(2021·湘豫名校联盟高三联考)Oriola Oluwaseyi, 32, makes her way through the busy streets of Ajegunle, a lowincome community in Nigeria's commercial center, Lagos.
The Nigerian mother of four is pushing through people and things in the streets to collect plastic waste bottles from retail stores.In the evening, Oluwaseyi will drop the bottles at Moritz International School where her 8yearold daughter attends primary school.The bottles will act as a down payment for her daughter's tuition.As a small trader earning a little from trading car engine oil at busy Ajegunle Market in Nigeria's economic center, Lagos, Oluwaseyi does not earn enough to cover the annual 18,000naira(around $50) school fees.
“Whenever a new session is about to start, sometimes we get worried when there is no money,” Oluwaseyi said.However, thanks to a recent partnership with Africa Cleanup Initiative(ACI), a nongovernmental organization with focus on sustainability(可持续性),Oluwaseyi's daughter's school now accepts the plastic bottles, also known as PET bottles, in exchange for school fees.Through a program called Recycles Pay, ACI collaborates(合作)with schools in lowincome communities to allow parents who are unable to afford fees for their children to pay using plastic bottles they collect.
Twice a month Oluwaseyi visits her daughter's school with bags full of sorted plastic bottle recyclable.The cost of tuition is determined by how many PET bottles she has collected.
“My daughter's headmaster introduced me to this program last year, and I subscribed to the project because I knew it was something to relieve myself of the burden of spending money on the fees,” she said.“The program has given me a method to channel the funds I would have spent on school fees,” she added.
There are more than 450,000 megatons(百万吨)of plastic waste discarded(丢弃) in Lagos waters every year, according to reports in local media.Nigeria generates huge amounts of plastic waste,
