INCREASING TOBACCO TAX IS WELCOMED

The idea of the WHO(World Health Organisation) to encourage governments all over the world is welcoming.Tobacco is the main problem and cause of various deadly diseases.
 All the government should take this advise as this will reduce many diseases and many other problems that are brought due to use of tobacco.
  The government of Kenya has taken these advice and from the beginning of this month the prices of tobacco has risen.This is good indeed as it will reduce consumption of the tobacco.
 In  a duration of about 5 years ago government has tried it best to fight the tobacco usage.One of the things that government did is banning the advertisement of tobacco products in public i.e radio stations,T.v and i can say this has helped a lot  One of my friend  who is a tobacco user told me that he started smoking a local cigarette.When he was about 12 years old when he heard an advertisement.That " smoking make a person fill so high ".Now he is an  addict.
 Another thing that government has helped is controlling the smoking of tobacco from anywhere in the public.Some years back people could smoke cigarette from any environment in public.This was polluting the environment,from the research carried  out  by one of international organisation it  said that when a person smoke cigarette.The third party person is the one who will have high risk of been affected by the cigarette than even those who are smoking it.
 So government of Kenya constructed a Smoking Zone. This the smoking Zone area,Smoking in the public in Kenya is an offence.
The other thing that government helped a lot is establishment of NACADA. This is an organisation that help in   fighting drugs abuse.By holding up seminars and campaign against drug abuse.Also the introduction of outside cover been  printed a message like cigarette smoking can cause death,disease etc.This usually help those who are introducing themselves to this substance.

The prices should even be doubled to reduce the number of people who are using the substance.But big question arise that Economy of the world is also supported  by the tobacco.The Companies that manufacture the product pay government a lot of money and also have employed many employees from those who sell the product to the Customer(Smoker),Farmer who plant the Tobacco product to sell to these companies for his daily bread.If we ban tobacco produce where will the people go.
My opinion to these is that It should only be  increased the prices and not ban them completely.Those who will afford to use them let them use them.

View these and learn you might help another person and you help yourself  risks of tobacco .

WORLD OF PLASTICS

What would happen if there could be no plastic in the world the life could be somehow difficult.There are a lot of plastic materials that human kind use in day to day activities.The most commonly used are  utensils e.g plates,cups that are used at home.All over the world  plastic appears in almost every house hold.What if everything that is used as plastic is  a metal .The life could be too expensive to live in.Plastic do not decay like other material Most plastic is manufactured from petroleum the end product of a few million years of natural decay of once-living organisms. Petroleum's main components come from lipids that were first assembled long ago in those organisms' cells. So the question is, if petroleum-derived plastic comes from bio-material  why doesn't it biodegrade?Food for thought .

A crucial manufacturing step turns petroleum into a material unrecognized by the organisms that normally break organic matter down.Most plastics are derived from propylene, a simple chemical component of petroleum. When heated up in the presence of a catalyst, individual chemical units monomers of propylene link together by forming extremely strong carbon-carbon bonds with each other. This results in polymers long chains of monomers called polypropylene."Nature doesn't make things like that," said Kenneth Peters, an organic geochemist at Stanford University, "so organisms have never seen that before."

The organisms that decompose organic matter the ones that start turning your apple brown the instant you cut it open "have evolved over billions of years to attack certain types of bonds that are common in nature," Peters told Life's Little Mysteries.

   Plastic recycling is a process of recovering scrap or waste plastic and reprocessing the material into useful products, sometimes completely different in form from their original state. Since plastic is not normally biodegradable, recycling it is part of global efforts to reduce plastic in the waste stream, especially the approximately eight million metric tonnes of waste plastic that enter the earth's ocean every year.This helps to reduce the high rates of plastic pollution.

Considering we are in 21st century everything is like plastic.There are millions and millions of hand set or mobile phone,Dvd players,Computers and many more electronic that are made using plastics.The plastic are of bigger help.

                    Big question is :technology changes very fast and each an every day plastic is been disposed.Today we are talking about iphone,like 3 years ago technology was different,Where did the old phone waste materials go.They are polluting our environments.

There a lot of paper bags,waste plastic like spoiled utensils that are lying all over.These is environment pollution.sometimes back government of Kenya had banned the manufacturing and selling of plastic paper bags,but it did not bear fruits.

 We need a better methods of reducing the disposal of plastics. 

How we can reduce the usage of plastic is difficult the only solution is to recycle the plastics.

My opinion on these is that One method of  encouraging and helping on  recycling of these plastic would be :-

•  Developing many a recycling companies in the world.
• Reducing the production of plastic.
• Encouraging the recycling companies by been given more funds,subsides and reduction of tax by government. 
• Coco cola company wash there glass bottles,why can't they also implement it also on the plastic bottles.
• Opening  up ready market for buying the disposed plastics materials like bottles,paper bags these may create employment to some individual and keep the environment clean.
• try and use other materials for packaging and also find another local ready material that is cheap and that can decay easily.

We need companies investing in the area of recycling plastics.Many plastics are imported from outside country.Why can't  we have many investors opening up this firms in the country.The following are the steps of recycling plastics from plastic recycle.

 There are many companies which are coming up.That are helping in recycling of the plastic some of these companies are suppose to be given more fund to help in improving our environment.Some of these compani

es are:-

• Chandaria Industries
• A-One Plastics 
• Taka Kenya
• EACR in Kenya
• FlipFlop Recycling Company

To list them but a few but they are suppose to be many in order  to help us  keep environment clean.

Scientist  have proven that plastic are the one cause of deadly disease called cancer.The quicker we get the alternative to the plastic the better.

DIGITAL RADIO NETWORK TO FIGHT POACHING

Sometimes i get very annoyed by some light weighted brain people.Who kill Wildlife animal to get rich,This is a big problem that have affected our country and world in general.It all started in 1974 August when widespread outcry led to ban on ivory trade and all the licenses revoked by govt #TheIvorySaga   .Kenya’s war against poaching has been boosted by a new set of superior digital and solar radio communications technology.

The over Ksh. 700 million projects funded by the French government will be instrumental in facilitating Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) security operations through the upgrading of its current analogue network to a more robust and enhanced digital platform.

This is a major boost to the country and particularly KWS as it will go a long way in achieving conservation targets under the National Elephant Action Plan aimed at using advanced technology in wildlife conservation, says Environment and Natural Resources CS Prof Judy Wakhungu said.

Speaking during the Launch of Kenya wildlife service Digital Radio Network and Solar Power backup project at the KWS headquarters in Langata, the CS said, the current phase of the project is worth seven million Euros will be repaid in thirty equal consecutive six monthly installments with an interest of 0.73 percent and a grace period of five years.This is according to http://www.environment.go.ke/?p=1092.

Below is the picture of honorable President Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta burning 15 tonnes of Ivory.

 Due to corruption in our country.This is why KWS officer are collaborating with the poacher.I do not think if the KWS officer are free from corruption and working hard there could still be poachers in our country.The officers have negligence and are corrupt.

The Elephant are been killed everyday.Who cares some  KWS officers do not care.But we believe our president cares and his  government.Those officers found with corruption should be fired.

I hope the Digital Radio Network will save the Wildlife and we have a better World.
