Environmental Concerns Regarding PVC Campaign Posters During the Election Period.

I wish to respectfully raise a matter of growing national environmental concern that may require urgent, coordinated attention.

As Uganda enters the election period, there has been a widespread proliferation of campaign posters and banners across major cities, municipalities, and rural areas. Most of these materials are made from *polyvinyl chloride (PVC)*, a non-biodegradable plastic that can persist in the environment for many years. Once discarded, PVC materials pose long-term risks to soil quality, water systems, and air quality, especially when improperly burned or washed into drainage channels.

While campaign communication is an essential part of the democratic process, it is unclear whether permanent or sustainable solutions have been discussed or established to address the *environmental aftermath* of election campaigns. The accumulation of millions of PVC posters across the country raises serious questions regarding post-election waste management, environmental restoration, and public health.

In this regard, I respectfully seek clarification on the following:

1. What policies or mitigation measures have been put in place by the Electoral Commission to regulate the materials used for campaign advertising?

2. What strategies have been established by NEMA, city authorities, and the Ministry of Water and Environment to manage, collect, recycle, or safely dispose of PVC campaign waste after elections?

3. Are there plans to promote or enforce the use of environmentally friendly alternatives for political campaign materials in future electoral processes?

As a nation committed to environmental conservation and sustainable development, it is important that electoral activities align with Uganda’s environmental laws and climate commitments. Proactive planning and inter-institutional coordination can help prevent long-term environmental damage while preserving the integrity of our democratic processes.

I submit this concern in the spirit of constructive engagement and environmental stewardship, and I look forward to clarity on the measures being undertaken to address this issue.

Yours faithfully,

Kuteesa Michael Isaac
The CEO, Zero Waste Amazing Projects Foundation Ltd.

🔋 Big News for Uganda! 🚀🌍

Zero Waste Amazing Projects Foundation, in partnership with Sistema.bio, is now offering biogas systems at a 50% discount —a game-changer for affordable, sustainable energy access! With sizes tailored for households, farms, and communities, these systems make clean energy accessible and affordable, tackling high setup costs that have been a barrier for many Ugandans.

Why Biogas Matters for Uganda 🇺🇬:

1️⃣ Waste Reduction: Converts animal dung, food scraps, and crop residues into energy, reducing pollution and landfill waste.

2️⃣ Affordable Energy: Cuts fuel costs, especially in rural areas where firewood is scarce and expensive.

3️⃣ Healthier Homes: Biogas is smokeless, reducing respiratory risks from wood and charcoal smoke, especially for women and children.

4️⃣ Fertilizer By-Product: The biogas by-product (digestate) is a natural, nutrient-rich fertilizer, boosting soil health and yields for small-scale farmers.

With this initiative, Zero Waste Amazing Projects Foundation and Sistema.bio are helping build a sustainable future in Uganda by bringing biogas within reach.

Uganda's youth population exceeds 22 million, with around 70% of the population under the age of 30. By empowering just 2 million youth to transform waste tyres into furniture, producing at least one piece weekly, we could remove an estimated 100 million waste tyres from circulation each year. This initiative would not only create jobs, combat poverty, and lower crime rates but also have a profound environmental impact. It would save countless trees by reducing the demand for wood-based furniture, help control malaria by reducing stagnant water in discarded tyres, and provide sustainable waste management solutions.

A Testimonial from Mr. Kasozi Godfrey and Mrs. Joyce Kasozi Nakkanga, Poultry Farmers at Mukago Farm
The Transformative Power of Biogas at Mukago Farm: Cutting Costs and Saving Nature

21 August 2024, Wakiso - Uganda. We, Mr. Kasozi Godfrey and Mrs. Joyce Kasozi Nakkanga, operate Mukago Farm in Ssala Village, Wakiso District, where we specialize in egg production through cage-layer farming. Managing chicken droppings from over 10,000 birds was a significant challenge during our early years. Initially, we used solar dryers to handle the waste, but as our capacity grew, we had to upgrade to a dewatering machine. This innovation helped us separate the liquid from the solid waste, speeding up the drying process. However, we still faced the issue of foul odors and lacked a sustainable solution.

Through a friend, we learned about biogas technology and, after some research, contacted Isaac from the Zero Waste Amazing Projects (ZWAP) Foundation. Isaac inspected our farm and provided invaluable advice on how to maximize our limited space by installing a biogas system. Before this, we used to drain the liquid waste into an underground tank, which often released unpleasant odors, disturbing both us and our neighbors. However, the installation of the biogas system allowed us to repurpose the liquid from the chicken droppings as feed for the biogas system, which not only eliminated the odor but also provided us with a reliable and eco-friendly source of energy.

