Ecobricks update!! 🎉We are happy to see all the plastic that we collected while we do beach clean up everyday can be used for building a walls of the bottles!According to UNICEF (2011), less than half of the municipal waste, or rubbish, that is produced in Madagascar each year is collected. Of this, only 3.5% is composted, whilst the remaining 405,173 tons is dumped in landfills. As for the uncollected waste (over 419,000 tons of it per year), this is left untreated within the environment, causing serious sanitary problems and environmental damageWe aims to improve the lives of local people and reduce environmental damage by reducing the amount of waste (both biodegradable and non-degradable) which is thrown away.
