When William Ruto was sworn in as Kenya’s fifth president in September 2022, he used his inauguration speech to demand an end to humanity’s “addiction to fossil fuels” and reaffirmed Kenya’s commitment to reach 100% clean energy by 2030. Kenya is not far off this target today.

In 2021, 81% of Kenya’s electricity generation came from the low carbon sources of geothermal, hydro, wind, and solar power. Over half of this low carbon electricity came from geothermal energy, which Kenya has in abundance. So much in fact, that excess geothermal energy is released during the night when electricity demand is low. Installed geothermal capacity in Kenya could be increased by at least eightfold, which could open opportunities for scaling up green manufacturing capacity or exporting excess electricity to neighbouring countries.

Renewable rollouts have substantially improved energy access. In 2013, around 28% of Kenyans had access to electricity. By 2020, this had risen to over 71%. This was achieved as the population grew by over seven million over the same period, while the rate of urbanisation continued to gather pace. According to the World Bank, barely one million Kenyans had electricity in 1990 [which, back then, was approximately just 5% of the population].

Ruto’s words, and Kenya’s actions, are timely due to the backdrop they are made against. Amid Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and the vacuum created in global energy markets, European leaders and multinational fossil fuel firms have launched a ‘dash for gas’ across Africa, where a raft of new oil and gas projects, as well as old ones, are being given the green light. At COP27, Ruto kicked back against the dash for gas, stating that “we [Kenya] have taken a position that as a country we are going green and we are well on course.”

while i 1000 percent believe it has been twisted to suit a leftist agenda, the people who believe climate change is completely fake are legitimately fucking braindead

#emit toxic chemicals into the air for a century -> bad shit happens to the air #no one is saying ''the awful pollutant smog in LA and chinese cities is all fake!!'' they'll use it as a reason to not live in a city #but when you suggest that perhaps the entire world is like a city and the whole atmosphere is collecting pollutants #that are harmful to us and affecting the way heat remains in the atmosphere and shit #and suddenly you're globalist scum #like come on it's literally such simple point a to point b #not to mention record breaking weather and temps in the past 5-10 years #''no we should keep putting toxic gasses into the air that will then come down in the water and keep running paki sweatshops that only exist #to make globo homo billionaires more money and produce ungodly amounts of waste every year and ultimately destroy our planet. stfu faggot''#kys retard moment #щ #environmental

Shout-out to the ppl who felt like the whole world depends specifically on them since they were 13!!

It's a negative shout-out. Get therapy bestie.

sigh. so it's come to this has it. my life has arrived at the stage in which i am an absolute Tolkien nerd. alright then

#i am ok with this #i just. there are certain things that i care about enough to drop everything and rant about #air pollution. certain historical events. uuuummmmmm other things probably idk #im never aware of it until it happens. infodump mode can not be activated with love. only with setting the record straight #and now this is officially one of those things. alright then.#i was pretty happy that it was pretty much all stuff that never gets brought up casually for any reason but ok. alright.#just like how that post says it LOOKS LIKE he didn't even *start* it until age 45 but the roots of what made that world #stretched all the way back to childhood #so too my love for the things he made go back to my earliest memories. so really this was an inevitable thing #and a natural thing that i needed much growing up before i could appreciate them in this way #I'm not.. trying to say it's sophisticated or anything ........ just that this is more of a logical progression of things for me personally

Another form of Depression Discourse that I'm extremely wary of is "here are some things that can help with depression, so it's totally curable! You just have to do The Things, even if they're hard."

The issue is that—yes, there are things you may be able to do that can help with depression, for some people. There are habits that are likely to be helpful, like dragging yourself to things you normally like or getting exercise where possible.

Does this mean that those things intrinsically cure depression if you just pull yourself up by your bootstraps try hard enough? No. They can cure some people's depression completely. They can help other people's. It depends on the person.

But for me, the incessant do this, do that, you've got to take responsibility and get over it, has always been far more discouraging than learning about things like the relatively high rate of recurrence. I used to think that the reason I couldn't get past it was wholly on me. It kept coming back because I was lazy or undisciplined or self-indulgent or simply not doing the right things for whatever reason. Not trying hard enough. I told myself that if I could just summon up enough will to push myself past it, I would cure myself by sheer personal strength.

But I never could.

It tended to come back worse when I was under a lot of pressure, but no matter how good things were, it always returned. I'd spend a week or two feeling really good and motivated and energetic, then irritable and anxiously go-go-go yet very distractable—and then there'd be this awful crash into another episode of depression, over and over and over. I lived in my favorite city, I took walks, I went to readings, I volunteered, I kept myself and my apartment clean, and yet I couldn't overcome it.

The only thing that really put a significant dent in it was getting diagnosed as bipolar and put on mood stabilizers and eventually antipsychotics. And it still comes back! The crash is less extreme, most of the time—but I have grad student insurance for my medication, I have a psychiatrist and access to counseling when I need it, legal accommodations, and necessarily keep a fairly strict schedule. Going to my university in person rather than online helps, doing things I ordinarily like helps, sleeping regular hours helps. None of them help very much without medication. And for me, nothing helps enough to cure it.

The point is not that improvement is impossible, or that it never goes away for good. It does for some people! It does for many people. But, without denying the effort those people have put in, there is an element of good fortune to that. I think it's important for the people who aren't cured, who can never pull the bootstraps hard enough, to know that that's not a moral failing. It's not because we're weak or undisciplined, it's not because we aren't trying, it's not because we have any less value or merit than the people who get better or people who never have depression at all.

So, personally, I think a more important, generally accurate, and compassionate message than "depression will get better if you just try hard enough" is this one:

Whether you're cured or not, whether the usual recommendations help much or not, whether medications help or not: this isn't your fault.

India’s air pollution is a rolling disaster that shows no sign of slowing down. A 2022 report by the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air think tank found that “almost the entire population of India” is exposed to air pollution above the guidelines set by the World Health Organization. In 2019, air pollution killed an estimated 1.6 million Indians.

Environmental Issues: Focus on Air Pollution!

Hey everybody out there: My name is Katharina Waetzold and I am 21 years old. I am very passionate about environmental issues and want to create a blog that raises awareness and educates people about sustainability.

Today I want to focus on the air pollution: Air pollution is a major environmental issue that affects millions of people worldwide. It is caused by a variety of factors, including industrial emissions, transportation, and agricultural practices. Exposure to air pollution can have serious health consequences, including respiratory diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and even cancer. In this blog, we will discuss the causes and effects of air pollution and what we can do to reduce our impact on the environment.

At this point I want to give tips to reduce air pollution:

Use Public Transportation: Using public transportation such as buses, trains, or cycling can reduce the number of cars on the road, which in turn reduces air pollution.

Reduce Energy Consumption: Reducing energy consumption by using energy-efficient appliances and turning off lights when not in use can also help to reduce air pollution.

Use Renewable Energy: Switching to renewable energy sources such as solar or wind power can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, which contribute to air pollution.

Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle: Reducing waste, reusing items, and recycling can help to reduce the amount of waste that goes to landfills, which in turn reduces air pollution caused by waste disposal.

In conclusion, air pollution is a major environmental issue that affects our health, the environment, and the economy. However, by taking steps to reduce our impact on the environment, we can help to reduce air pollution and protect our planet for future generations.

If you have any questions or comments on points, you are welcome to write to me personally.

I would be happy if you follow my channel and like my posts!!!

Dan Quayle wouldve done numbers on here

#We're going to have the best-educated American people in the world #I am not part of the problem. I am a Republican #It isn't pollution that's harming the environment. It's the impurities in our air and water that are doing it
