The Crisis Climate,

 History knows that children are the pillars of the society in ways more than just them growing taller and bigger every day. In the United States, one Greta is championing for climate change at a very young age, an age she should be getting to know boys, or maybe she is; kids, they grow up so fast. Globally, climate and other important atrocities such as drought and famine are marginalized by the very same government striving to improve livelihoods at the very basic unit, family. It is quite a concerning revelation that climate change can boost livelihoods and maybe the 21st Century folk could save the planet. We have heard the stories of world orders and that the Covid-19 is one of them, a stunt by the world stakeholder, countable men and women across the world, who fart and the world trembles. We, the people have worn masks for close to three years meaning, air circulation was cut worldwide! Worldwide i repeat. We have heard of the funny jokes that tamed animals in zoos were not tasting their freedom. Could this pandemic be the onslaught of a climate crisis, i wonder, and so should you. 

In Kenya, Wangari Maathai won the Nobel for her efforts in conserving forest cover. Then, maybe, the professor thought forests were at least a cover in the 1990s not forgetting there was enough green cover and the air was cold and sharp in the morning. Plastics were part of the garden, i remember ours, full of plastic and broken bottles. The ideal 1990s middle class. Is there a way out? We have heard of the G7 summit talk on the same yet little to no fruits. They find solutions in making clean energy and electric vehicles, nuclear energy and such. Us, acha turudi ocha tupande miti is all i could say. What if we planted a tree every morning before going to work? Us as Kenyans could elevate to the statuses of those thinking clean energy. The air could be colder again and sleep would be much sweeter. The global horn of climate crisis could be a thing of their own. Question remains, is the covid a climate crisis RPG?
