After stepping out of our throne for a waste mountain that turned into a green mountain of possibly toxic or radioactive forms of life, CNN backed up our award for the longest trash river record.
Is Lebanon’s trash going away?
Zbeleh bala 7oudoud, an amazing initiative started by two friends Meher and Rami, is collaborating with Recycle Lebanon, another amazing initiative launched by a friend Joslyn, to clean up the shorelines every Saturday. This project is merely an initiative to get ready for the summer and UNDO all of the cleaning, but it is rather a project to protect the marine life and keep our sea as clean as we can possibly do.
This video, produced by the What Took You So Long? film makers, depicts the Lebanese reckless behavior facing this health-challenging issue that is growing in Lebanon by the second.
Collecting waste is like erasing a spelling mistake. One day, we will run out of erasers, so we also need to stop producing waste.
Our waste consumption behavior hasn’t changed much from September 2015.
So what are you waiting for?
