A man rests under the shade of an acacia tree in Ngoloriet sub-county in Napak district on February 2nd, 2012. Because the trees in the semiarid Karamoja sub region shed off the leaves due to the drought and heatwave that struck parts of eastern and north eastern Uganda in February, the man used polythene bags and cement paper bags in the place of the leaves to provide shade from the raging sunshine. The photo was published in Sunday Vision on February 5, 2012.

Save the Future. The Photo shows a seed bed. In country gifted by nature where almost anything inserted in the ground grows, its ironic that we hardly plant trees even when we know how important it is and that we shall pay heavily for mistreating the environment If we don’t act now.

Death or Life. The Biggest source of fuel in Uganda is charcoal. It’s majorly used for cooking by most households. The unregulated cutting of trees is quickly depleting the country’s forest reserves. If the status quo remains, soon we shall face a crisis with an acute lack of essential fuels.

Waste Disposal. Shows many plastic bottles being collected to be sold. In the back ground is a Boda Boda and a truck. Humans are the greatest cause of environmental degradation and government has made little effort in controlling human behavior in waste disposal. So poor waste disposal and the importation of old cars that produce dangerous fumes are a major contributor to environmental degradation in Uganda.

Some day there may be no rain. The photograph shows the Impact of a rain drop on water while it was raining. The simple things we take for granted like rain are fast becoming an issue. The patterns are becoming so irregular that we can no longer accurately predict whether patterns. This adversely affects agriculture in Uganda which is the back bone of our economy.

Be responsible. A milk pack clearly shows with diagrams that we are to dispose the package after consumption but that is not a habit we Ugandans have. Very embarrassing and dangerous but it’s a reality.
