Plastic bags are inexpensive and convenient, but when discarded in Njau, Gambia they accumulate in heaps along roads, collect water, attract mosquitoes, and spread disease. Some are burned, producing a foul odor, while others are buried, choking gardens and killing livestock. Driven by the need for change, Isatou Ceesay discovered a practical way to recycle the bags and repurpose them, turning a local environmental crisis into a community asset. Her initiative not only reduces environmental harm but also empowers residents, showing that one individual's action can lead to meaningful, positive change.
