Waste Management: Day 8 Tip.

Dobha Uphile! Nhonga Urarame! Pick for Survival

Waste has value. Collect and bundle valuable recyclables like pet bottles, card board, aluminum cans, and sell to local collectors.

This turns "trash" into income for informal waste workers and supports local recycling companies. This is how we support local livelihoods, drive the circular economy, and drastically reduce the pollution ending up in our landfills and waterways.

When rural women thrive, our communities flourish. 💚

Day 6: Waste Management Tip

✔️Carry a reusable shopping bag

Every time you say, "No thanks, I brought my own!" to a plastic bag at the shop, you are directly reducing plastic waste that could end up polluting our land and waterways. Those single-use bags last for centuries!

Keep a reusable bag folded up in your handbag, backpack, or in your car. If it's visible, you won't forget it!

Let us know in the comments section if you have a reusable bag and where you keep it so that you never forget it?
