Our streets, rivers and kombi ranks hold what we drop on them. This campaign is about small daily habits that keep rubbish where it belongs, from Harare to Victoria Falls.
That took a few seconds. Imagine every street did it.
Tap the rubbish to pick it up.
Plastic bags and bottles wash into storm drains. When the summer rains come, blocked drains turn roads into rivers and flood homes and markets.
Piles of rubbish often end up on fire. Burning plastic releases smoke that families, children and street vendors breathe every day.
Goats and cattle graze near roads and dumps. Plastic in their stomachs can kill them, and that is a family's savings lost.
Clean streets say something about who we are. Tourism and local business both do better in a town people want to walk through.
Wrapper, airtime card, bottle. Pocket it, bag it, carry it home. Never out of the kombi window.
Take a reusable bag to Mbare, the supermarket and the tuckshop. Say no to the extra plastic one.
One piece, every day, on your own street. It adds up faster than anyone expects.
Share your pledge on Twitter / X, download the card as a PNG, or copy the text for your post.
A road, a kombi rank, a school ground, a stretch of river. Early Saturday is cool and quiet.
Post it in the WhatsApp group, at church, at the tuckshop. Ten people clear a lot more than one.
Same angle before and after. That photo is what makes people join the next one.
Bottles and cans in one bag for recyclers, everything else in another. Hand recyclables to local collectors.
Share both photos with #ZimbabweYakachena so others can copy the idea in their own area.
