Ghanaian climate advocate Fasila Alhassan is urging a national reduction in single-use plastics, citing their significant contribution to flooding and environmental damage. Alhassan highlighted the prevalence of plastic waste within floodwaters, particularly in communities frequently impacted by flooding. She spoke during the “Loud and Green XSpaces” event on JoyNews’ X platform, emphasizing the growing dependence on disposable packaging. The advocate’s comments draw attention to the link between waste management and climate resilience in Ghana. Her call for change aims to address both environmental degradation and the increasing risk of flood-related disasters. The issue underscores the need for sustainable waste solutions and a shift towards reusable alternatives.
