Submitted by Hamisi Mkuzi on Mon, 2014-08-11 16:42
'Young people are often the most passionate voices on climate change, and with reason – as the planet warms over the coming century, it is the future of the youngest at stake. As such, it is often youth that are the loudest and the most ambitious in calling for action, proving to be anything from serious combatants to potential allies to the politicians in charge. But do their pickets and their pleas actually achieve anything?' Check out the link below: http://www.rtcc.org/2014/08/11/11-ways-young-people-have-revolutionized-...

Waste as a Resource: an Excerpt from European Environment Agency

Submitted by Ja’afaru Akibu on Sat, 2014-07-05 16:50

In line with the earlier promise I made in my last post on e-waste to share knowledge of Waste-Wealth initiatives. Here is an important note for EEA.

What if we could use waste as a resource and thereby scale down the demand for extraction of new resources? Extracting fewer materials and using existing resources would help avert some of the impacts created along the chain. In this context, unused waste also represents a potential loss.

Call for Global Unity Diversity

Submitted by Hamisi Mkuzi on Mon, 2014-06-30 18:16

Greetings!

There is need to embrace a more radical approach to achieving global peace and unity at present and for the future. It is essential to make sure that most (if not all) people irrespective of their cultures are educated on the importance of accepting the differences that exist amongst people in the whole world. Education can be a vital resource tool during this unity campaign. Unity should take a larger scope and be able to accommodate every individual in the sense that no one would feel alienated from a particular group of people.

Unity in Diverse

Submitted by Hamisi Mkuzi on Sat, 2014-06-28 18:47

Lets diversify unity among ourselves. Racism is NO good. The world is changing at a fast rate so we should team up to address the challenges that come along our path .

My color is just the planned creation by God, so is yours' too. The world is diverse and the fact is that we can't all be at one place so I do pray that we be one despite of where we come from!!

Let's all Unite for Global prosperity.

Thank you,
