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 mercury, DDT and other chemicals in the body.
4. Air pollution.
5. Land pollution.
6. Water pollution.
7. Ecological imbalance.
8. Death of livestock and wild animal due to ingestion of plastics.
9. Chemical fertilizers, pesticides changes soil chemistry and affects aquatic life.
10. Decreases soil fertility.

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...

Ilpedess Clan of the Maasai

  Ilpedess Clan (Maasai) Ilpedess is a clan of the Ildamat sub-tribe of the Maasai people in Kenya . The clan is primarily found in Narok County ( Narok East , Ildamat Ward ) and Kajiado County .

History The Ilpedess clan traces its origins to a period of conflict in Maasai history, during which a group of Maasai fled their homeland as refugees. The elder Ole Kobaai , originally from the Ilpatimaro clan , received the refugees and named them Ilpedess to integrate them into the local community. This naming also enabled intermarriage between the refugees and the host community. Symbol and Identity The clan’s totem is the monkey , which in Maasai culture can symbolize adaptability, cleverness, and social bonds. Like other Maasai clans, Ilpedess follows exogamy , meaning members are not permitted to marry within the clan. Cultural Pr...

The Mau Forest

From Mau With Love: How a Kenyan Forest Waters North Africa (And Still Gets No Valentine) By Naretmuj Environmental Conservation Somewhere deep in the misty highlands of Kenya, a tree wakes up and whispers to its neighbor: “Hey... did you know our morning dew ends up in Egypt ?” Welcome to the Mau Forest Complex   the forest that waters farms, feeds rivers, fuels wildlife, and hydrates North Africa, yet still doesn’t get enough love (or even a “thank you” from Cairo ). Let’s take a deep dive why the Mau Forest matters to every East and North African. What Is the Mau Forest Complex? The Mau Forest Complex is Kenya’s largest indigenous forest system. Spanning over 400,000 hectares , it stretches across counties like Kericho , Nakuru , Bomet , and Narok . It consists of multiple forest blocks: Maasai Mau Eastern Mau South West Mau Ol Pusimoru (which still sounds like a wizard from Naimina Enkiyo) It’s a natural water tower, carbon sink, animal haven, cultural herit...
