S1 E2 The Plasticology Project Podcast - Speaking with James Wakibia

The Plasticology Project Podcast

24-06-2022 • 28 mins

On this episode of The Plasticology Project Podcast I talk with James Wakibia. An environmentalist, activist and photo journalist based in Kenya. James has been instrumental in the helping to fight plastic pollution in Africa. In 2013 James began raising awareness about the plastic pollution in his home town Nakuru, about 150 km away from the Kenyan capital of Nairobi. By 2015 James had started a Twitter campaign to capture global attention, using the hashtag banplasticsKE. In 2017, single-use plastic bags were banned in Kenya, and James is largely credited for that success. I caught up with James to chat about the future of plastic pollution in Africa.
