Policy Forum Guyana’s (PFG) “Waste to Win” challenge, an initiative aimed at combating plastic pollution, successfully wrapped up on Saturday at the Regency Hotel & Suites in Georgetown. Students from various regions across Guyana were honoured for their exceptional environmental efforts.
The competition was organised by PFG in partnership with Cevons Waste Management Inc and involved some 60 students from 20 schools collecting and recycling aluminium cans and plastic bottles. Through their collaborative efforts, an impressive 28,321 plastic bottles and 7,736 aluminium cans were diverted from Guyana’s landfills.
