Did you know that #AirPollution is one of the leading causes of deaths in Uganda? It is the cancer on the roads. The TB in our homes. And yes, the festive season makes it worse 🙆🏿 ⚠️ 1 in 3 babies do not make it past year one because of polluted air. ⚠️ Kampala loses 1 in 5 lives to dirty air. We know that holidays mean more travel, more burning, more smoke, but also more risk. Celebrate responsibly. ✅ Sort your rubbish into the right bins and avoid burning it. ✅ Limit unnecessary driving. Switch off that car engine when in traffic or when waiting. ✅ Use cleaner and safer cooking energy like gas or electricity instead of charcoal and firewood. Join the #CleanAir movement.
