GAIA members around the world have been building these collection and composting systems, and what we're really excited about with this article is that it portrays how waste pickers in the Global South, who are historically marginalized and underappreciated, are spearheading this essential climate solution. However there is still much to be done to elevate the importance of this effort and convince governments to give these communities the resources they need to scale.
We would be very grateful if you would share this article with your networks on social media!
Thanks, Monica
