The clean up was mooted due to worrying statistics about the impact plastics are continuing to have in our nation. There are efforts in policy circles to transform waste management but many initiatives fail to take off because the goal isn't clear. During a school ceremony to inaugurate new classes by the Member of National assembly graced by all the students and their parents, education stakeholders, government officials among others, the scouts purposefully organized to ensure that unlike the past where plastic pollution after big events was the norm, the story this time would be different and of the 20 crates of refillable water would be collected to the last bottle. Fortunately about 13 were collected with none to be found littered. The rest were presumably carried away by visitors and not left polluting the school premises. In total 304 bottles were collected by 34 scouts. The highest collection by any one scout was 30 bottles and the least, 1. On average it is estimated that 6.7kg of plastic waste was recovered from a 3 hour with each empty bottle weighing an average 22g. This represents approximately 40.2 kg of CO2 saves from the atmosphere had the plastics been gathered and burned in an open bin as is the norm. The plastic bottles were handed over for reuse by a local business that makes and sells liquid soap. The business has promised to make a soap donation in kind to the Scouts unit. Ordinarily 6kg of plastic would fetch KES 120 through the plastic collectors value chain but the 10 bottles promised in kind represent a value in price that is 2X representing a significant opportunity cost savings for the business, troop and environment in this community nestled in Nairobi, City in the Sun and home to UNEP.
