WHAT I LEARNT FROM THE PEOPLE'S SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS (SDGs) FESTIVAL

 WHAT I LEARNT FROM THE PEOPLE'S SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS (SDGs) FESTIVAL

Everyday we strive to be better in all spheres of life because we have to. Sometimes we adopt behaviours  that we think will help us in achieving our goals. It's always good and better to adopt the behaviours that will really drive you to prosperity. The 17 Sustainable Development Goals  (SDGs) can be the 17 behaviours that can help us build behavioural changes that will be the pivots of development in the different communities we belong to.

As on the people that attended the recently concluded People's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) festival held at Lugogo Grounds Kampala, i came to realise that we all have a responsibility to ensure that the behavioural concepts embedded in the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are are adopted by everyone in order to move into the journey of success and development for everyone. Both the young, old and the marginalised groups or people. No one should be left behind. 

With the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) well understood by people in the world and in the communities to which we belong to, we shall be who we want to be because the 17 SDGs want us to be better people, better communities and a better world. Like a new child when borne, the parents strive hard to have their child grow everyday through following a systematic procedure e.g. feeding the child on healthy growing foods. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are the kinds of concepts that I can relate to foods which parents feed on their newly borne children. We may not be babies or communities that are malnourished in terms of the fundamental growth of people and communities but however on the other hand, we still need to grow stronger everyday.

Dear youth, women, men, women, young and old, it's by ourselves that the different communities we live in shall grow and develop. Let's adopt the ways that will or shall help us develop and this could be done through adopting the 17 SDGs by incorporating them into our everyday living standards. As a Youth, i have and will al5dedicate myself to localize the 17 SDGs to the lowest concentrations of people (people living in the rural areas) who could or may not be able to understand the wonderful information embedded in the 17 SDGs. The messages in the SDGs can be achieved. Let no one be left behind because we are interdependent on each other and by having ourselves live in better communities, life will be will or shall be enjoyed by everyone.

I want to thank the various stakeholders and institutions that organised the PEOPLE'S SUSTSINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS FESTIVAK Kampala for your playing the roles given to you and it's time for us as individuals, organisations, other government institutions to bring in our supporting efforts so as to achieve the common goals or interests of the Sustaianbale Development Goals (SDGs)

THE BAD BEHAVIOURS THAT COULD SUFFOCATE NATURE

THE BAD BEHAVIOURS THAT COULD SUFFOCATE NATURE In most of our environments we live in so many things are done which end up affecting the environment. its not that we lack the knowledge about the dangers of such bad behaviors but instead some people are ignorant about them. These bad behaviors are done on a daily basis leaving planet earth in tears because no one seems to be friendly to it. Why would you negligently throw plastic bags and bottles on the ground. After enjoying your drink packaged in either a plastic bag or bottle, the best way to show mother planet earth that your her friend would be disposing off properly that plastic bag or bottle. However almost everyone has failed to grasp or know the dangers of such items to the environment. Scientifically it is proved that a polythene or plastic can   take anywhere from 20 to 500 years to decompose, depending on the material and structure. This is so scary  to mother planet and don't feel that mother pl...

ENVIRONMENT IS EVERYONE'S RIGHT TO PROTECT BUT NOT EVERYONE'S PRIORITY TO DESTROY

  Environment Is Everyone's Right To Protect But Not Everyone's Priority To Destroy. This is because nature is a fundamental component in society that helps man meet his day to day basic basic needs like water, food, shelter. Then why would we participate in destroying something that sustains our lives. We are called to defend and shield the environment at all times. Herbert-Mugisha
