Mr Sven from south Africa is an environmentalist cycling all the way from the tip of Africa to the top of the continent advocating for climate change effects and trying to stop the extraction of fossil fuels on the continent. I was glad to meet him and hosted him at this time he is in Kenya advocating his activism for a better planet, he is ambassador of our Africa and he said he will be our ambassador for We Dont Have Time in his mission across different African counties, I conquered with this great message from him. "As humans, we are not passengers, we are all crew… Do what you can. where you are, with what you have for our mother earth" Fautley, He advises Africa to highlight the effect of what he calls neocolonialist extraction especially to the fossil fuels companies.... He doesn't fear telling them..."Go solar, or go home,” Sven, has been working with Greenpeace Africa and Extinction Rebellion since 2019 after his riding has seen him lauded by such groups. He is a great vegan supporter who doesn't support food wastage. Keep it up Fautley world 🌍 needs people like you.

These past two weeks, a blistering heat wave has seen the UK break temperature records yet again. With temperatures rising each year around the world, we’re already living in a time when we’re seeing the climate crisis unfolding before us. This should be a moment when political leaders double down on plans to cut emissions -- but instead, they’re on the verge of opening a new era of fossil fuels. That’s why it’s so vital we stop Shell’s Jackdaw field, and that we keep working together to pressure politicians to choose clean energy and to tackle energy waste in UK homes -- instead of choosing more gas and oil. https://www.thenational.scot/politics/19819842.plans-29-new-north-sea-oil-gas-projects-pipeline-despite-cambo-delay/

It's pleasing to see one of our climate dialogue partners @Trees.org have planted one hundred trees for every climate review written in @wedonthavetime. It's very encouraging and great to note every review counts and it means a lot to our planet. I know Trees.org plants and grows trees especially here Africa, which helps a lot of farmers and our environment too. So keep up the good work and all efforts of making our planet a better place! Salutations to all! Let me remind you 5 Reasons Trees are AWESOME! 🌳 Trees have a vast and intelligent underground network of communication. 🌲 Forests have “hubs” or “mother trees” 🌧 Trees literally make it rain by assisting the water cycle 🍃 Tree stumps are still alive and connected underground after a tree is cut down 🐵 Trees are the anchors of terrestrial life There's no connection like the one we have with nature. 🌳 We are not a race, we are a species. We are animals. We are mammals. We are a product of nature. We belong to it and we are a part of it.. When we Plant trees we Plant hope.

