We are calling on all Kenyans, organisations, partners and local authorities to #Boycott this year’s World Cleanup Day to send a clear message to NGOs from the global North that we will not be a statistic.
Early this year, I received a chilling phone call from Joyce Wanjiru the CEO of Petco Kenya. She demanded that we pull down a tweet in which we indicated that Coca-Cola and other consumer brands ‘employs’ children to recover PET waste at dumpsites.
Clean Up Kenya launches #PlasticPandemicKenya campaign to celebrate three years since the ban of single-use plastic bags in Kenya and to pressure consumer brands to make more progress in solving the issue of pollution caused by plastic bottles.
Monica Ngatia, 24, has been appointed to lead Kenya's leading public sanitation advocacy organisation and has delivered a warning to polluting consumer brands.
Starting Friday the 5th June 2020, it will be illegal to take any single-use plastics into Kenya’s protected areas, including game parks.
