My name is Ogechi Nwonye, I am a Social Entrepreneur & a recycler based in Enugu State, Nigeria. Over the years, I have come to the realization that we are surrounded heavily by Plastic Waste and we churn out even more as the day goes by.

i have the tendency to pack food and water for my kids by using reusable water bottles for the children to take to school, but I noticed adults who are in traffic, buy water Satchets, Plastic Water and dispose indiscriminately, likewise at the cafeteria rather than adults to
bring in their own reusable bottle, they make use of disposable cups & straws which contributes negatively to the Environment.
On going to the store with a couple of friends, I went along with my reusable bag but they end up laughing at it and prefer to collect as many

If you’re heading to Bangsaen Beach this weekend you might want to turnaround now and go home. Unless your hotel has a nice swimming pool you won’t be able to swim in the sea due to all the plastic rubbish that has been washed up #Thailand
Further down Bangsaen Beach it’s a bit cleaner, though I’m not sure if it’s advisable to swim in the sea. I saw some glass bottles among the plastic. The weather is stormy at the moment and so most, though not all of the rubbish, is being washed up. #Thailand
Municipal workers are doing a beach clean up but really they are only scratching the surface. You need an army of people here to clean up Bangsaen Beach. But then, the next storm will just wash up even more. It will only stop when humans stop dumping rubbish in waterways

Lennard (3) did not want to wait to go on a beach to pick plastic.
He decided to act now, with his friends from the kindergarten.
He was right: even if you live in Monheim 🇩🇪, at 250 kms from the sea, less trash in Nature means less dead 🐋

This #WorldOceansDay I'm inspired by all the dedicated people working everywhere to understand and protect the dominant geographic feature of our planet. So today I'm going to be tweeting about just a few of those people to spread the news of their good deeds
1st up @HeatherKoldewey. Heather is at @OfficialZSL & has done incredible work with @projectseahorse, @Nets2Carpet and the Chagos MPA with @Bertarelli_fdn. Any one of those would be huge, but all three is just amazing. zsl.org/users/heather-…
Nxt @CoralReefFish Luiz Rocha, originally from Brazil, is leading a team of folks @calacademy discovering new fish diversity in the gloom beyond regular SCUBA depths, using rebreathers. Every bit as hard as space walking, maybe harder. calacademy.org/explore-scienc…

Last December, I spent some hours here in Sant'Elena, a reserved and silent corner of Venice, taking in the waves and the beauty of a plastic-free environment. This happened... #BeatPlasticPollution #WorldEnvironmentDay
I regained a renewed sense of hope, particularly for my country Nigeria, that we could really resolve this plastic crisis - which is driven by unethical production, consumption, and disposal worldwide. #BeatPlasticPollution #WorldEnvironmentDay
Plastic is part of lifestyle in Nigeria. In 2015, @JambeckResearch listed Nigeria among the Top 20 Countries with the Worst Plastic Waste Management.
