Waste Colonialism: Who Bears the Cost of Plastic Waste?

The world now produces about 2.3 billion tonnes of waste every year, and this could grow to 3.8 billion tonnes by 2050 if things do not change. Around 19 to 23 million tonnes of plastic waste also end up in rivers, lakes, and oceans each year, harming ani

Climate change is on the rise and we must move quickly and urgently to save our motherland from the looming disaster. The facts are clear, and it is getting scary; the world is getting warmer, big storms and floods are occurring more often, and many kinds

Fertilizer replenishes key nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, which crops extract from the soil each season. For instance, one hectare of maize can absorb more than 40 kilograms of nitrogen and potassium annually. By using fertilizer, far

In an era defined by climate change, future fashion weeks may need to rethink their structure, combining digital and physical shows, reducing unnecessary travel, and publishing clear reports on their carbon footprints.

Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it. However, on the plus side Kenya has learnt its lesson over the years and here are some reforms and strategies to counter this challenge. The government empowers the community.

On the night of September 26, the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) issued a notice: Lake Nakuru National Park would not be part of the free-entry celebration. No explanation. No justification. Just a line in a presser: “Customers with prepaid eCitizen tickets

Now, cats don't just exist but are adored. They are Simba, Luna, or Tofu. They have toys, beds, bell collars, and an adoring fan base on social media. City millennials and Gen Zers are happily raising cats, sharing memes about them, and considering them e

Every year, up to 13 million tonnes of plastic end up in the ocean. That's the same as dumping one garbage truck full of plastic into the sea every single minute. Yet, out of all the plastic we make, only 9% is ever recycled.

Africa possess 7,900 GW of solar potential. Over 1,753 GW of hydropower. Wind energy clocks in at 461 GW. Kenya is leading in geothermal. Ethiopia commands hydro. Morocco is taking charge with solar and wind. This isn't potential—it’s power waiting to be

Humans are burning through the planet's biological budget—more CO₂ than forests can absorb, more water than aquifers can replenish, and more fish, trees, and soil than nature can regrow.

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
