The fashion industry, especially "Fast Fashion", is responsible for huge environmental impacts, such as loss of biodiversity, climate change, pollution etc. This video is about how can we mitigate the harmful effects of clothing from a consumer view.
Have you ever imagined growing food from waste? We did it! We were capable of turning waste into potential material for sustainable agriculture while empowering the local rural community to mitigate and adapt to climate change effects, preserving the local natural resources, and protecting the environment despite all the challenges our country is facing.
Douala, the commercial capital of Cameroon, has recently been experiencing an upsurge in plastic waste pollution. This is mostly due to increased production from the brewery and water bottling companies and inadequate waste management infrastructures. In 2017 the city of Douala produced more than 20,000 tons of plastic waste daily, of which about 2% was collected and less than 1% recycled. Environment and Food Foundation (E2F) in Cameroon is bringing up a new collection, reusing and recycling systems for plastic waste, with a traceable social and environmental impact on global waste management. Our innovative approach seeks to strengthen the plastic supply and value chains, create new jobs, and relieve Douala from plastics pollution.

This has led to another culture where consumers are comfortable disposing the diapers after a single use. Eventually, this has created a menace and we don't know how to deal with this waste; let alone waste management systems.
From a very young age at the high school level, I had a strong passion for the environment. This is when I started to volunteer under the United nation school club. I continue to gain relevant experience at environmental projects and through wide-ranging involvement with youth environmental organizations, especially the Tanzania youth biodiversity network.
My story tries to touch on the most encountered most frequently whenever we participate in a litter clean up whether along the road or beaches: plastic bottles. This impacts biodiversity, especially marine, since when we have seen how a whale died due to ingesting 80 kg of plastics.
Even if we are not able to quit the use of plastic all of the sudden, we should still be innovative in recycling those plastics into useful products like eco-bricks. This at least will help to tackle plastic pollution and save our biodiversity.
