Vent of the month

Plastic water sachets… young kids make small change from selling icy cold water in plastic sachets and everyone seems to love them, but it’s the environment that truly suffers. Much of the litter I’ve picked up recently consists of these wretched plastic sachets. There must be a better way… how about re-usable cups/bottles or even biodegradable plastic?? ..And recycling bins or even just bins in general.. And rubbish collectors…Aargh…

FACT: 270 tonnes of plastic waste is generated every day in Ghana, 85% from non-biodegradable bags containing purified water and ice cream.
