Why do we need to talk about plastics?

Plastics pervade our existence! From habitats to water bodies. Driven by profit, plastic disproportionately impacts poor nations through waste colonism

Today we paid Safe Environment Hub a visit to their site, where their Black Soldier Fly project is located.

The project has an aspect of #circulareconomy where they use waste for rearing larvae then the larvae are used as feeds for poultry and fish at the same time fertilizers for crops.

'The Rising Waters' , by Denzel Sore is an artwork that shows flooded homes due to #ClimateChange . It captures the struggles of the most vulnerable, especially women and children, amidst these crises.

It's a touching piece that urges us to take #ClimateActionNow

Highlight of the Week 🚨

Our youths attended an International Day of Disaster Risk Reduction (IDDRR) sensitization forum.

The forum raised awareness on how we can actively reduce risks and vulnerabilities associated with disasters that affect us all.

#ClimateCrisis

Only a strong Global Plastics Treaty can solve our plastic pollution crisis.

⚠️ People need the money that billionaires are hiding in tax havens. This year, we can change this!

The African group has proposed changing the global tax rules, and the majority of countries are in favour. It's unfair that only rich OECD countries get to decide.

Share this video to urge governments to halt this destructive deep sea industry before it's too late. 💔

Our hearts go out to everyone affected by floods. Sending you love and strength.

Remember to keep safe, stay updated, evacuate if necessary and avoid flood waters or flooded areas.

#flooding #ClimateCrisis

The #floods in kenya has claimed many lives, including children. Yesterday, a school bag was found with a name on it but not the child. Our children are paying for a crisis they did not create. They are paying for it with their lives or with their future being cut short.

Kenya's devastating floods are a stark reminder of the urgent need for climate action.

We send our condolences to affected communities, calling for bold leadership and accountability from world leaders.

It's time for real solutions to protect our people and planet.

The second-to-last round of talks for a #plastictreaty have wrapped without agreement on whether or not to mandate a cap on making new plastic, a key demand of some nations and conservationists, but one fiercely opposed by industry and oil producers.
