September was clean up month and although fantastic efforts have been made throughout the country with hundreds of Clean Ups taking place, it still seems that so much more needs to be done. Environment Africa is calling on the Government of Zimbabwe to commit themselves to cleaning up the country by asking all citizens to set aside one hour on every last Friday of the month to get out there and keep our country clean. Just one hour a month.
Recycling? The Recycling Association of Zimbabwe has been formed in an effort to bring together recycling stakeholders, share information, ideas and assist with the establishment of recycling centres and recycling entrepreneurs. TM Supermarkets, SPAR, and OK Zimbabwe are contributing to the Recycling Green Fund. For more info email: info@environmentafrica.org.
The question is how many people are recycling? Especially those living in low density properties where composting should be compulsory. In fact no compostable waste should be picked up by the Municipality in low density areas.