Stockholm has gone into the books of records as one of the most impactful cities in the world in terms of sustainability, enriched culture, good vibes, and environmental changes. This was something we used to read in books and watch on television, which seemed like a fiction movie to us until the fateful day when we arrived in the city. Getting a chance to attend and speak at the Stockholm +50 event organized by UNDP, We Don't Have Time and other partners was a dream come true for the Kenyan team led by Mr. Patrick Kiarie the WDHT African representative. Being part of the contributors, speakers, and panelists at the event was a once-in-a-lifetime experience of which we were grateful to be part. We commend the Sweden team for the amazing high-tech summit and broadcast they organized, which displayed their immense level of coordination, planning skills, and social interaction. At a glance, it was clear why Stockholm was considered one of the cleanest cities in the world. The impressive thing about the city is that it has taken pride because it has adopted sustainability and achieved most of its environmental goals and initiatives such as reducing the use of fossil fuels, embracing the use of renewable energy, and reducing conserving its ecosystem. The city has embraced the culture of cycling and the use of fossil-free public transport such as electric trains and metros, and biogas buses, which has reduced the number of vehicles and emissions levels in the city. An increasing number of personal cars and taxis are electric and there are also electric scooters which have eased people’s movements around the city in a clean, eco-friendly way. Volvo, Tesla and Volkswagen were some of the most common car brands that we noticed were electric. Thumbs up to Volvo and Tesla for their good work in enhancing their efforts to create EVs that have a sleek design that is environmentally friendly and affordable. The adaption of using clean energy, reduction of fossil fuels use, having a huge tree cover and their vegan lifestyle displayed the essence of people living their lives in balance with nature, hence creating a conducive working and living environment for everyone. The fact that most of the food served in the hotels was majorly vegan food was a clear indication of how well the Swedish people look after their health which contributes to their high life expectancy. The vegan aspect is also one of the environmental conservation contributors as plants bring more benefits to the environment compared to the rearing of meat-producing animals. The team was privileged to visit the second largest city in Sweden which is known as Göteborg where we went by train. The electric train ride experience was great as and we got to experience a comfortable ride in a very fast train covering a distance of 445 km in about four hours. This was a new thing for the team as back at home the standard gauge railway train (SGR) which is diesel-powered covers the same distance in about 6 to7 hours and it is not as comfortable as what we experienced. The views of the countryside part of Sweden were breathtaking, the farms, forests, lakes, rivers, and amazing buildings kept us glued to the window throughout the journey. We saw different organizations that we were familiar with on our way such as SSAB which produces fossil-free steel that is eco-friendly. Transportation of heavy materials such as timber was also done by electric trains reducing the number of heavy trucks on the road and the emission, they cause in other countries such as Kenya. The team was lucky enough to be in Sweden as the country celebrated its national day and it was a nice coincidence that on that day Mr. Tomas Roovete the Partnership Manager for We Don't Have Time had offered to be our tour guide of the day around the old town. We got an opportunity to visit the old town which was rich in Sweden's history, with the oldest buildings that dated back to the Medeltid and 1500, including churches. The sights in the old town and the people there were amazing. We got the chance to visit the Royal Palace and read about its history through the different exhibition tents placed on the royal court. We tried out some of the clothes that the royal family and the guards wore during the old days. The highlight of the Kenyan team’s visit to Stockholm was attending the Stockholm +50 Climate Hub, organized by WDHT, UNDP, Exponential Roadmap, and other partners. The six-day conference amounted to 50 hours which was symbolic of marking 50 years since the first Stockholm meeting was held. The conference was a beehive of activities with speakers, environmentalists, climate activists, and government officials from Sweden and other parts of the world. The conference was the icing on the cake as it was the venue where the Kenyan team got to meet and interact with the Sweden team on a personal level, unlike the normal virtual interactions during online meetings. The team got to meet the organization's founder, Mr. Ingmar Rentzhog, the cofounder Mr. David Olsson, Ms. Sweta Chakraborty the President, of the We Don't Have Time US office, and the whole team, which was made of amazing people. The great speakers who took the stage during the six-day conference had something unique, impactful, and encouraging to all those in attendance, physically and virtually. Some of the speakers that touched on issues that the Kenyan team felt resonated with them were the founders of Plantastique. Adam Baptiste pitched about how to find the products that phase out the other products that are harming our environment, such as plastics. Chief of Growth at Terraformation Yee Lee pitched about the global native forest restoration is the lowest cost, lowest risk, and most politically feasible carbon drawdown solution available and is shovel-ready. Terraformation scale natural carbon capture by solving the biggest bottlenecks to forest restoration, accelerating global progress toward this climate solution. Executive Vice President Marketing & Global movement, Sandra Frank, spoke about Arvet and their motto to build cities using renewable building materials. The knowledge and wisdom every speaker who stepped on stage shared was a learning lesson for the team. We took away some pointers that once we share with our people back home, it would help our community and at the same time make our work impactful. An exceptional initiative was introduced during the conference, which was dubbed the Climate Dragonfly's Den where start-up organizations pitched their ideas on solutions that can be adapted to curb the climate crisis. This was an open platform and the chance that the startups from all over the world were given to pitch their idea to the panel which voted for the best idea. The organizations that took part in the presentation included Arvet, Azelio, WWF Sweden, Beyond Nine, ARTPORT, the Green Swan Lab, Terraformation, Plogga, Uturn, among others. All these organizations gave their best and all their ideas would positively impact the war against the climate change crisis. The top three winners of the presentation will be announced and awarded during COP 27 in Egypt and will also get a chance to present at the conference. This initiative was aimed at encouraging individuals with great ideas on how to save the planet to keep them alive and keep pushing their vision. The top morale booster for the team was the wisdom and confidence that the WDHT founder, Mr. Ingmar, displayed every time he stepped on stage. It was amazing to see his passion for making the world better, which made him call out the governments and other powerful individuals whose actions or activities are leading to more damage to the environment without any fear. The host and moderators of the conference Nick Nuttall and Catarina Rolfsdotter made the conference spectacular with their excellent stage presence, professionalism, liveliness, and sense of humor. The host did a good job in moderating the panels and ensuring that every speaker or presentation on stage kept time. Achieving over 32 million unique viewers during the 50 hours conference was a milestone achieved and we, the Kenyan team, we're proud to be part of this great achievement. As a team, we went back home inspired, educated, motivated, and with a memorable, thrilling experience. We thank everyone who made our trip successful, the dedicated speakers and panelists, all the viewers and audience who followed the broadcast, the Sweden and Washington DC team, and the leaders of WDHT.

