There is nothing that makes me happy than seeing positive transformation of our area, the above pictures is the situation of Kasarani centre taken two years ago,the first picture is highway from stage to petrol station and the other one is beside bilashaka-shalimar camp road,it was full of scattered wastes everywhere,the third one is the piled waste beside the lake,waste has negative effects both on health and environment,to humans and animals especially those living under water as when it rains all the wastes get washed into the Lake, today I went round the centre from Kasarani to Kosovo and was impressed by the great Change of this area in terms of cleanliness,the fourth and fifth picture is the same roads and some streets within Kasarani taken today and you can see how clean they are,I like how people have embraced waste management by placing the waste appropriately,the remaining challenge is the drainages which have never been cleaned since and I believe it's a step at a time we will be there one day.
The second challenge is the location of the main dumpsite which is over 50 kilometers away ,this makes it very expensive to transport the waste, the burden will be relieved when Gilgil Sub-county will have a dumpsite as it will reduce the distance thus reducing the cost.
cleanliness is second to Godliness,let's continue embracing proper waste management,conserve our environment,protect our wildlife and plant trees whenever you get a chance to.
Among the groups doing this amazing job to ensure we live in a clean and tidy environment is NorthLake Environmental Friends (Mazingira Bora)*.
Their dedication to this course has been bearing fruits.
Be among the change makers,be responsible,be patriotic.
