Most of us view the AC as a refuge from heat and dust, but without proper management, your cooling system can become a concentrated source of the very pollutants you're trying to escape. In my latest radio talk show at at radio city, I talk about AC and air quality data, having these conversations is one critical way to drive better policy adoptions. It is partly giving the data collected a voice . Few ways to keep safe as an ardent user of AC: 1. Service Your Filters Monthly

We all love the smell of a Sunday afternoon grill. It’s the scent of family, tradition, and good food. But behind that familiar aroma lies a data point that should not be ignored, charcoal usage can push PM 2.5 levels to 473, 31 times over the Daily health limit. This is 31 times over the WHO health daily limit. An occasional grill is a choice, but for millions of mothers across our country, it is a daily reality. In many homes, mothers spend hours every single day hunched ov

At Public Square we are thrilled to celebrate the successful installation of the air quality monitor at Bulange, a significant achievement for the health and sustainability of the Kingdom of Buganda. We are honored to collaborate with  Energy Policy Institute at the University of Chicago (EPIC) , the University of Wisconsin, New York University Abudhabi and Buganda Kingdom on this groundbreaking initiative. This milestone is central to the  #EmpewoBweBulamu  project, embodyin

Static sensors tell a story, but according to latest research, they are missing nearly half the plot. A recent study published in Nature Health (2026) highlights a critical "Mobility Gap" in urban environmental science( https://lnkd.in/dkfZ8RN2 ) .Traditional stationary monitors, while useful, can leave up to 44% of air pollution hotspots undetected because they fail to account for how people actually move through their environment. At Public Square, we aren't just observing

Uganda is sliding from managed democracy into open authoritarianism as electoral manipulation, institutional capture and elite capitulation deepen, stripping voters of even the minimal power once preserved through the performance of competitive politics. That President Yoweri Museveni has, over the past four decades, favoured authoritarianism over democracy is not in serious dispute. His early engineering of a one-party system after taking power, alongside the deaths of alleg

Uganda is a country in motion. I, and I believe most Ugandans, would hope for it to be forward motion and not regression. But it takes more than hoping. For the good ideals that drive a society forward (e.g. checks & balances, recognition of bodily autonomy, valuing lives, democracy) do not sprout from a vacuum.   They come from a number of background applied philosophies interacting. So if we only try to propagate great ideals without grounding them in the concepts they're d
