From Waste to Fuel

Most countries and organizations in today’s world are working hard to find ways to cut down on energy bills, become greener and eco friendly! One man in Uganda has done just that! The phrase “turning lemons into lemonade” summarizes his plan! Abasi Kazibwe Musisi has found a way to take excess waste and turn it into briquettes that can be used as an alternative to firewood as well as charcoal! His briquettes cut down on the burning of charcoal, which doesn’t burn clean, as well as limits the amount of trees and forestation that has to be cut down for use as firewood. This is a much cheaper and cleaner way for people to live in Uganda!
