Stephanie Linus Advocates the Recycling of Plastics To Save Our Environment.

As we draw closer to the festive season, actress and OPS-WASH ambassador – Stephanie Linus is encouraging increased recycling of plastic waste which happens to be an incredibly significant cause of environmental and health hazards in our communities.

With more than 32 million metric tonnes of waste generated in Nigeria annually, and a disturbing habit of improper disposal of this waste, there is an urgent need to address this problem. The founder of Hygiene First campaign and a strong advocate for proper environmental protection has encouraged Nigerians to embrace recycling as a means of turning bottles, packaging and other post consumer packaging waste into new products. According to her, we can prevent ourselves from harming our environment and needlessly overfilling our landfills by simply giving up our plastic waste for recycling.