Climate change is one of the most critical global challenges of our times. Recent events have emphatically demonstrated our growing vulnerability to climate change. Climate change impacts will continue affecting agriculture, and further endangering food security, to sea-level rise and the accelerated erosion of coastal zones increasing the intensity of natural disasters, species extinction and spread of vector-borne diseases. This issue is of immense importance for every global citizen, no matter their background, race, or age. Climate change endangers the existence of humanity hence, it requires an initiative against it globally. In their continued efforts to raise awareness of the climate change crisis in Kenya and the African region, We Don't Have Time Kenya chapter team led by the WDHT Africa representative Mr. Patrick Kiarie joined the climate youth and governance summit organized by Youth Green Space Action And Network. This partnership between the two organizations blended well because of their shared goal, which is to raise awareness and put a stop to climate change. During his speech, Mr. Patrick liberated that every generation in the world has its special purpose and the current generation’s purpose is to curb climate change. He urged the youth in attendance to take it as their responsibility to see that the coming generation finds a desirable planet to live in and that can only be done if climate action is taken now. The action of bringing together youths and policymakers in the government was crucial as it gave the young people a chance to air their grievances to the government officials and offer ideas on policies that are needed to strengthen the fight against climate change. In attendance was the President of the National Youth Council of Kenya Mr. Roy Sasaka Telewa and the Kenya Institute For Public Policy Research And Analysis (KIPPRA) Mrs. Rose Ngugi the top people in the government that are responsible for running youths' affairs and making policies that will make people's lives better. The reason why the summit was so invested in youths was that they are the biggest percentage of the global population and leveraging on them will positively affect the fight to curb climate change. In her speech, Mrs. Rose Ngugi mentioned that the fight against climate change can be won if only people come together and dedicate themselves to achieving a desirable planet. She urged the youths to participate in policy-making processes, attend public participation meetings, and use social media to air their grievances and ideas to the government and institutions. She urged those in attendance to change their attitude towards climate and the environment, as this will enable them to conquer climate change. The summit allowed the youths to speak out and give out their ideas on how Africa can reach its desirable climate targets within a short time. The CEO of the Kenya National Youth Council (NYC) Mr. Roy Sasaka Telewa stated that the youths are better placed to fight climate change because they make up a huge percent of the global population and are adept at spreading new habits and technologies. Compared to the other groups in the society they have the most knowledge and ideas on how to curb the climate crisis. He also liberated that if no action is taken now, climate change will affect the youths more than any other group in the society threatening their future. He called upon the government and organizations globally to support and empower the youths, as they have a high chance of curbing climate change. The youth are adaptable and can quickly make low-carbon lifestyles and career choices a part of their daily lives. Youth should therefore be given a chance to take an active part in the decision-making at local, national, and global levels. They can actively support initiatives that will lead to the passage of far-reaching legislation. A more defined role should be given to the youth to prevent the impact of climate change. It is essential to conduct major studies among youth regarding awareness about climate change as well as the role of youth in combating climate change. The We Don’t Have Time team thanks Youth Green Space Action and Network, those in attendance and encourages everyone to participate in making the dream of having a safe and desirable planet for us and the future generations.

As a representative of #Wedonthavetime-Kenya Chapter, I commend the work #BoltApp/company are doing in Kenya and beyond with other local partners especially this year of 2022 and particularly your devotion, tree planting intiative and marketing toward the recently celebrated #Earthday of 2022! Well,I note three years ago, you made the decision to become the most sustainable mobility operator in the world. Since then, you have neutralised the environmental footprint of over 4.5 billion kilometres of Bolt rides and made Bolt scooters climate-positive. And recently you were taking the next step.... Hope in future, you have a big role to play, especially by advising your client to use more of electric cars or hybrid cars,and in that way you will win more war toward our planet by not using fossil fuels cars,it will be a big plus to you,not only in Kenya but globally, my thought! But continue doing what you are doing now. On Earth Day, Bolt partnering with Seedballs Kenya they devoted to plant over 11 million Seedbolts. They’re seeds that will grow into trees and help reforest areas of the country. As a result, we will continue to neutralise the environmental footprint of all Bolt rides. On top of that, every Bolt ride made on Earth Day they added 1 extra tree seed to the mix. This is all what bolt said-:) We consider our sustainability goals as our own responsibility towards society, so the cost of this initiative will not come from your earnings, but will be funded 100% from our side. Thank you for driving with the green app! To learn more,here is their blog article-:) https://blog.bolt.eu/en/seedbolts/

