Weyinmi Okotie is the clean energy campaigner for the Global Alliance for Incinerator Alternatives and Break Free From Plastics Africa.

Okotie says eradication is a gradual process but there has been a “significant reduction in the amount of styrofoam available because no one wants to be arrested.”
