About 2 weeks back, somewhere in Kampala
I was attending this training with a number of colleagues from the world of journalism
And then, one of us raised this point of the waste or if you want to call it garbage, please feel free to do so

He used the example of urine, that we all push outta our systems
With a basic example of estimating that Kampala has close to 3 million inhabitants, everybody should be able to let out at least half a litre of urine, a day…right?
Am looking at 1,500,000 litres of urine, per day, in the very least…which numbers could even shoot up to 5 possibly 7 million litres of urine, DAILY…

That was the math’s on paper…how about the math’s on ground or in the field?
Assuming you decide to be a URINE-RETAILER…. Or even, a wholesaler….
Who would you be your primary customers and consumers of your product?

Would it be farmers, institutions, science labs, manufacturing plants?
Or nobody at all?
Hell yeah…the government sounds about right, doesn’t it?
At what price would you be transacting? I’ll leave that to you…
I mean, a little more money has never hurt anybody, has it?

Look around you…there’s so much everywhere….i mean, our oceans are having a battle of sorts between the trash at the bottom and the fish living there…
The space is growing smaller everywhere but how are you going to exploit that window to make room for another day, human being, some money and sustainable living?

Remember, the world is full of us and we are disposing off much more rubbish than we used to, back in the day… think outside the boardroom and deeper into our minds.
I think rubbish management is all about as the people we need to create space in our homes were we can store this gabbage i normally see people who pay for there rubbish to be dumbed me personally i do burn my rubbish in my back yard mostly polythene then food left over is dumped in my garden…….
Aaaahhhhhh….that’s interesting, Tito. Thank you for sharing and appreciating.
It makes me sad to see all the garbage out there like that!
Hhhhhmmmmmmm….same here, Joleene ! ?❤️?
We all need to be better and more mindful not to be wasteful. We waste so many food in the US when there are so many places around the world that would be fortunately to even have food. Reuse and recycle.
????????❤️
This is such a great question to reflect, also good to teach our kids now. In Japan, waste management is taught thoroughly.

This is a good wake-up call for us! It’s about time we do something about our garbage. Thank you for sharing this.

I feel like we have really ruined our planet and it will take a lot of work to fix the damage we have done. The photos of the trash is very disheartening.

People need to be more disciplined and aware that we are slowly but surely killing our planet with our bad habits. This is an extremely important topic to write about and thank you for this!

It is high time to think about waste management at the global level to protect our planet from being dirty. Your article is an eye-opener for everyone. Thank you for sharing!
You are welcome, Kumar!

What a thought-provoking post and it’s a shame that plenty of garbages is being thrown in random places. I am recycling most of my trash and try to join organizations that help with the environment and cleaning up.
😍😍👏🏿👏🏿
This i quite thought provoking. There is so much trash and other unmentionables all around.
