Plastic Ambassadors
Plastic pollution is a growing issue in Malawi, and the country’s education system often faces challenges implementing robust environmental education on this issue. To address the issue of plastic pollution and marine litter, Maria Kameta suggests a program that will mentor and train youth through education sessions focusing on plastic up-cycling. Kameta believes enhancing passion for environmental management and conservation is key. Encouraging youth to understand global and national environmental issues creates big strides in saving our environment. In addition to education, Kameta proposes a series of plastic clean-up campaigns that will engage local communities in Malawi.
