Akure —In a significant move toward combating the pervasive problem of plastic pollution in Ondo State, Christopher Olusa, the owner of TalkWithTheDuke and a renowned advocate, lent his voice to the cause during a gathering hosted by the Ondo State Environmental Protection Agency.
The event, held on Thursday, September 28, 2023, in Akure, brought together key stakeholders, government officials, and environmental advocates to address the escalating issue of plastic pollution in the region. Christopher Olusa, who recently made headlines by breaking the Guinness World Record for the longest speech marathon by an individual, seized the opportunity to champion sustainable alternatives to plastic.
Addressing the audience, Olusa Christopher extended his gratitude to the Ondo State Environmental Protection Agency and Hon. Oseni, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Environmental Affairs, for organizing the impactful event.
As a prominent climate change advocate, Olusa highlighted the urgent need for concerted efforts in tackling plastic pollution. He emphasized the necessity of reducing reliance on single-use plastics and transitioning to more sustainable materials. Biodegradable plastics, derived from sources like cornstarch, potato starch, or sugarcane, offer a viable alternative due to their ability to break down more rapidly than conventional plastics.
Olusa also underscored the significance of paper products as a biodegradable and renewable substitute for plastics. Paper, he argued, presents a sustainable solution with fewer environmental repercussions.
He called for a more comprehensive approach to raise public awareness and educate citizens about the environmental consequences of plastic pollution. Olusa insisted that the Ondo State government should play an active role in promoting these alternatives to plastics.
Furthermore, Olusa Christopher emphasized that environmental concerns should be treated as an emergency, a sentiment echoed by the Hon. Commissioner of Health. He pointed out that issues like flooding, mentioned by the representatives of the House Committee on Environment, are directly and indirectly linked to plastic waste pollution. Plastic waste often clogs drainage systems, obstructing the efficient flow of rainwater and resulting in localized flooding during heavy rainfall.
As the fight against plastic pollution gains momentum, Olusa Christopher's advocacy contributes significantly to shaping policies and raising awareness about the urgent need to transition to sustainable alternatives in Ondo State.
The event marked a pivotal moment in the state's efforts to combat plastic pollution and promote environmental sustainability, with advocates like Christopher Olusa leading the charge.
