What a Day for Innovation and Action! 
Today, we made incredible strides at the Ecobrick Research Assistants Training, funded by the Chatham House Sustainability Accelerator! Participants engaged in hands-on activities to develop and test sustainable solutions for transforming plastic waste into resilient pavement bricks.
Using innovative materials like seaweed, sawdust, rice husk, clay, and sand, we explored models that prioritize eco-friendly production, reduce harmful emissions, and minimize microplastic pollution. These efforts are critical as we work toward a cleaner, greener future for all.
In partnership with The READS, Njala University Volunteers (NUV), Sierra Leone Debating Council (SLDC), Independent Students Movement (ISM), and SUG-NUNC Ministry of Environment and Education, we’re taking a bold step to refine these models, turning ideas into action.
We encourage everyone to join this movement—reduce single-use plastics, educate your communities, and take part in creating innovative solutions. Together, we can make a significant impact!
