Do you know what the Sustainable Development say about environmental conservation? As a matter of fact as young people involved in various environmental conservation we should take the mandate a notch higher and hold countable our various Governments, organizations and communities to follow the due procedure in fulfilling the Sustainable Developments Goals by the year 2030 or even earlier than that. Am stressing on young people being active in fulfilling the Sustainable Development Goals simply because they will be around whether the environment is conserved or not and they will face the results of how environment is conserved. The sustainable Development Goals on environment conservation include: SDG Goal number 6 which advocates for Clean water and Sanitization, SDG Number 7 for affordable and clean energy, SDG Number 9 for Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure, SDG Number 11 for Sustainable cities and communities, SDG Number 12 for Responsible Consumption and Production, SDG Number 13 for Climate Action, SDG Number 14 for Life Below Water, SDG Number 15 for Life On Land.

Dumping of waste has been a problem in most countries in the world,particularly in third world countries.In Kenya at coastal region a problem has arised due to dumping of waste near the ocean.The Kenya marine and fishers reaserch institute (KEMFRI) has issued a warning to residents on cancer contractions. When these wastes (plastic and electronic material) are burnt in low temperatures they realese high toxic compounds known as dioxins which is responsible for cancer.The dump site also being near the ocean contaminates water thus harming marine life.When taken by fish these contaminated water leaves toxins in fish cells and the fish being unable to have a mechanism to eliminate the toxins they are taken to human beings on eating fish. Human being also are unable to eliminate the toxic substances they are exposed to kidney diseases. Damping sites also has a problem to oxygen due to the oxygen degradation when decomposing the organic materials these leads to emissions of high amounts of carbon to the environment.Every body has a role to ensure that the dumping waste is properly taken care of to avoid both environmental,economical and human problems

Hi Everyone, am Brian from Kenya, the 2016 United Nations Conference On Trade And Development had statistics in the next 60 years the population of Africa will be 44 % of the world from the current 16%, this calls for Africa to be so prepared in ensuring that the environment then will provide Africa with the opportunities to have food, good weather and protect their environment so that the future can be prosperous. The young people today will be around then hence they should take a front-line in preserving the environment more than any one else.

There is a huge gap in the involvement of the Public in Policy making in regard to Environmental conservation and their subsequent implementation. This has led to a serious deficit in public corporatopion in conserving the environment. Many countries have culture and human activity as key challenges to preservation of the natural environment. Have you encountered or heard of this challenges in your area? This is why I created this platform. As I package information on this,on the Kenyan perspective, try have a view of this in your country.

The legacy of the Million Tree Project... for our children. I am fortunate to study in one of the most beautiful towns in the world- Stellenbosch. Surrounded by vineyards, old architecture and many, many trees. The founder of this town, Simon van der Stel planted many oak trees throughout the town many years ago. Now they boast with beautiful lush leaves, providing shade on hot summers days, creating much needed oxygen and they are also just beautiful to look at. The municipality had decided to further this legacy and set a goal of one million trees which are to be planted in Stellenbosch and the surrounds. Since 2013, 79090 trees have been invested. The reasons for this is clear: It is about creating dignified living for all citizens environmental benefits such as countering global warming and the greenhouse effect The beautification of living spaces with added benefit of creating community pride The rehabilitation of disturbed and neglected areas Supplementing food security Foster respect for the environment through educational projects Drive towards home-style communities Foster inclusivity and create community corridors linking various groups and to contribute to a green economy by the creation of job opportunities (http://milliontrees.co.za/how/). There is no greater legacy than providing for future generations- some do it through large trust funds, others through ensuring success if the family name, but none of that will matter if there is no planet to be in existence. So it is as easy as planting a tree- a small seed today will give air, beauty and dignity to many people in the future.
