Deploying the Power of IT to Engage Youths in Effective Plastic Waste Management in Federal Capital territory.
This project is targeted at reducing the plastic wastes that litter neighbourhoods, clog drainages (resulting in flooding), and mount up refuse dumpsites in such a way that they have become perennial environmental challenges. It all starts with the ineffective use of plastics which quickly become plastic wastes that are the ultimate environmental challenges. The population of about 3.5 million people in the FCT are affected and the 3/4 metric tons per day of plastic wastes in the Territory must be reduced through this project. 100 teams of 4 youths in each team will be engaged to generate the ideas, tools and methods that will be presented to the people in the FCT through well designed information dissemination (outcomes of the youths? work) that will be guardedly applied for effective plastic use and the management of its wastes.
