    "content": "While we employ technology, we have to look at safety to make sure that while we want to improve the global situation, condition and climate, we at the same time should not injure and cause loss of lives because of some of the developments. I want to support this ratification. It is a very important international law and instrument. There is a great concern. But most importantly is the attitude Kenyans adopt so that we can save trees. We should not just harvest trees carelessly. We need to control charcoal burning which is destroying natural vegetation. Some of these trees have taken hundreds of years to grow, but somebody destroys them in a day. Also, research to develop plants which will favour climatic conditions of different strains should be in place, so that we can protect the globe for the sake of the future of the world, the many nations which are there and the inhabitants, some of whom have been affected by the failing climate. Lastly, the use of green energy like wind power where it is applicable and solar in drier areas where the sun is plenty, is good. Use of solar reduces emissions from any other sources. We should utilise the rivers that we have and increase the number of dams where we can generate power. A great plant was started during the Kibaki regime to do the Thwake-Athi Dam in Makueni which will generate power. That will save cutting of trees. People should embrace practices which reduce use of trees and firewood. Scientists in Kenya are helping us with that. I support this and I thank you."
