Impact of Solid Waste Management Practices on Environmental Protection Case o...Agriculture Journal IJOEAR
This Solid waste management practices are essential component of environmental infrastructure in human settlements; its poor management can lead to health problem and environmental destruction in general, this study was conducted in Kicukiro district. The data were collected on the sample of 97 households and some authorities through questionnaires, and interview and were analyzed using SPSS Version 20 (statistical tools) and this helped in generating tables and performing descriptive statistics like percentages, frequency, and mean. The results obtained revealed that that in terms of waste segregation is explained excluding solid wastes from liquid wastes considering the mean of 2.73 which was interpreted as high mean. Those results influenced the grand mean to become 2.04 which is interpreted as low mean. This means that waste segregation practices is not efficiently done in households located in Kicukiro. It was revealed that transportation of wastes is characterized by the short time of loading wastes considering the mean of 2.91 which is interpreted as high mean. The findings revealed that the environmental protection in Kicukiro District is characterized by the following: little harmful materials (plastic packages) in the soils considering the mean of 3.18. This showed that there is link between solid waste management practices and environmental protection in Kicukiro District. For proper practices of waste management which is positive but only for waste transportation to have a significant relationship with environmental protection considering the correlation coefficient of 0.259 and the p-value or Sig.(2-tailed) of 0.010 which is below the p-alpha of 0.05. It is recommended that Kicukiro District has to launch a sustained, education and communication campaign informing residents on the importance of managing waste properly and its importance to their health, the environment and cleanliness of the city or use another waste reduction strategy in order to encourage recyclable production of goods to allow access to recyclable products.

Good morning and welcome back to Energy Source, coming to you from New York, where the city swelters in its first heatwave of the season.
Nearly 80 million people were under alerts in the US north-east and midwest yesterday as temperatures in some municipalities reached record highs in a test to the country’s rickety power grid.
In other news, the Financial Times has a new Big Read this morning on Russia’s grip on nuclear power. Despite sanctions on its economy, the Kremlin continues to be an unrivalled exporter of nuclear power plants, building more than half of all reactors under construction globally. Read how Moscow is using these projects to wield global influence.
Today’s Energy Source dives into the latest Statistical Review of World Energy, the industry’s annual stocktake of global energy consumption. The report was published for more than 70 years by BP before it was passed over to the Energy Institute last year. The oil major remains a contributor.
Data Drill looks at a new analysis from the World Bank showing gas flaring is at a four-year high.

New report offers sobering view of the energy transition
Every year the Statistical Review of World Energy offers a behemoth of data on the state of the global energy market. This year’s findings highlight the world’s insatiable demand for energy and the need to speed up the pace of decarbonisation.
Here are our four main takeaways from this year’s report:
Fossil fuel consumption — and emissions — are at record highs
Countries burnt record amounts of oil and coal last year, sending global fossil fuel consumption and emissions to all-time highs, the Energy Institute reported. Oil demand grew 2.6 per cent, surpassing 100mn barrels per day for the first time.
Meanwhile, the share of fossil fuels in the energy mix declined slightly by half a percentage point, but still made up more than 81 per cent of consumption.

Environmental Education Programme for Integrated Solid Waste Management in Kiambu County, Kenya
1. Environmental Education
Programme for Integrated Solid
Waste Management in Kiambu
County, Kenya
By
RCE Greater Nairobi
And
County Government of Kiambu
2. TITLE OF THE PROJECT
Environmental Education Programme for
Integrated Solid Waste Management in
Kiambu County, Kenya
3. CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PROJECT AREA
Population – 1,623,282
Area – 2,449 Km2
There is steady increase in population and
urbanization leading to higher consumption of
natural resources and hence the resultant
generation of wastes.
Kiambu County produces over 900 tonnes of
solid waste per day. Of this, 70% of the waste is
collected and taken to the approved dumping
sites.
The rest is not collected and thus constitutes a
public eyesore and a public health challenge.
4. CHALLENGES THE PROJECT IS ADDRESSING
Insufficient public awareness and enforcement
of legislation is a hindrance to sustainable
solid waste management.
Understaffing and a lack of skilled staff in
waste management.
Solid waste is often dumped haphazardly in
urban open spaces.
Indiscriminate burning of plastic and other
wastes produces very toxic fumes which are
very harmful to human beings and the
environment.
Uncontrolled dumpsites are some of the major
sources of greenhouse gases contributing to
global climate change.
5. RATIONALE
There is indiscriminate disposal of waste
A culture of willful segregation of waste by
producers is lacking.
The methods of transporting the waste as
well as disposing it are not up to standard.
Most of the solid waste that is generated is
made of non-biodegradable materials
The programme will boost the effect of the
already formulated policy and legislative
initiatives on solid waste management
11. GOAL OF THE PROJECT
To transform the mindset and perception of the
Citizens of Kiambu County on sustainable
management of solid waste from cradle to
grave, enhance a clean county environment,
restore public health and trigger sustainable
income generation scheme through building an
economic enterprise around solid waste by
2022
12. PROJECT PHASES
Phase 1 – Planning and needs assessment
Phase 2 – Curriculum design and modules
development
Phase 3 – Training
Phase 4 – Monitoring and evaluation
13. EXPECTED RESULTS
A clean and healthy environment within Kiambu
County
Sustainable public health through improved
sanitation thus reducing environmental health
related diseases
Sustainable employment and income generation
scheme for the participating community based
groups (youth, women and people with
disabilities)
Enhanced businesses and profitability through
availing conducive environments to carry out
commercial activities
Capacity of participating community groups
14. TARGET GROUPS TO BE TRAINED
All persons handling wastes at Sub County level
The County environmental officers
County support staff that includes the sweepers, garbage
loaders and office cleaners.
Drivers and loaders of garbage trucks
Policy makers in the county government
Environmental committee of the County Assembly
Private waste handlers
People involved in sanitation.
Business community that includes the corporate
institutions
Community environment volunteers
The teachers in the schools within the county
15. OTHER ACTIVITIES RELATED TO THE PROJECT
Sorting and recycling of e-wastes
Waste water management
Conversion of waste to energy
Use of microorganisms in production of
manure from biodegradable wastes
16. KEY MESSAGE ABOUT THE PROJECT
The continued problem of waste management in
urban areas requires serious intervention.
The problem has been escalating because of
population growth, production and consumption and
economic prosperity.
SDG 12 – Emphasises responsible consumption and
production.
The Kenyan constitution in article 42 – Emphasises
that every person has the right to a clean and healthy
environment.
This includes the right to have the environment
protected for the benefit of present and future
generations through legislative and other measures
including education.
