ENVIRONMENT SWITCH INITIATIVE UGANDA

MY ENVIRONMENT MY LIFE When I talk about environment, I mean the natural components that surround   human beings or it may refer to the conditions and circumstances in which something or someone's growth is influenced, our lives are purely dependent on the environment in many ways . Environment fundamentally plays a very big important role in providing human necessities that is food, clothing and shelter thereby making planet Earth unique from other planets as it's the only planet that supports human life. Its the environment that everyone relies on for one's realization of human life. Me and you entirely have a strong linkage with the environment for it provides a lot of incentives that support the human life. The foods, waters, beautiful   sceneries and many more other components of the environment makes life complete and enjoyable. Life would seemingly be a misery and disgusting for there are no supporting factors like food which is highly gotten from the environment...

  NATURE A BASIC NEED OF MAN Humans are closely connected to nature, and everyone enjoys, for example, viewing beautiful scenes, being at the beach to hear the sounds of the waves, traveling far beyond the earth to see different kinds of animals, etc. Aside from the many gifts it gives us that are necessary for our survival, it helps us to de-stress and reduce anxiety symptoms. When we are within nature, we feel better emotionally and physically, and that’s why we continuously talk about its beauty in many ways. We don’t get excited about nature because of the additional items we get from it, but because of the different formations of nature, which stimulate our feelings and thinking.  Often, it’s merely the perception of these things that brings us pleasure, and this is an emotional and effective response to our health through experiencing the beauty of nature. Nature is beautiful because it's alive, moving, and reproductive, because in nature we observe the growth and d...

How Ecosystem Restoration can undo Environmental Damage What would happen if one day, all of our environmentally destructive activities stopped? Probably, our planet would start a process of healing itself. But we don't have to wait for an apocalypse for this to happen. In fact, the UN declared the years 2021 to 2030 the Decade on Ecological Restoration and it hopes to mobilize nations all over the world to restore their beautiful natural treasures. If humans disappeared, how long would it take for the earth to recover? We know that humans won’t magically disappear, and if we did, we wouldn’t be around to observe the results. Yet, we also know that recovery depends on certain considerations including the extent of ecosystem disturbance and the type of ecosystem in question. Before we go on, let’s name a few examples. Poaching a single species Clear-cutting a forest Climate change I’ve chosen these three examples for a reason. They each represent broad categories of ...

A SHORT MBALE FLOODS CASE STUDY A short case study about the 2022 Mbale floods that happened in Mbale on the 30th of July 2022 due to the heavy rains that ravaged some parts of Mbale. First and foremost, this had never happened in Mbale leaving the fact that heavy rains have always occurred but without causing heavy negative effects. The Eastern parts of Uganda; Kapchorwa, Bulambuli and all other upper parts neighboring Mbale City yearly receive the rains but with slight or no effects however the 2022 rains left behind the environment so much affected with heavy floods. According to different sources, the main causes or the over flooding that claimed lots of lives and massive destruction in Mbale is the misuse of the environment. People have constructed and cultivated right up to the riverbanks, and these were the most affected. Wetlands have been encroached on and that is a problem because when wetlands are intact, they at least help to control the pace of the water when it rains heav...