The impact of this renewable energy solution has been transformative. We have a team of 11 farm workers and one lady who manages the daily cooking. Previously, the Farm's daily cooking needs consumed one sack of charcoal every eight days, and our home use required another sack every 14 days. This amounted to six sacks every month, costing a monthly expense of UGX 450,000 on charcoal only. Thanks to the ZWAP Foundation’s biogas system, we have reduced our charcoal expenses by over 97%, now depending solely on 20m³ of biogas generated from our farm’s waste. We operate six biogas burners—three for the workers and three for the home—providing us with consistent and controllable energy.

Biogas offers numerous benefits. Unlike charcoal, which requires frequent refueling and struggles to maintain consistent temperatures, biogas allows us to regulate the heat as needed. We can now cook a variety of dishes, including beans, cowpeas, meat, molokonyi (cow hoof stew), and our traditional Baganda matooke (steamed bananas), with ease. Since December 2023, we have used just three sacks of charcoal, saving us nearly UGX 4,050,000 over nine months. Beyond the financial savings, biogas is a safer option compared to other gases, as it is easier to control and less harmful.

We highly recommend biogas technology to all Ugandan farmers who generate animal waste. While it requires daily maintenance, the rewards are well worth the effort. This technology not only saves money and resources but also conserves nature and simplifies life. We encourage others to embrace biogas and experience its many benefits.

Women Breaking Barriers in Business: A Spotlight on Tassels Films and the Recycling Revolution

For centuries, women faced significant barriers in the business world, often restricted from participating in corporate and entrepreneurial activities. However, over time, these barriers have gradually diminished, with women increasingly stepping into leadership roles across various industries. The shift towards gender inclusivity in business has been marked by remarkable achievements by women, who have not only entered but excelled in domains traditionally dominated by men.

In Uganda, one such trailblazer is Atusasire Barbara, the visionary leader behind Tassels Films. Known for her dynamic leadership and creative prowess, Barbara has made significant strides in the Ugandan film industry. Her company, Tassels Films, focuses on producing educational and entertaining content, particularly for young audiences, and has been instrumental in promoting safe media practices. Beyond filmmaking, Barbara has championed the cause of women in business through various initiatives, including the successful organization of the 2nd Women Business Expo on July 30, 2024, at the National Theatre.

The expo, themed "Financial Coaching for International Business Growth," was a platform for empowering women in business. It featured prominent female leaders such as Prof. Mauda Kamatenesi, Vice Chancellor of Bishop Stuart University, Madam CEO Arinda Jackie the CEO of JADA Coffee, Nalongo Patricia the CEO of Urembo Ecoprenure representing Sawa World Solutions, Ms. Nancy Kalembe, a former presidential candidate, Ms Winifred Masiko of the Uganda Women's Empowerment Project (UWEP)among other prominent women. Notably, Isaac Michael Kuteesa, CEO of the Zwap Foundation, participated as the only male panelist, highlighting the interconnectedness of women in business and waste management.

During the expo, Kuteesa emphasized the significant potential of the recycling industry as a pathway for international business growth. He discussed his motivation behind the recycling business, which stemmed from a personal tragedy of losing a beloved relative to cancer that highlighted the health risks of inadequate waste management. Kuteesa elaborated on how waste, often seen as a problem, can be transformed into a valuable resource, offering vast business opportunities. He provided practical insights into tapping into the recycling market, marketing recycled products, and the processes involved in recycling. Kuteesa also showcased products made from recycled materials, demonstrating the tangible benefits of waste transformation. Mr Kuteesa is the Women in Climate Conference 2023 Outstanding Male Champion in Climate Action Award Winner, with his organization through collaborations, they have distributed and installed over 480 prefabricated biogas systems across Uganda and supports the production and sale of over 2700 kgs of briquettes every week and over 15,000 participants have benefited from our training programs.

The event was attended by a diverse audience, including students from Kololo High School and St. Kizito SS Bugoloobi, highlighting the importance of educating the next generation about sustainable practices and business opportunities in waste management.

This expo not only celebrated the achievements of women in business but also underscored the critical role of sustainability and waste management in driving economic growth. With leaders like Atusasire Barbara and Isaac Michael Kuteesa, Uganda is making strides toward a more inclusive and sustainable future in business.
