In observance of World Environment Day, we are launching a digital advocacy campaign to raise awareness about the dangers of plastic waste, with a specific focus on Liberian communities. Plastic pollution poses a growing threat to public health, ecosystems, and urban cleanliness in Liberia, particularly in underserved areas where waste management systems are limited or ineffective.

This campaign will contribute to increased public awareness, foster responsible plastic waste disposal habits, and strengthen the national conversation around sustainability and environmental stewardship.

We aim to mobilize 100 Online Volunteers to support our awareness campaign by creating and sharing content across social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, etc.).

The goal is to engage Liberians online, amplify the environmental message, and inspire behavioral change around plastic use and disposal by sharing of social media graphics on plastic waste pollution through social cards with awareness posts, messages or reels.

Engaging with followers by replying to comments and encouraging community participation.