The world’s largest sport – Football – is also a source of global greenhouse gas emissions, between 0.3% to 0.4%, according to research by the energy company Selectra. This might sound like a small number but is actally comparable to the country of Denmark. All, countries and sectors alike, need to contribute to the fossil-free transition. An interesting case is Forest Green Rovers, currently at the top of the table of England’s third-ranking professional Football division, League Two. Described by FIFA as ”the greenest football club in the world,” the club: - Is powered by 100% green energy from Ecotricity, some of which is generated with solar panels on the stadium roof and the solar tracker at the ground entrance. - Vegan-only menu for players and spectators. - Organic pitch, free from pesticides and weed killers. - Electric ‘mow-bot’ – they cut the grass with a GPS-directed, solar-powered lawnmower. - Rainwater capture – collecting rainwater that lands on the stadium and use it to irrigate the pitch. - Electric car charge points at the stadium. - Measuring and working actively to lower their footprint. - The Forest Green Rovers is the only club to have Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS) accreditation. - Planning to build a new stadium almost entirely from wood. Very impressive! All Football Clubs should do these and similar things. Show Forest Green Rovers some love and support!

I have had the privilege to use the Prime Mini 5 PC from Prime computers. I believe this is one of the best green innovations when it comes to personal computers of our time. For a long time, the challenge of the effects of the digital era especially driven by investments in Personal computers for the office environment has been a headache. Yes, computers no matter the size have fueled much of the transformation that the global economy is experiencing today, but the question of the environmental footprint has always emerged. For computer systems, their usage and disposal has created a challenge for the environment; on usage especially in developing economies that are heavily reliant on fossil-fuel run generators to power their systems, computers have been a great source of concern mainly because most of the computers in the market today (or at least those shipped to Africa as donations from the west) are fairly large in size, consume a lot of power and their performance is not as fast compared to the technology in place today. When it comes to disposal, computer systems are non-biodegradable, and thus, their disposal presents a challenge to their owners, governments and environmentalists. Thus, the bigger the physical size of the computer, the more challenging the disposal becomes. Green Information technology experts have therefore for long advocated for size and efficiency in terms of power consumption as key elements of a new era of sustainable computing devices. But there is a catch; performance comes with consumption, and therefore the big headache for computer designers has been, how do we develop a small computer that has the computing power and capability of “mainframes” while at the same time ensuring that the computer is power efficient? For a long time, I thought this was technically impossible in our time, but ala!, here comes the Prime mini 5 PC, physically smaller in size to fit on the palm of your hand (but don’t be fooled by the size, it weighs more than the size can tell), efficiently faster than you can imagine and more, it produces no noise when in operation. The prime mini 5 from prime computers is a great innovation, one that every green organization or any organization that really cares for the environment should consider. It combines environmental friendly features with the computing capabilities that can really be economically beneficial to any organization. Talking about the economics of such green computing devices, in its report “the business case for green economy” the United nations environmental programme (UNEP) presents compelling arguments and evidence that despite the heavy investment that may come with investing in green systems, Going green really pays, that the economic value for green projects is not only beneficial to the universe, but pays back in every way to your organization. As a person who has had the chance to use the Prime mini 5, courtesy of @wedonthavetime, I would recommend it to any organization, and to any person. I really feel proud to know that there are firms out there that are ready to walk the talk on the need to transition from the re-additional way of utilizing resources to a more greener approach that focuses on a shared responsibility for our universe. Hence here i give them a review of thumb up! keep it up and i believe together we are the solution solvers in our planet! Sign up for their newsletter here: https://bit.ly/3GZVHxR and stay up to date on their new product launches and what they are working on! They promise, there are some exciting things coming up!

