon credits.

Every tree matters. Not just in forests, but in our neighborhoods, our schools, our roadsides. Trees don’t just belong to national parks—they belong to all of us, and we to them.

According to the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), we need to achieve a reduction of 11.7 gigatons of carbon dioxide equivalent per year by 2030 to limit global warming effectively.

Trees are flowers. The sight of trees often brightens the landscape and makes everything look beautiful. However, in the context of their role as carbon captures, trees should not be planted solely for aesthetic reasons.

Despite the constant reminders, our actions toward the planet show little sign of improvement.

It doesn't matter if you plant a mugumo tree in a national park or a mango tree in your compound. Because one day you'll sit beneath its shade and be glad that you contributed.

In Kenya, the arrival of March rains marks the beginning of the long rains season, a vital period for farmers to plant various crops including maize, beans, and vegetables. But with climate change altering rainfall patterns, farmers are facing a new set o

Take a moment to marvel at the complex network of ecosystems, where each animal plays a crucial role in maintaining the fragile balance of nature. From the bees that pollinate our crops to the humus that enriches our soil, and the predators that regulate

The film ‘Extrapolations’, created by Scott Z. Burns for Apple TV+, depicts how the world would come to a breaking point due to the effects of climate change.

Biogas stands as a promising solution to combat climate change and enhance energy security, offering a sustainable and renewable energy source that benefits both our environment and society.

Fossil fuels currently account for 80% of the global energy supply, releasing around 75% of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Chief among these is carbon dioxide, which traps heat from the sun, leading to global warming and its associated impacts.

Clean air is a human right. The United Nations General Assembly formally declared this right in 2022, following the UN Human Rights Council's recognition of the right to a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment in 2021.

It is exactly 3:23 am writing this piece. I have lost sleep, thinking about the world, and how its ending. I had to wake up, because, whatever you are about to read is very important. So, please take a moment, and read this, it is for your own good. I pro

Among the long-term goals of the Paris Climate Agreement is to formulate and submit low greenhouse gas emissions. This development strategy would need significant financial and technological assistance to be effectively achieved in Kenya. This is not only

Destroying trees to make room for agriculture is one of the justifications that humans have been using as an excuse. But can agroecology solve that problem? Yes. It is a matter of choice. You can choose not to cut trees. You can also decide to grow trees

Isiolo residents, many of whom depend on livestock for their livelihood, are bearing the brunt of this disaster. The loss of pasture means their animals have no food and this directly affects their income and sustenance. This is not just an environmental

For generations, it has been making its weather, generating some of its rainfall, which in turn keeps itself cool. It has also been stabilizing regional temperatures.

Nitrous oxide has emerged as a leading ozone-depleting substance resulting from human activities. This potent greenhouse gas is generated by coal power plants, industrial emissions, and vehicle exhaust. At elevated concentrations, nitrous oxide contribute

According to a study by Global Change Biology, poorly planned tree planting could actually increase CO2 emissions and have long-term impacts on biodiversity, landscapes and livelihoods.

According to research documented in books and movies, extreme temperatures could lead to the end of the world in ways that might prove irreversible. Poor air quality, heat waves, floods and rising sea levels may plague the planet.

The greenhouse gases emitted on our way to “ushago” play a crucial role in dismantling the ozone layer, welcoming the sun’s harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation.

COP29, dubbed the ‘Finance COP,’ had a primary agenda of determining financing for developing, climate-vulnerable countries to combat climate change. Expectations are that by the end of COP29 (November 22, 2024), developed nations will lead in providing $

A major reason why some leaders may choose to stay away is the pressure they face from powerful industries. Many world leaders are heavily influenced by fossil fuel industries, which have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo.

#COP29 is nothing more than a smokescreen, pretending to care while ignoring real action. It's time we demand genuine efforts, not empty promises.

Traffic noise and car exhaust pollution are common issues in cities, which can make exercising less enjoyable and potentially dangerous for your health. The difference between my calm run and the bustling cityscape highlighted how important green places a
