🌍 Clear the Plastics Off the Gutters: Buea Steps Up for World Environment Day 2025

Each year on June 5, millions around the globe unite under the banner of World Environment Day, raising awareness and taking action to protect our planet. This year, HOPE4 Humanity Outreach is proud to lead a powerful local initiative in Buea, Cameroon with the campaign:

Clear the Plastics Off the Gutters

This campaign is our response to the global call to #BeatPlasticPollution, and we’re doing it with both boots on the ground and voices online.

🧹 City-Wide Plastic Clean-Up: June 5

On World Environment Day, our team will mobilize across the city of Buea to clean plastics from street gutters—one of the most visible and harmful sources of urban pollution. Gutters choked with plastic waste not only disrupt drainage but also contribute to flooding and disease outbreaks.

But we’re not just cleaning—we’re connecting.

Our volunteers will also engage with residents in the neighborhoods we serve, conducting community sensitization sessions on:

 

  • The environmental and health risks of plastic pollution
  • Practical ways to reduce plastic use
  • How to properly sort and dispose of waste
  • This direct engagement is aimed at sparking behavior change at the grassroots level, making the campaign both impactful and sustainable.

📢 One-Week Online Campaign: Raising Awareness Beyond the Streets

In addition to the physical clean-up, we’ve launched a 7-day online awareness campaign to amplify the message across social media and digital platforms.

From May 29 to June 5, we’ll be sharing:

Eye-opening facts about plastic pollution

Behind-the-scenes photos and videos from our clean-up activities

Stories from community members and volunteers

Simple tips for reducing plastic use at home, school, and work

We encourage everyone to follow and share using the hashtag #BeatPlasticPollution, and help spread the word about the urgent need to rethink our relationship with plastic.

đź’¬ Why It Matters

Plastic pollution is not just a global issue—it’s a local crisis. In Buea, clogged gutters contribute to poor hygiene, urban flooding, and environmental degradation. By targeting the issue where it starts, we are taking meaningful steps toward a cleaner, healthier, and more resilient city.

Together, we can be the change. Together, we can beat plastic pollution.
