Drain Socks To Turn the Tide Against Plastic Pollution in Kenya
Imagine drain socks fitted in waste-heavy places like Nairobi’s Gikomba market, Eastlands, or near the Mathare River. During heavy rains, instead of plastic flooding into rivers, it gets collected at the drain mouth. Clean-up groups or local youth initiatives can then empty and sort the waste. Not only does this protect water sources, but it also creates jobs and reduces health risks.
