Title: Fighting against the proliferation of plastic waste in Kousséri, a proven ecological initiative
Introduction :
In northern Cameroon, in the town of Kousséri, a major environmental problem has surfaced: the proliferation of plastic waste. Without a garbage collection system, the situation had become critical. However, thanks to the action of a group of local NGOs, an innovative and ecological solution has been put in place. The transformation of plastic waste into ecological cobblestones has become a real alternative to fight against this scourge. In this article, we will look at this exciting initiative and its positive implications for the town of Kousséri.
Block 1: The problem of plastic waste in Kousséri
Kousséri, a town located in Logone-et-Chari, faces a major challenge: the massive presence of plastic waste in its streets. The city does not have a garbage collection service, which has led to an accumulation of plastic in the environment. The local authorities are sounding the alarm because this situation has harmful consequences both on the health of the population and on the surrounding ecosystem.
Block 2: The initiative of the collective of local NGOs
Faced with this problem, a group of local NGOs decided to act. Their goal is to collect and transform plastic waste into eco-friendly cobblestones. Every day, men like Salba roam the streets of Kousséri in search of plastic waste. Once collected, the plastics are transported to a specially set up manufacturing unit. On site, the waste is sorted, weighed and transformed into ecological paving stones ready to be used.
Block 3: The benefits of transforming plastic waste into ecological pavers
The initiative of the collective of local NGOs has many advantages. First of all, it reduces the presence of plastic waste in the environment, thus contributing to the preservation of nature and the health of the inhabitants. Then, the manufacture of ecological cobblestones offers new economic opportunities to the inhabitants of Kousséri, by creating local jobs. In addition, the use of these ecological pavers constitutes a sustainable and ecological alternative for the development of public spaces in the city.
Conclusion :
Thanks to the courageous initiative of the collective of local NGOs, the fight against the proliferation of plastic waste in Kousséri is underway. The transformation of plastic waste into ecological pavers is an ingenious and ecological solution that offers many economic and environmental benefits. Hopefully this initiative will inspire other communities around the world to adopt similar practices to preserve our planet
