NAIROBI, Kenya, June 6 –BIDCO Africa Limited and BIDCORO Africa Limited will work together to eradicate environmental pollution amid climatic changes.
BIDCO Africa Group Director Chris Diaz said they will focus on finding solutions to plastic pollution.
“Earth’s sheer incredible beauty and wildly varied landscapes can move us to think about better ways of protecting the planet for future generations because we all agree that environmental conservation goes beyond tree planting,” Diaz said at Mang’u High School in Kiambu County.
Chief Operating Officer of BIDCORO Mads Burmester bemoaned 400 million tonnes of plastics produced annually as well as low recycling rate of less than 10 percent of single-use plastics.
“It’s all up to us now, plastic is not the problem, the problem is that we don’t recycle and we don’t pick it up: so, let’s all begin to pick up, minimum one piece of plastic per day, recycle it and again from strength to strength in building a pollution free planet,” said Burmester.
Mang’u High School Principal John Kuria lauded the organisations for helping the school planet over 700 fruit trees plus 600 indigenous trees within the school compound.
Other entities present at the event were KEPSA Foundation that was led by their Executive Director Gloria Ndekei while Branice Mayienga represented the Women in Business Network.
“We remain grateful to BIDCO and its partners for helping us plant over 700 fruit trees at our Orchard Farm plus another 600 indigenous trees within the school compound,” said Kuria.