Scientists, environmentalists and local communities say the project could jeopardise critical water supplies and threaten the Okavango Delta in Botswana, a huge pristine wilderness and World Heritage Site. “Every element of this process – from new roads to drilling sites, refineries to terminals – will devastate the ecosystem and the local communities that depend on it for farming and fishing,” said Nnimmo Bassey, director at the Health of Mother Earth Foundation and chair of Oilwatch Africa. Alles said vibrations from exploratory work are known to disturb elephants, and the increase in construction, roads and traffic would not only drive the animals away but also open the area up to poachers. “Especially when they have young, they avoid areas where there is any human activity, where there is noise and what they see as danger. This can drive them away from their ancient migratory routes and closer to villages and agricultural areas, leading to more human-elephant conflict.” https://www.business-humanrights.org/fr/derni%C3%A8res-actualit%C3%A9s/anglican-church-petitions-namibia-botswana-govts-to-halt-reconafrica-exploratory-project-in-kavango-basin/ https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/jun/20/new-oilfield-in-african-wilderness-threatens-lives-of-130000-elephants

Dear Friends, We started LIVEKINDLY Collective with the simple goal of changing people’s beliefs and habits. Ultimately, we want to transform the broken food system into a sustainable, plant-based one. This idea itself isn’t new. There are many businesses around the world working on independent initiatives to promote plant-based diets. This global shift will help save our planet and its inhabitants, both animals and people. But it requires knowledge, awareness, and accessible food options to inspire people to live more consciously. It’s also an ambitious mission: From day one, we knew we must move quickly, boldly, and efficiently to achieve it. We designed LIVEKINDLY Collective to be the global pure-play company in plant-based alternatives, which is at the heart of protein transformation. This is not something that one person, brand or company can do alone. We are achieving this through collaboration, rather than competition. LIVEKINDLY Collective continues to assemble a powerful collection of beloved brands from across the globe. They all share our vision and core values of building an organisation that is kind, mindful and bold — with lasting impact. We harness the collective wisdom of these entrepreneurs, founders and top leaders from global companies who bring more than 75 years expertise in plant-based food. Their passion for our mission and unbeatable track record fuel a net-positive business model covering the entire value chain, from seed to fork. We’re on a mission to make plant-based living the norm, something that’s never been done before. We are already improving the quality, affordability, and nutritional value of plant-based products, making them more broadly available around the world. And this is just the beginning of our journey. We’d like to take the opportunity to give special thanks to our founding members — Timo, Debbie, Wally, Jodi, Anders, Anna-Kajsa, and Ankan — not only for putting their confidence and trust in us, but for inspiring us, too. It is both humbling and thrilling to see what started as a seed of an idea progress into an actual movement. It’s bigger than just us and involves many of you. We’re so grateful for your support, and we hope you’ll continue to join us on the journey towards a more plant-based world.

Denmark just announced a national target for fossil free domestic passenger flights by 2030, this is joining Swedavia (Sweden's) efforts to do the same. Obviously Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) will play a big part in this, so let's hope there will be robust verification standards to ensure the SAF is actually sustainably produced. These two countries will certainly be ones to follow in the next eight years in spearheading the transition to sustainable aviation. Check out this BBC News article - Denmark to make domestic flights fossil fuel free by 2030 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-59849898 Swedavia strategic agenda https://www.swedavia.com/the-change-is-already-underway/ (Image: Andres Dallimonti on Unsplash)

We will not be paying money for fossil fuels if this works in DK and SV, however a few O&G companies like Shell, BP, and TotalEnergies are in the SAF production, distribution and trading business. Maybe this can help convince them to more quickly transition to green fuels.

Cutting Trees vs Dung Paper Yes! I love seeing ideas like this that help our planet,in one way or the other! We need to use better resources that the planet give us for free. Without harming it. Truly we can do anything if we work together as we say @wedonthavetime "Together we are the solution to the climate crisis" We all have responsibility towards our future. Nice to know the paper is manufactured using a process that promotes environmental protection. It is produced by Eco Maximus using a mixture of elephant dung... They say the paper is sanitized, has good utility value and no smell! I find this is so brilliant, it’s going to save a lots of trees being cut down for papers, more clean air for us to breathe and it was made from an elephant 💩, Brilliant and exiciting idea! https://youtu.be/TPcr5-pYmpE

