Can someone tell me how much Zambia has contributed to the current climate change. We would be ashamed to not that we have only contributed less than zero or close to Zero% and yet we are busy spending money on things that we have nothing to do with. The so called intelligensia feel that they are doing something. The UPND is the worst Govt, the worst pretenders and the dullest of all the leaders we have ever had. To be honest UPND is the worst vehicle for our national development.

Impressive leadership and glad to see the call, this is doable to reinforce our fight against load shedding. Afrikaconnector launched the end charcoal to stop deforestation through the promotion of alternative to charcoal solutions

So to you as long as Kariba dam does not produce water for generating electricity, Zambians have to cut down every tree for charcoal? Such backward mentality is what is making this country go backward

Too much lawlessness. We have ample laws but no implementation or enforcement happening.

With rampant loadshedding and high fuel prices what do you expect people to use. In the 24 plus hour of loadshedding we use charcoal in the homes. Where do you think the charcoal comes from? The law to make stock theft none bailable was made to protect HH’s cows. If you want people to stop charcoal burning, sort out the electricity problem and put in place controls and not threatening surfing people with imprisonment. You are the same silly government that is giving our minerals to foreigners tax free and huge chunks of land. You should have you priorities right.

Unless you are going to do the job yourself. Things are different from what it used to be
I did a bit of charcoal burning as high school pupil. The Kapenda Mabula were on site all the time allocating trees to be cut and labeling those not be cut. Today no one from the forestry offices wants to go in bush without a vehicle…. the old ones used bicycles…. the European forester uses a bicycle. Our educated forest officers love the office and right now I can see some sunbathing. They are in those jobs for lack of alternative.
