Alfredo Moser discovered that a plastic bottle with water and chlorine can light up the inside of a home during the day.

These lamps work with sunlight refraction, using chlorine to prevent water from turning green by mold or algae.🔋♻️💡

I need plastic shredder machine for more efficiency.

Hello Everyone, hear my cry and help me archive my goal as I have taken upon myself to help solve or better still eliminate plastic pollution.

Help share to reach as many who would like to help make this dream a reality.

I need a plastic Shredder machine (manual or automatic) to kick start my project. I researched and gotten into contact with machine manufacturing companies who would like to sell at a cheaper rate because of the ideology behind this project.

From the enquires made, the shipping and duty alone cannot be borne by an individual that's why am appealing to anyone who can help to make this a reality.

By 2050 there could be more plastic than fish in the ocean. Yet the problems start long before plastic reaches our oceans, rivers and beaches, and so must the solutions.

From protecting food and medicines to making technology accessible and affordable, our modern economy relies on plastic for many things. But the way we use this material has resulted in a crisis of waste and pollution.

People around the world are coming together to demand change. Many are changing the way they shop, what they eat and how they live. Millions of dollars are being invested in cleaning up plastics from our oceans, rivers and streets. But all this vital work will be for nothing if ever more plastic continues to be landfilled, burned, or escape into our environment.

We must tackle this flood at the source.

We must eliminate the plastic we don’t need – the throwaway straws, cutlery and cups; unnecessary packaging and items that can be replaced with better alternatives.

We must innovate so all the plastic we do need is designed to be safely reused, recycled, or composted.

And we must circulate everything we use, making sure the plastic we produce stays in the economy and never becomes waste or pollution.

Some businesses, working side by side with governments, are already changing how plastic is designed, used and re-used, to stop the pollution before it starts. Yet we need much more to happen, and many more to follow their lead. That work must start now, with firm commitments and immediate action.

Through the Global Commitment, which sees businesses and governments unite behind a common vision and ambitious, time-bound targets, we can draw a line in the sand. Because only when we come together and use the combined power of innovation, industry, finance, policy, and the people, will we finally turn the tide on plastic pollution.

The question is not whether a world without plastic pollution is possible, but what we will do together to make it happen.

Please share until we see a change in our environment.

Be part of the revolution now!

Recycling

Please read this well:
Do you believe that we as Ghanaians can live a better way?

What can we the people do to help?

We know the role government has to play, put that aside for now.

For this post, let’s share ideas on what we ourselves can do to help.

Don’t say the usual, change our behavior etc. let’s make it a bit more practical and keep it positive.

On waste management

First up is West Africa Senior High School with the project: From 'Borla or waste' to Clean Energy... Using waste from the school kitchen to produce gas for everyday cooking.

There are fundamental problems in Ghana, and we must all get involved in addressing them.

The thinking, the attitude, the wish, and the actions from all of us needs to be reexamine.

We all need change in ourselves and in the system 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭

Upcycle

Painful Times

Ghana mourns ‘Fire and Flood’ victims of June 3, 2015 tragedy. Today in History, exactly 6 yrs ago, Ghana experienced the worst flood disaster in history as rainfall turned into a devastating fire & flood catastrophe.

154 people died & hundreds suffered severe burns.

Let's learn to recycle

WASTE IN THE CITY

Waste management is a collective effort.
Wherever there are many people waste will be generated be it home or abroad.

LET ME MAKE THESE POINTS.

1. It's the duty of authority to provide disposal avenues.

2. It's the duty of individuals to dispose the waste at the avenue.

3. It's the duty of authority to empty the avenues when they are full.

4. It's the duty of authority to punish offenders.

People at East Legon or Airport residential area not from Australia keeping the area clean.

Systems work perfectly there.

The dirt on our streets, lorry terminals and markets is largely due to the IRRESPONSIBILITY of the authority.

A container is full in public and you're blaming pedestrians. SHOULD THEY SWALLOW IT?

A WHOLE MINISTRY HAS BEEN CREATED FOR SANITATION.

I know most people are buried in politics that why they try to cover up the failure of leaders by blaming the citizenry.

When someone dies during labour you blame the midwife.
When students fail en masse you blame teachers.

When a politician fails, you exonerate them and blame yourselves.

Our best solution is to recycle
