Recycling collection point now open in Stone Town, and Zanzibar Sustainability Directory now online!

[Nell Hamilton]

Dear all - here is some exciting news of NGO Sustainable East Africa's activities to promote recycling and sustainability in Zanzibar.

Recycling collection point now open in Stone Town!
Sustainable East Africa together with partners Manispaa Jamii Vikokotoni, and with funding from SMOLE / GoZ Dept Environment, have built two recycling trolleys for Vikokotoni!

So you can now take all your plastic bottles and cans to our recycling trolley outside Barclays in Darajani!

Materials collected will be upcycled locally where possible, or if unsuitable, will be sold for their scrap value to exporters to provide sustainable funding for Vikokotoni’s community clean-up programe.

Zanzibar Sustainability Directory now online at http://nellhamilton.com/resources/directory/
 I have created a Sustainability Directory for Zanzibar, including links for sustainable initiatives, NGOs and projects, and information about how we can live more sustainably.

I hope it will be a useful resource for everyone in Zanzibar who is interested in the environment, recycling, sustainability and other related issues.

This is just the start, and I know I have missed many exciting and important projects, so I hope you will help make the resource as comprehensive as possible by suggesting additional links I might have missed through the form provided on the Directory page, or contact me if the information about your initiative is incorrect.
