Africa Science Focus investigates how communities are managing this plastic tsunami.
This week, we speak to a team who set sail across Lake Victoria in a dhow made of recycled plastics and flip flops, and our reporter Michael Kaloki meets with activist James Wakibia, who’s taking his campaign against single-use plastics Africa-wide. Carole Excell from the World Resources Institute tells us what more governments and communities can do to protect people and the environment from plastic waste.
And in this week’s Q&A segment, Kent Chizu from Highland Secondary School in Zambia has a question about COVID-19 vaccine conspiracy theories.
