Their experience does not only give students an opportunity to put to practice the knowledge gained from the classroom but to learn relevant skills that would enable them to be value driven leaders.

It is a well established fact that in the year 2014 over 254 million tons of municipal solid waste was collected. And according to an EPA sources about 85 million tons of that waste was not recycled.

The amount of trash that Africa produces has tripled in the past 50 years. At this rate, we will be producing nearly a billion tons of trash a year by 2060. This is the more reason why we should embrace recycling now than ever.
