Non-Biodegradable Waste

Non-biodegradable waste  Non-Biodegradable material is the substance that cannot be broken down by natural organisms and acts as a source of pollution. Non-biodegradable cannot be easily handled because they remain on earth for thousands of years without any degradation Non-biodegradable waste  The threat caused by non biodegradable material  is very critical,  plastics have long-lasting effects, improved quality plastics are made and put to use for higher levels. They are more temperature resistant and more durable even after use. Other examples are cans, metals, and chemicals for agricultural and industrial purposes. They are mainly the main causes of air, water, and soil pollution and lead to diseases like cancer. Non-biodegradable waste is a crisis and a threat to the environment. See some of the hazardous issues that result due to generation of non-biodegradable wastes; 1. Clogging of drain. 2. Soil destruction. 3. Biomagnification of...

Global warming

Global warming affects all of us. Willingness Is okay but Action Saves the Planet. Posted by Naretmuj Environmental Conservation Contact: naretmuj@gmail.com Act Now or the Planet Will Ghost Us We humans are great at saying “I’m so willing!” while cozy-binging Netflix. But Mother Earth didn’t sign up for our excuses. Being “willing” is adorable, but it won't save icebergs from becoming sad puddles or bring back the trees we’ve lost. Let’s go global Mau, Amazon, Congo, Taiga, Borneo, the melting ice and rising seas, weather on steroids, and how we caused it all . And let’s keep it funny, readable and absolutely action-packed. 1. Global Forests: Our Planet’s Superheroes Mau Forest , Kenya: The OG water tower, home to rivers, wildlife, and culture facing threats like illegal logging . Amazon Rainforest : The Beyoncé of forests 5.5 million km², 20% of Earth's oxygen, but being devoured by fires and deforestation. Congo Basin : The carbon-sucking powerhouse of Africa ...

IMPORTANCE OF TREE’S AND TREE PLANTING

Importance of  Trees; provide oxygen and purify the air, lower the air temperature, help prevent flooding, help sustain wildlife, are good for our health, improve soil quality, Tree planting along Enkare Ng'usur River, Narok East,Ildamat ward. Trees provide oxygen and purify the air Trees consume carbon and produce oxygen. Trees don’t just enrich the air we breathe They also purify it, they are able to absorb pollutant gases such as nitrogen oxides, ozone, ammonia and sulfur dioxide. Trees lower the air temperature Trees block out up to 90% of the sun’s radiation and cooling the ground beneath it, they also use the process called evapotranspiration to block radiation from the sun before it hits the ground. When the sun’s rays hit a tree’s canopy, they cause water to evaporate from the leaves, creating a cooling effect that can decrease local air temperatures by several degrees. Trees help prevent flooding Concidering that trees consume alot of water theref...

The Race Against Time

The race we can win. Racing Against Time: The Climate Crisis and Our Shared Responsibility Two young members of Naretmuj Environmental Conservation Group , standing against the backdrop of our community, recently held placards with urgent messages: “Some climate solutions are environmental justice problems” and “We’re in a race against time in terms of climate crisis.” Their words capture the heart of today’s global emergency  climate change is here, and it demands action now. The Harsh Reality of Climate Change Rising global temperatures are already fueling: Environmental degradation Natural disasters and weather extremes Food shortages and water insecurity Economic disruption Meanwhile, glaciers are melting, coral reefs are dying, oceans are acidifying, and forests including the Mau Forest, our water tower are under threat from human activities. Rivers that once flowed strongly are now drying up, and this puts both people and wildlife at risk. These crises prove on...

Climate change and mental health

Climate change is a threat to mental health . Climate Change Is a Threat to Mental Health ( Naretmuj Environmental Conservation Group ) It all started during one of our tree-planting days at Eor Ekule . Someone asked, “If trees help clean the air , does that mean planting more could make people think clearer?” We laughed, but the more we thought about it, the more it made sense. If climate change is making the world hotter, drier, and less predictable, it’s not just our crops and livestock that suffer  it’s our minds too. Think about it: You’re a farmer in Narok East, you’ve planted maize after the early rains, then two weeks later, the sun hits harder than a goat on market day. The plants wither, your harvest drops, and you start wondering if the sky is playing games with you. That constant stress? That’s climate change creeping into your mental space. Even here, up near Mau Forest (i mean Narok and especially Narok East and North), we’re not spared. The streams that us...

TREES & URBAN AREAS.

     TREES & URBAN AREAS . Donating trees to the pastor of AIC Church, Eor-Ekule Centre, who will later distribute them to church members for planting at their homes, after first planting some within the church compound. TREES & URBAN AREAS Trees are more than just part of nature in towns and cities, they should be treated as essential infrastructure. Just like we plan for roads, water systems, and drainage, we should also plan for green spaces where trees can thrive. Every tree planted is an investment in cleaner air, cooler streets, and healthier communities. Recently, at Eor-Ekule Centre, we donated and planted trees with members of the community. This event wasn’t just about putting seedlings in the soil it was about building a future where our urban areas remain livable for generations to come. The joy on people’s faces, the hands of children helping fill the soil, and the conversations shared under the shade of older trees reminded us that environmental cons...

TREES FOR LIFE

Trees for life , save our planet . Climate change is real  Tree for Life: Community Unites for a Greener Narok East The spirit of conservation came alive in Narok East as residents gathered for a powerful Tree for Life event. Volunteers, students, and boda boda riders joined forces, marching through the streets in bright reflective vests, carrying messages of hope and action. Their placards read: “Save the Planet,” “Shaping Our Future,” and “Restoration of Narok Rivers.” This event was more than just planting seedlings it was a rallying cry for environmental responsibility. Participants planted hundreds of trees across key areas, aiming to restore degraded land, protect water sources, and combat climate change. The day ended with smiles, muddy hands, and a renewed commitment: plant today, protect tomorrow . naretmuj@gmail.com

Garbage collection and cleaning

Garbage collection at Eor Ekule Center , Narok East . Garbage Collection at Eor-Ekule Center, Narok East Naretmuj Environmental Conservation Group recently led a successful garbage collection drive at Eor-Ekule Center, bringing together local traders, boda boda riders, and volunteers. The team cleared litter from market areas, roadside ditches, and open spaces, greatly improving hygiene and the look of the center. Proper waste management prevents disease, protects water sources, and complements Naretmuj’s wider conservation efforts, including tree planting. Residents welcomed the cleaner environment and pledged to maintain it, while local leaders promised continued support. The event proved that a healthy, green future depends on both planting trees and keeping our shared spaces clean. naretmuj@gmail.com  start from you and me.

Conservation at Narok east

Everything starts with me and you. Save my planet. Everything Starts with Me and You. Save My Planet. In the heart of Narok East , a powerful idea is taking root: Everything starts with me and you. Save my planet . It’s not just a slogan, it’s a call to action, a daily commitment, and a belief that individual effort, when combined, transforms communities and the Earth we share. A Personal Commitment Becomes a Collective Movement Every monumental environmental shift begins with one person making a choice choosing to plant a seed, conserve water, or teach a child about ecology. In Ildamat Ward , this principle came alive when Naretmuj Environmental Conservation Group , alongside Greening Africa , mobilized communities to plant over 1,000 seedlings at Ntulele, Ololerai Dam, and KAG Church . With the support of ENSDA , Red Cross, and Tareto Kenya , the initiative restored damaged ecosystems and united people behind a purpose greater than themselves. These acts remind us: you don’t ...
