Goldman Environmental Prize For Gloria Majiga-Kamoto, her great awakening to plastic pollution started with goats. She was working for a local environmental nongovernmental organization in her native Malawi with a program that gave goats to rural farmers. The farmers would use the goats dung to produce low-cost, high-quality organic fertilizer. The problem? The thin plastic bags covering the Malawian countryside. We have this very common street food. It s called chiwaya, and it s just really potato fried on the side of the road, and it s served in these little blue plastics, Majiga-Kamoto says. So because it s salty, once the goats get a taste of the salt, they just eat the plastic because they can t really tell that it s inedible. And they die because it blocks the ingestion system there s no way to survive.
