Newspaper article from the Straits Times (September 20, 2014) about a factory start-up,
to turn plastic into landscaping products |
In my preceding post, I spoke about people having the opportunity or taking the initiative to start something that can help the environment. I stumbled upon this old newspaper article while lining my guinea pig's cage. It's about an ordinary woman, Lorna Rutto, who used her personal savings and prize money to start a factory to turn plastic trash into landscaping products. New life for the plastics! Her factory, EcoPost, is now pretty successful, in my opinion, since it's recycling 20 tonnes of plastic trash every month.
Her passion and grit are definitely laudable, and perhaps, if examples like her are given more attention, people will begin to realize that large-scale projects like hers can become reality. Such encouragement to do more!
