Clothes are seen drying outside a local Church made with recycled Polypropylene sacks in Kibera slums.In Africa’s largest and slowly developing Kibera Slums, well known for its highest growth in population and the densely connection and closeness of structures around the neighborhoods, not everyone is able to practice and take action recycling of waste products and plastic products. After the demolition of homes and businesses, located close by the railway line by the Kenya Railways, most residents are seen practicing the recycling of polypropylene sacks to build their new homes and little businesses stalls, as well as using them to plant vegetables such as Calles, Skuma Wiki, Beans, Onions, Tomatoes and more. By recycling polypropylene sacks, these residents contribute in defending climate change by creating a reduction in the consumption of raw resources such as oil and propane gas. Due to its tough and rough texture, polypropylene bags are also used as in-house decoration of homes, carpets, shopping bags, and school bags.
