A Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) under the aegis of Recycling Scheme for Women and Youth Empowerment (RESWAYE), has called on stakeholders to support community beach cleaning, and create more awareness of recycling and wealth creation to protect the environment.

The Founder of RESWAYE, Doyinsola Ogunye, who made the call at a cleanup exercise in Folu Community, lbeju Lekki, Lagos, also urged residents of Lagos to promote healthy living by ensuring a clean environment.

She said that the awareness and cleanup event would promote a cleaner, more sustainable environment in the area, adding that mitigating climate change and global warming in Nigeria require collective efforts by critical stakeholders, through proper management of wastes including plastic bottles, pure water sachets, containers, empty can drinks and others in gutters and coastal environment.

She thanked the community for supporting the organisation with land at the beach for recreation and other location for the Recycling Bank, noting that recipients will be given a token through the RESWAYE Initiative and other partnerships based on when they pick up and send plastic garbage the Reswaye project.

Also speaking during the event, Nollywood actor, Jide Kosoko, said a sustainable environment and oceans could be built through awareness, education and job creation.

He called on the community to partner with RESWAYE to reduce plastic pollution through collection and recycling, stressing that partners, governments and civil society organisations should be part of the initiative.
