On the occasion of International Zero Waste Day, observed this Sunday, March 30, we’d like to draw attention to the urgency of beach pollution in Dakar, the Senegalese capital.
One of the Youth Alliance for Agroecology and Climate (YAAC)’s first actions was cleaning up the BCEAO beach on January 26, 2025. Driven by an inspiring mobilization of citizens, this initiative brought together committed volunteers from the Rotaract Club Dakar Phoenix and the Dakar Clean Up Crew. Together, they worked to bring this emblematic site back to life.
Why BCEAO beach?
Faced with the accumulation of plastic waste and other detritus, the need for action was pressing. Popular with locals and visitors alike, the BCEAO beach deserves special attention. This action is part of a global initiative to raise awareness and promote sustainable ecological practices.
An initiative that’s just getting started
This cleanup is only the first step. The organizers hope to extend the initiative to other beaches and mobilize more players, including schools, businesses, and local authorities. The aim? To make preserving the environment part of everyone’s daily routine.
A global challenge
According to the United Nations, households, small businesses, and public service providers generate between 2.1 and 2.3 billion tonnes of municipal solid waste every year, including packaging, electronic equipment, plastics, and food waste.
