PEOPLE POWER!

Am sitting here envisioning a Kenya driven by the people and not by the uncaring self seeking individuals disguised as our leaders. True, good policies and true politicians good life! But the reverse is painfully true! And that is the malaise Kenya is chronically suffering from as well as many other countries of the world. May all you reformers out there be re-energised and keep fighting for the true ideals of humanity. 
Ladies and gentlemen, our environment  is the single basic property that we collectively own, and nobody, a billionaire or a pauper can escape from its wrath whenever it gets fired up! So how come we are so collectively blinded, save for the Late Wangari Maathai's of the this world...Mum we still celebrate you post humously! May Your soul rest in eternal peace. 
Back to us who have the potential to transform our immediate environment. 
From where you are standing now, what can you do? 
Do not say nothing, because, as surely as the Sun will rise tomorrow morning...at least for us  in the tropics...you got something you can do to make this beautiful treasure, planet earth a better place. Like the late Apple Co-founder  Steve Jobs once said, "virtually everything we see around us was created and has  a potential, therefore, to be changed and made better." Unfortunately we are transforming them to our own detriment.
Think and Act decisively now because the clock is ticking pretty fast...tic...toc....But before then....

Plant a tree...
Stop littering....
Use a bike to work....
Service your car releasing dangerous fumes into the atmosphere....
Build with recyclable material and avoid wood and wood products to discourage unnecessary logging...
The list is endless.... Dear reader you can surely add more!

Food for thought....
What can I do to make my environment safer and better?