In Kenya ''TEA'' has been one of the most essential commodity both economically and for general home purposes. Actually its the best beverage that all homes in Kenya associate with, breakfast is synonyms as taking tea, and to majority of families after every meal there must be a cup of tea... It has brought a lot of developments in many ways. Like in the previous economic year, tea contributed 40 percent of the agricultural production, which resulted to a massive export income of 11.7billion Kenya shillings. (That's like 11.7million USD) But already Kenya has started to loose this commodity and its on the verge of losing it by half come 2050 as climate change bites. I fear our future generations wont experience the pride of having this commodity which is globally recognized and marketable. Climate change has posed as a very heavy threat to the tea sector and this commodity should be saved, my question is to the ministry of Agriculture. Do you have mitigation to prevent this, and if answer is yes, How? And how are your set measures to sensitize it to all tea farmers in Kenya? Noting Kenya is second largest country producing tea in the world? And Kenyan tea is the best that is being used by other countries to blend their tea. Am feeling concerned about this, and am sure its the same feeling to all farmers across the country. https://www.africanews.com/2021/07/05/kenya-tea-growers-shift-to-produce-pineapple-as-climate-change-bites/?jwsource=cl

There are multiple ways to solve this beforehand: 1) Switch to biodiversity & permaculture driven crops such as flowers, fruits, spices, bamboo, plant billions of local & biodiverse large trees, re-build natural habitats 2) In flood prone areas build up at least 15 feet adjustable above the ground - vertical farms, do not use cement concrete or too much of metal, use bamboo & renewables 3) Manage flood water like Netherlands is doing since centuries 4) Do not wait until 2025, 2050 is a wrong calculation based on estimated numbers, its proving wrong. Note that its ONE planet, things are not computer controlled or statistically controlled, its the natural ecosystem that warns early. The reason why we see natural habitats changed - because animals, birds insects adopt to that and act on it, never seen animals or birds - looking at statistics and speech given by their political leaders or funded propaganda research to wait until 2050 ;-) 5) Do it in communities, connect the communities to share knowledge, NOW & quick, DON't wait for govt support or the annual numbers - they just don't know or have tools or mindset to change quick, after all govt are managed by politicos & bureaucracy - that in any emergency are failing (not all, but many failed in simple healthcare planning or response to pandemic). Statistical data is great, but action is required now. 6) No govt or power point of comfortable numbers like 2030 or 2050 slides have the monetary ($) capacity to help their own citizens when things fail due to natural disasters. Note that those are just comfortable numbers given by mostly oil & gas, major corporation driven & funded research news

Drought in Madagascar has exposed millions to Famine with no water or food image/courtesy Increasing temperatures and sea levels, changing precipitation patterns and more extreme weather are threatening human health and safety, food and water security, and socio-economic development in Africa. There has been compelling evidence that Africa as a continent remains the most affected by the effects of climate change, despite the fact that her carbon footprint is the lowest. In one of its assessments, the Inter-governmental panel on climate change warned that temperature increases in the sub-Saharan region are projected to be higher than the global mean temperature increase; regions in Africa within 15 degrees of the equator are projected to experience an increase in hot nights as well as longer and more frequent heatwaves. The over-reliant of African economies on rain-fed Agriculture has been her biggest undoing: today, rainfall is no longer predictable, and when it rains, flash floods, insufficient rainfall or even cases where rainfall is so poorly distributed to support the growth of crops has become the norm. As developed countries fear the economic effects of adjusting their production systems to more sustainable approaches, African economies are staring at the blink of collapse with more national resources having to be directed to acquiring food and water for their citizens. Several reports by the United nation (UN) have constantly warned of increasing climate change threats for human health, food and water security, and socio-economic development in Africa. And still, even with accurate and current data for adaptation planning, world leaders have continued to pay lip service instead of coordinated affirmative action for a better and cleaner environment. It is worrying that over the last 50 years since the Bruntland commission, hundreds of trillions of dollars have been spent on climate change, yet there is little or nothing in terms of results to show for the piles of research work regarding the risk to the environment that the world has to show for these huge investments. Figure 1: Due to rising water levels, the entrance of Lake Nakuru National park has now been completely submerged in water. image/courtesy Yet as the world leaders continue with their blame game, Africa is at crossroads, left to face the consequences of years of environmental plunder. And this fight for survival by its citizens and governments has seen them turn on the environment and continue to exploit these same resources with impunity. Today, all lakes in rift valley Kenya have risen to unprecedented levels, displacing thousands of people; previously arable land in parts of Zimbabwe is no longer productive; and down there in South Africa, thousands of acres of trees have been totally destroyed by acidic rain as a result of Sulphur dioxide (SO2) and Nitrous oxide (NOX) released to the atmosphere. This has also threatened aquatic life in the affected areas. In Madagascar, the country is now facing its worst drought in our generation with hundreds of thousands of its citizens without water or food. A woman collects water from a puddle in the dried Manambovo river bed in Tsihombe, Madagascar, May 2, 2021 image/courtesy How much longer do we need to wait before meaningful action is taken? We hope that the upcoming Glasgow cop26 in November, all leaders that will attend, will discuss this African issue and they see ‘how’ it can be implemented for the betterment of Africa and its people for this decade before 2030. Below are some sources that guided me to write this article-:) https://350africa.org/8-ways-climate-change-is-already-affecting-africa/ https://www.environment.co.za/environmental-issues/acid-rain.html https://www.un.org/africarenewal/magazine/december-2018-march-2019/global-warming-severe-consequences-africa Written by-:) Patrick Kiarie.

