In a joint effort to mark World Environment Day 2025, the Presec Staff Cluster of Schools in Accra, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and Groupe Nduom have launched a community-focused campaign to educate the public on sorting plastic waste from household refuse.
The initiative, which aligns with this year's global theme, "Ending Global Plastic Pollution," brought together pupils, teachers, and environmental advocates to raise awareness about the dangers of plastic pollution and the importance of responsible waste management.
Key activities included the donation of a designated plastic waste receptacle to the school, a cleanup exercise at a dumpsite within the school compound, and interactive educational sessions for pupils.
These sessions highlighted the impact of plastic pollution on public health and the environment, emphasizing issues such as blocked drains, flooding, and diseases like malaria and cholera caused by poor waste disposal practices.
