Flipflopi, a sailing dhow made from 100 per cent recycled plastic, is on a world expedition while circumnavigating Africa’s largest freshwater ecosystem, Lake Victoria.
Just as ERNEST JJINGO observed when it docked at Ggaba two weeks ago, there is need for greater sensitization about disposal of waste.
Taking its vital message upstream and calling for an end to unnecessary single-use of plastic threatening the region, the boat’s visit coincided with Uganda’s annual Water and Environment Week which ran from March 21 to March 26 under the theme; water and environment security for socioeconomic transformation of Uganda.
