Incentive Based Oil Recycling In Kenya

Collins Apuoyo is an environmentalist from Africa currently working on urban development, waste management, and sanitation along with pollution. These three are the major issues being faced by the population in Africa. Thereby it has been realized that an international level and incentive based intervention is needed in order to control at least one issue. Water pollution is a kind of pollution, which is partly because of the oil being dumped into water reservoirs.

In order to help Kenya from increased negative effects of pollution, currently more focus is being given to using used oil, which was otherwise considered waste. Out of a total amount of 40 million liters of new oil, 14 million liters of oil is wasted. This form of oil is more toxic. Oil is dumped in sea waters, and rivers out of which there are some rivers on which Kenya’s slum populations depend as Ngong River. This recycling of oil promises to increase economic development in Kenya.

This project can promise less privileged communities in Kenya to have more chances of employment along with improved opportunities to improve businesses. Although Kenya’s Environment Management and Coordination Act of 1999 does provide some guidelines to dispose off used oil but these strategies are unaffordable and expensive. The main strategy used by Collins Apuoyo is to pay the people from slum for every liter of oil they help in reusing and recycling.

In addition, additional incentives are also paid by the organization of Collins Apuoyo for collection of oil by the people from slum populations. Therefore by the help of such program, not only environmental protection is being ensured but there are increased chances of slum populations in Kenya to gain advantages in order to improve their small businesses (Collins Apuoyo). Sustainable Development In Peru Rural Areas Ashoka is an organization, which is currently focusing on using the solar energy in order to increase development in rural areas.

Sustainable development is the main focus of Anna Zucchetti in order to help rural areas of Peru. it has been observed that the valley areas and rural areas of Peru are being penetrated by a rapid growth of urban population that is more of a threat to valley area’s development and long term sustenance. It has been observed and many environmentalists have identified that there is an increased threat if ecological and environmental damage if increased urban penetration in rural areas continues.

Thereby there is a need to conserve and save the green spaces from city dwellers. By the help of specially designed strategies there are chances of not only maintaining the local cultures of rural communities in Peru villages but also to sustaining the rural development. Sustainable development in these rural areas shall be ensured by implementation of different strategies that are implemented by organization named as Grupo GEA founded by Anna Zucchetti (Anna Zucchetti). Global Intervention in Local Issues through Comics

Another important theme that has been observed on the website of Ashoka is an idea of an Ashoka fellow, Sharad Sharma to reach millions of Indians and international group of intellectuals by the help of comics. Sharad Sharma argues that comics are considered fun to read thereby by highlighting issues that are generally faced by the lesser privileged communities in India can help in making intellectuals and privileged authorities on the globe to become aware of such issues.

Comics are used as a tool of communication these days as can be observed in case of many newspapers thereby social scientists have realized that comics can be used to communicate not only with people within India but also outside India. World Comics India (WCI) is the organization that has conducted more than 500 workshops on a global scale. This organization has collected comics from many countries including Pakistan, India, Nepal, Latin America and middle east. Thereby by browsing through the website, a user sitting miles away can have an idea about the issues that are being faced in another country.

Other than these, Ashoka and its fellow workers are intervening in human rights movements especially in US. Polaris Project has been designed in order to reach the victims of human rights violation around the world (Sharad Sharma). Conclusion By the help of many international organizations, some social changes can be anticipated as the projects highlighted in the previous sections have been implemented in order to make improvements in the lives living in rural communities and people who belong to slum communities in different countries.

There is a need that global communities realize the issues that are being faced in many countries on smaller or larger scales that can help in international communities taking steps that are required in order to intervene in problem solving. In order to make things better in under developed countries and societies, there is a need of international organizations to intervene.
