We who believe in environment sustainability don't stop believing because the answer we yearn for hasn't yet come. We keep believing. In fact, National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) believes even more that Ugandans shall soon embrace the best environment management practices these students are sharing.

If we did all the handsome things we are capable of doing, we would literally astound ourselves with a big beautiful universal environment. Kyambogo University students do amazing things under their Environmental Hub. What have you done/plan to do today in conserving our nature?

Mother Teresa once said, in support of environmental sustainability: “I only feel angry when I see waste. When I see people throwing away things we could use.” In the same spirit, National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) believes garbage can be reused or repurposed to serve today, and to benefit generations.

The successful Save River Rwizi Run which took place Sunday July 30, with proceeds going towards cleaning and restoring the river, should invigorate our resolve to protect not only Rwizi but also other water bodies within our localities. Let us save all water sources for life.

IT IS POSSIBLE: In the pictures, Mpugwe Primary School shows that used plastics can be reshaped and repurposed for better use. The school donated these eye-catching dustbins to Mpugwe Market. Kudos to the school for this environmentally-friendly innovation. National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) appreciates.

Environment management in Uganda is a decentralised function. But all of us have a responsibility to protect and take care of this one earth that feeds and houses us. NEMA has a mandate but individuals should have a fast behavioural change. Disbanding NEMA is no solution.

Good for National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) to work with men and women in uniform to manage our environment. They need to know about the EIA process, management of lakeshores, river banks, biotechnology and biosafety advancements, wetland degradation, and much more. These are helpful stakeholders...go on

This is a very powerful message. African negotiators in the area of plastic pollution, and myself, have just had an engagement at Sheraton Kampala Hotel. Many meaningful ideas have been shared, and Africa will definitely speak with one voice on plastics going forward.
