Lifestyle has an impact on the Environment

Individuals develop a lifestyle due to years of exposure to their immediate cultural environment, economic environment, sociopolitical environment, ethics as applied in all aspects of community life, and natural surroundings via parental or family influences. However, in all of its manifestations, globalization has influenced how people live in recent years. In turn, their impact on individuals influences decision-making and lifestyle choices. As a natural interaction phenomenon, the natural environment reacts proportionately to what people have given it in the form of natural disasters.

Otherwise, it was critical to identify the various ways in which lifestyle is formed, to highlight the nature of adopted lifestyles and their influence on individuals, lifestyle influences on environmental health, and the consequences of natural environment responses on individuals and possible solutions. In response to the questions posed above, the districts of Kampala, Iganga, Mayuge, Jinja, and Nairobi were examined through observations, focused group discussions with community members who were mindful of gender, stories, and cases, and a review of data from other individuals and organizations who had worked or lived there.

Interestingly, rather than large buildings, long bridges, and skyscrapers, modernization of the natural environment - where residents' residence did not alter their surroundings: they co-existed with the natural environment - including wild animals in neighboring national game packs - was the focus in Nairobi. And as a result of unequal resource distribution, violence in Nairobi has persisted since independence, as the gap between nationals who owned resources (such as arable land) widened - and the means to eventually access development opportunities (such as jobs and benefits from public services) became more of a pipe dream than a reality.

Only modernization (or development) mattered in the Ugandan districts of Jinja, Mayuge, Iganga, and Kampala, and only in terms of asphalt roads and towering governmental and commercial buildings, not natural environment development of which humanity was a part. Despite the appearance of development (or modernization) in Jinja and Kampala, proper waste management measures were not adopted.

The rubbish problem remained a hot concern in the town and city. Many hippopotamuses have been displaced in the Mayuge region, which was formerly home to hippopotamuses and had a lively natural forest, by populations of immigrants from Teso and Kenya and the rapidly rising local population. Their colony was fiercely guarded after savage conflicts with security in quest of lush land and fish for commerce and livelihood. Because of garbage-related pollution, Kampala has faced (and continues to experience) the annual risk of cholera and other waterborne illnesses, which mostly affect children. The Kampala suburbs of Bwaise, Kawempe, Zana, Ndeeba, Kalerwe, Kireka, Katwe, Ndeeba, and Kanyanya have been hit the worst since the bulk of the towns is located in wetland zones.

On Entebbe Road, areas including Lufuka, Najjanankumbi, Namasuba, and Zana were inundated. The Clock Tower and Kisenyi were the most impacted in the city center. The most recent incidence was severe rains in Kampala from February to May 2010, which flooded homes and destroyed sewage systems, polluting food and other human habitats while prohibiting affected communities from accessing critical highways and leaving them without electricity. Schools and businesses were shuttered for most of the day in the affected areas.

This was particularly true during the 2003-2003 El Nio rains, which carried human waste into rivers and foods, producing contamination. There were 200 reported probable cholera cases. Furthermore, despite the Noise Standards and Control Regulations (2003), which advise that licenses are available for property owners whose establishments are likely to emit noise over the permissible levels, noise pollution in the name of religion or faith, as well as parties, has continued to create stressful conditions for people living in the suburbs. Since
1901, Mayuge and Iganga have seen an epidemic of sleeping sickness, an ecologicallyregulated parasite that is now only handled by tsetse fly spraying and trapping, while violent clashes between forest officials and encroachers persist. As though replacing sleeping sickness, the malaria outbreak posed the biggest threat. On the one hand, the Ugandan government displayed a lack of environmental concern when it called for an end to the national forestry authority's evictions of encroachers.

Land ownership as a natural resource was a subject of dispute in Nairobi, Kenya, worsened by election fraud in 2007. Mungiki was engaged in the 2002 deaths of 23 people in Kariobangi, Nairobi; over 1,500 people were murdered, and 300,000 were homeless in the weeks after the December 2007 presidential elections, in which President Mwai Kibaki was accused of vote manipulation. In Jinja, Uganda, sanitation-related problems were more obvious in the suburbs than in town, where the elite made "noise" to persuade politicians to fix urban concerns while the less represented south suffered environmental choking.

In conclusion, rather than selfish and egocentric yet destructive behavior toward nature, and nature fighting back by creating conditions for infectious diseases and "wild" rains, the people of Uganda's districts of Kampala, Jinja, Mayuge, and Iganga should take a leaf from their Nairobi counterparts and learn to and truly co-exist with nature or the natural environment - as this would create certain climatic conditions (as low as 10 degrees Celsius as possible).

Fortunately, unpleasant events have always compelled humanity to seek solutions. Although some researchers have previously produced fascinating discoveries and suggestions for the better, in Uganda, politics has been the root of all beneficial reform activities supporting populism. Kenya's peaceful future was secured by the approval of a new constitution on August 27, 2010, resolving local disputes. The natural environment must not be undermined to meet man's selfish interests, whether in governance, culture, religion, economic decision making, media influences, or man's ignorance, simply because it has no known language to complain in or its language (natural disasters) is not easily understood. However, in self-defense, it will always make its own points by bringing uncontrollable downpours, fostering parasites, and polluting food, resulting in disease or even death.
