** Deforestation ** Rapid development and increasing urbanisation with population growth has resulted in increased solid waste generation. Domestic activities and places near hospitals, market and industries generate a lot of wastes, which is a menace to the environment. This is a major problem because this could bring many disease and other environmental issues.
 * Deforestation is a major issue in **** Rwanda **** because people cut down trees for house hold uses like fuel for energy. ** ** Other commercial products like charcoal, timber, poles, medicine, food stuffs have greatly led to deforestation. Forests were also cleared in search for agricultural land and shelter for returnees, after the 1994 genocide in the country. This has had negative impacts on the environment such as; soil erosion, climatic changes and loss of biodiversity. **
