I was glad to join the Keep Zambia Clean, Green, and Healthy campaign in Mushota, Pambashe Constituency.

This was an initiative led by Kawambwa Town Council with support from stakeholders such as ZAFICO and the blessing of Chief Mushota.

Key activities included:
• Slashing overgrown grass around the Mushota Rural Health Centre maternity block,
• Sweeping and drainage cleaning around the market,
• Distribution of 10 waste bins—strategically placed at Mushota Market, and Primary & Secondary Schools.

MAJOR CHALLENGE:

A major challenge in the area is the indiscriminate disposal of sugarcane remains (bagasse), plastics, and bottles, particularly into roadsides and drainages.

A GLIMPSE OF HOPE:

While on-site, I watched kids casually litter sugarcane waste but after a calm conversation, they happily began collecting and throwing it into bins. It was a simple, joyful moment that proved:
Mindset change is possible and it often begins with one conversation.
With patience and awareness, we can shape future stewards of the environment.

COMMENDABLE EFFORTS:

Thanks to Kawambwa Town Council for championing such practical, community-centered interventions. Providing bins and engaging stakeholders is a solid step toward sustainable waste management.

A CALL TO ACTION:

To the people of Mushota and beyond:
• Use the bins provided,
• Keep litter out of drainages,
• Teach our children to care for the environment.

The change begins with us. Let’s protect our environment not just for today, but for tomorrow.

REFUSE | NON-RECYCLABLE PLASTICS

By Mwangilwa C. Abel
Environmentalist | Communicator

“Non-recyclable plastics cause more harm to the environment than we sometimes realize. They can persist for thousands of years without decaying.”

Globally, an estimated 11 million tonnes of plastic waste leak into aquatic ecosystems each year, while microplastics accumulate in the soil from sewage and landfills due to the use of plastics in agricultural products.

This year’s World Environment Day, themed “End Plastic Pollution,” calls for a united global effort to reduce plastic pollution and protect our planet.

WHAT YOU CAN DO: Practice “REFUSE”

REFUSE means exactly that. Saying “No” to unnecessary or harmful products. In this context, non-biodegradable and non-recyclable plastics.

REFUSE IN PRACTICE:

▶️ At the grocery store, decline plastic bags or packaging you don’t need. Instead, carry a reusable bag.

▶️Reuse plastics you already have rather than constantly accepting new ones.

▶️Make a personal commitment to avoid single-use plastic whenever possible.

Rember this; question every purchase: “Do I really need this plastic?” “Is there a more sustainable alternative, perhaps a box?”

Together, by choosing to REFUSE, we take a small but powerful step toward a cleaner, healthier planet.

Happy World Environment Day.

We were part of an impactful undertaking in Kalembwe Village, Luapula Province. And we agree with the words of Jane Addams:

"The good we secure for ourselves is precarious (unsafe, insecure) and uncertain until it is secured for all of us and incorporated into our common life."- Jane Addams
