Plastic waste remains a major environmental challenge in Monrovia, contributing to blocked drainage, flooding, and health risks.

Plastics make up an 𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝟏𝟎–𝟏𝟓% 𝐨𝐟 𝐝𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐰𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞, 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐬𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬 𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐲 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐛𝐚𝐠𝐬 𝐝𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐲...many of which end up in streets, waterways, and communities where waste collection systems remain limited

Through its household-based plastic waste mitigation awareness, the Liberia Diplomatic Club is supporting communities to improve plastic separation, encourage collection, and strengthen recycling efforts.

Community interest is growing, and more households are taking steps toward safer waste practices - moving us closer to cleaner and healthier communities.

The United Nations General Assembly has voted to formally recognize the Transatlantic Slave Trade as “the gravest crime against humanity.”

The resolution, proposed by Ghana, was adopted with 123 votes in favor, while United States, Israel, and Argentina voted against.

A total of 52 countries abstained, including the United Kingdom and members of the European Union.

Why did some countries abstain?

Many of the countries that abstained stated that, while they acknowledge the horrors of slavery, they had legal concerns about provisions related to reparations and compensation. Some governments argued that international law at the time slavery occurred did not classify it as illegal, making modern legal responsibility complex.

This historic vote highlights ongoing global discussions about justice, accountability, reconciliation, and reparatory justice, particularly for nations whose histories and development were shaped by slavery.

At the Liberia Diplomatic Club, we believe global developments like this provide valuable opportunities for youth dialogue, civic education, and diplomatic awareness.

With the rising cost of petroleum products and the growing proliferation of plastic waste in our communities, there is an urgent need for practical and sustainable solutions.

The Liberia Diplomatic Club is actively advancing climate justice and plastic waste management awareness, with support from the Ever Green Recycling Institute - transforming plastic waste into petroleum products and other valuable materials.

Through our community outreach, LDC Youth Diplomats are going beyond dialogue to action - training households on plastic waste mitigation and helping communities from a “throwaway” culture to a circular and sustainable approach.

These efforts aim to prevent plastic waste from entering landfills, waterways, and surrounding environments, where it poses serious health risks.

The awareness also includes misinformation about plastic waste and promoting increased collection of plastics for transformation into useful products.

This approach supports environmental protection while contributing to innovative solutions that respond to rising climate challenges.

As a youth development organization, we remain committed to promoting local , strengthening accountability for polluters, and empowering youth to lead practical community-based climate solutions. 🌍♻️
