What we do now, and in the next few years, will profoundly affect the environmental and economic health of Victoria Falls in the future.

  • Identify the core issues of how, why and where humans generate and dispose of all types of waste.
  • Change the culture of rubbish proliferation through accountability, example and education on the multiple benefits of a clean environment for ALL sectors of the Victoria Falls community.

What we Monitor
