With the escalating issue of air quality deterioration in African cities, including Nairobi, many individuals and organizations have intensified their efforts to combat this problem. They are working tirelessly to ensure good air quality in urban areas and raising awareness among residents to encourage actions that reduce air pollution and promote alternative practices for better air quality.

One notable figure in this movement is Bankslave, a graffiti artist based in Nairobi. Initially known for painting street walls and public transport vehicles (matatus) to convey political messages and preserve Nairobi's vibrant matatu culture, Bankslave has shifted his focus toward environmental activism, particularly regarding air quality in Nairobi.
