'Waste has value': how surfing helps Colombia solve its plastic problem
The Amigos del Mar has found a way to help Tierra Bomba island clean up its beaches - and get children back to school.
Amigos del Mar has set up the Olas Paz programme (known as the Clean Wave Project in English), transforming the thousands of plastic bottle caps that pollute Tierra Bomba into surfboard fins.
In Tierra Bomba, plastic bottle caps, bags, wrappers, toys and other plastic waste constantly washes up on the white sand beaches, where it accumulates due to the lack of adequate waste collection services.

How a monk and a Hippo joined forces to tackle Bangkok’s plastic pollution
Desperate to restore the Chao Praya River to a pristine state, an abbot in the Thai capital began recycling in his temple. Now he has a floating ally in his efforts to clean up the river.
The Chao Phraya River is the largest waterway flowing through central Thailand.
In Bangkok, it is an artery for a network of water buses, ferries and wooden long-tail boats. But it's not just carrying people. According to research by the Rotterdam-based non-profit organisation Ocean Cleanup, the Chao Praya River carries 4,000 tonnes of plastic waste to the sea every year.
Workers sew orange robes for monks from fabric made from recycled plastic at Wat Chak Daeng on July 30, 2024 in Bangkok. The HIPPO project by Seven Clean Seas, in collaboration with Wat Chak Daeng temple, uses a solar-powered vessel to collect plastic waste from Bangkok's Chao Phraya River and recycles it to reduce environmental pollution. Phra Mahapranom Dhammalangkaro, the abbot, leads a project at Wat Chak Daeng that turns plastic waste into monk robes, upcycling around 40 tons of plastic since 2015 and serving as a model for environmental conservation.

ANC’s grip on power in peril in South Africa election
Thirty years after the end of apartheid, corruption is rife, crime is high and the economy is a mess. The party of Mandela admits it 'made mistakes'. But will the people forgive them?
As South Africa prepares to go to the polls on Wednesday, 30 years on from the first democratic elections, it is a nation in crisis. It’s the most unequal country in the world and among the most dangerous. The economy is stagnant, with almost zero growth in a decade and nearly half of adults are out of work.
Basic public services are falling apart. In many parts of the country there is no clean water, while rolling power cuts have become a regular feature of daily life.
An ongoing strike by refuse removal company Pikitup left the streets of Alexandra lined with heaps of trash, making the already bad sanitary conditions in the township worse.
After 30 years in power South Africa's ruling party, the ANC is in danger of losing it's majority in the upcoming national elections.

ANC’s grip on power in peril in South Africa election
Thirty years after the end of apartheid, corruption is rife, crime is high and the economy is a mess. The party of Mandela admits it 'made mistakes'. But will the people forgive them?
As South Africa prepares to go to the polls on Wednesday, 30 years on from the first democratic elections, it is a nation in crisis. It’s the most unequal country in the world and among the most dangerous. The economy is stagnant, with almost zero growth in a decade and nearly half of adults are out of work.
Basic public services are falling apart. In many parts of the country there is no clean water, while rolling power cuts have become a regular feature of daily life.
An ongoing strike by refuse removal company Pikitup left the streets of Alexandra lined with heaps of trash, making the already bad sanitary conditions in the township worse.
After 30 years in power South Africa's ruling party, the ANC is in danger of losing it's majority in the upcoming national elections.

'Your plastic is here': how Easter Island copes with 500 pieces of rubbish an hour washing ashore
One of the world's most remote populations must deal with a flood of multinational plastic, much of it tossed overboard by the factory fishing ships hoovering up sealife just offshore.
About 2,300 miles west of central Chile, Easter Island (also known as Rapa Nui) is among the most remote spots on Earth - and among the most polluted.
It is estimated that 50 times more plastic washes ashore on these beaches than on the Chilean mainland, largely a result of the vast spiralling current known as the South Pacific gyre.

Felipe Tepano, president of Rapa Nui powerful Council of the Sea addresses local villagers on the efforts to build conservation safeguards in the rich fishing grounds that surround this remote island.

Every high tide now leaves a dump of multi coloured plastic garbage, some bleached by the sea others eerily colourful.

Kina Paoa Kannegiesser sorts plastic from seashells at Ovahe beach on Easter Island. She melts down the plastic she collects and turns it into miniature versions of Rapa Nui's famous moai statues to sell to tourists, who thereby take a bit of plastic back off the island.

Shards of fish bins wash ashore Rapa Nui from as far away as China and Peru. This shard labelled 'Property of United Fisheries Unauthorized Use Prohibited' likely came New Zealand.
