Environmental activist and founder of Durbanites Solving Plastic Pollution, an advocacy campaign seeking sustainable solutions to pollution in our waterways.
All industry efforts to mitigate plastic bottle pollution have failed. Time for innovation: 20-cent deposit on every plastic bottle sold. Plastic producer supply chains must be expanded to collect used bottles. #depositreturnsystem#reverselogistics#boomerangeffect#epr
Plastic pollution can't be ignored. There will be more plastic than fish by weight in the ocean by 2050. MORE PLASTIC THAN FISH! 🐠🥤🥤🥤#BreakFreeFromPlastic#WorldOceansWeek
Great read on today’s “recycling day”
@circulareconomy of plastic is toxic hoax created by @McKinsey & promoted by industry-sponsored EMF. NPE Economic premise blatantly false & toxicity of recycled plastic ☠️ completely ignored
EMF = Toxics Deniers

World Recycling Day | SA urged to recycle https://t.co/GGI0rt8Jvw
@DanoneSa and #etv peddling the myth that household recycling will on its own solve the global crisis of plastic pollution.
@GarethEdwardsSA says 1 plastic brick at a time can pave the way for the environment 🥴
Sad that there was no appetite in SA port authorities for this and other technologies such as the #trashwheel. Many proposals to help have been submitted.
Fans basic human right to hydrate trampled last night at the #SA20 DSG v JSK match played in typical hot and humid conditions at Kingsmead Stadium, #Durban! Only option: purchase single use plastic bottled water inside. Unacceptable #plasticpollution#byobottle#refillrevolution
@wayneduv@SAPoliceService Completely unacceptable @wayneduv, but lets have some perspective. eThekwini Municipality regularly and purposefully diverts millions of litres of raw sewage from faulty pump stations into storm water drains! We have footage of that.
In nature there is no waste, there is no throwaway solution, everything is sustenance and support for something else. We have taken this astonishing natural economy and done our best to turn it into a garbage dump. End #SingleUsePlastics now. Adopt a #circularEconomy
Hundreds of thousands of @Dove cotton bud plastic stems arrive on our beaches and get washed out to sea each year in SA. The reason? They get flushed down the loo and evade waste water treatment plant filters. Why do our main retailers still stock this nasty product? #banthebud
@ThomeWendy @Prof_LGodfrey Sadly, an increasingly common practice across South Africa as local waste management systems fail and plastic packaging consumption scales up.
