We have been receiving reports from our new friend in Ghana, Emmanuel, showing progress on his recycling business. With our grant he has purchased a trike-cycle pickup truck. His photos show mountains of plastic bottles and cardboard. (FYI - did you happen to see the report from the United Nations this week that the body was unable to finalize a treaty about limiting the use of plastic?) Emmanuel employes disadvantaged folks as agents to collect plastic and cardboard. The plastic gets shredded and some is made into fabric used to make backpacks.
