It's fantastic to connect with so many of you who believe, as I do, in the power of giving recycling ♻️ a stronger voice. Let's keep this momentum going, reach even more people, and build that cleaner, healthier environment we all envision, starting right here in Port Harcourt. Ready to dive into today's topic?

Let's be real, Plastic is everywhere, right? From the pure water sachet in your hand to the mountains of rubbish you see by the roadside. We're drowning in it, and it's not just bad, it's straight-up dangerous, and we can see that in our country NIGERIA. Remember that time the street flooded after heavy rain? All those plastic bottles clogging the gutters, that’s not a coincidence, it's a problem... Plastic pollution is a serious global problem due to its slow degradation, accumulation in the environment, and negative impacts on wildlife, ecosystems, and human health... Landscapes littered by plastic packaging have become common in many parts of the world... Burning plastic is kills us slowly. That black smoke you see from the dumpsite? That's poison. It's going into our lungs, causing all sorts of health problems. We can solve one problem by creating another.

"Waste is a crisis, especially here in Port Harcourt. Seeing the dumpsites along the airport road is devastating—the air is unbreathable. Landfills and burning waste pollute our land, air, and water. Nigeria produces about 2.5 million tons of waste yearly, with minimal recycling, harming our rivers. This isn't just ugly; it's dangerous. Dirty environments breed disease. Studies in Nigeria link poor waste management to cholera, malaria, and other serious illnesses. The WHO says environmental factors cause a huge portion of global disease. We must act now to protect our health and our environment."
