The goats are dying : grassroots initiatives to tackle unwanted plastic garbage in Burkina Faso
Abstract: In Burkina Faso plastic refuse is starting to become a physical threat to humans, livestock and the environment. In light of concerns that plastic garbage is becoming dangerous there are three grassroots initiatives that have sprung up to address the plastic garbage problem. This paper examines the scope and ability of these initiatives to address the plastic refuse problem. Combining and abstracting the theories of Robert Da Matta, Thomas Kuhn, Garret Hardin and Elinor Oltrum this paper presents why these initiatives have arisen, what they can achieve and why they are viable options in the fight against plastic garbage.