If we are honest with ourselves, we make many personal decisions related to the actual cost. At the moment I refuel my ethanol car with petrol because it is cheaper in the long run due to the service cost and longer life of the car. I fly to my brother in France because it is cheaper and easier for me than taking the train and I think I´m not the only one who makes decisions based on the cost, even those who take a greater responsibility when it comes to taking an active part in to accelerate the solution to the climate crisis, thinking in terms of "I, I and I". They buy their own electric cars and make their own solar panel solutions, instead of sharing these solutions with others, which is a more sustainable alternative. Our governments have spent billions and billions on solving the Corona crisis, so there is no shortage of money. My idea is linked to the tax system and how it can be linked to the amount of carbon dioxide you consume. If the individual goal is to have an annual emission of less than 2 tons. We can create a tax scale, as follows; 0 tons of emissions gives 0 percent in tax, 1 ton of emissions gives 10 percent in tax and so on up to 5 tons and 50 percent in tax and for emissions between 6 and 10 tons you pay 5 percent more in tax per ton. The maximum tax rate will be 75 percent for 10 tons of CO2 and more. You can use the same principle for companies, but you need a completely different scale. Some people will say that it can’t be done, but we already do it when it comes to real estates, for example. We can use the Climate Heroes calculator as an appendix to the declaration. The problem of "tax evasion" is already a fact, but the control systems are getting better and better. Skip all words and promises on COP26 and act instead. Money will solve the climate crisis and as we all know - "It's all about the money".

I would say money is more the cause of all of our problems and we’d probably be far better off if we got rid of money entirely. If we had a system where everyone is treated equally we wouldn’t need money.

If asked, most (individuals, corporates, organizations, etc.) state that they would to do something against the climate change, however between the intentions and actions that create impact there is a gap (known as the intention-action gap in general behavioural science). The very problem is true for the problem of the climate change. Behavioural science and nudge theory are know to be able to overcome this gap. So I see the very potential of the services of Nudgd to create a large scale impact, by helping others to make change happen. This is in particular needed, when more and more companies feel the urge to drive a sustainability agenda, but are not equipped with the competence to do so.

Learning of the presence and impeccable impact of 8 billion trees in my country Kenya by the organization's collaborative efforts with Kenya forest service towards carbon emissions reduction by embarking on an enormous tree planting exercise in Kenze hills makueni county has compelled me to dig into their profile that's indeed a game changer going by the facts therein. Their over the moon captivating interest in healing the planet and conserve wildlife that's on a practical and authenticated scale over the 4 four years of existence and counting is really delightful. Rehabilitation of the Amazon-the word's largest rainforest forest is part of their wider reach to ensure forest regrowth in a bid to offset carbon. By coming together with other stakeholders in various countries who include the government institutions,environmental groups as well as the local communities to foot this noble cause is a great and encouraging step in ensuring protection, preservation, conservation, reforestation and afforestation among other nature based healing attributes. Having set their feet in at least seven countries so far and impacted change,the organization is indeed making tremendous moves to spread quick and beyond as there's no time to wait when it comes to tackling the climate emergency-the crisis of our own making. https://8billiontrees.com/about/ https://8billiontrees.com/planting-projects/

His decision of refusing being just another keyboard warrior shouting from the sidelines, and deciding to hop on his bicycle and cycle all the way from South Africa to find out first-hand what is going on in different parts of Africa and amplify the voices of those directly affected,is very commendable.
