Litter4tokens (L4T) was set up by Clare Swithenbank-Bowman in December 2015 to tackle the dual challenge of litter and unemployment in a North Coast community in South Africa. L4T provides South African people with the opportunity to earn tokens in exchange for collecting recyclable and non-recyclable waste, simultaneously preventing thousands of tons of waste reaching the oceans and landfill as well as decreasing C02 levels, cleaning up communities, empowering and providing an income to people living in poverty. Picture Mr Ndlovo; 54 years old with no employment and hasn’t earned a salary for over 5 years and has 4 children to feed. He heard about the Litter4tokens campaign in 2015 and started picking up a bag of plastic, paper, glass and tin and collecting his tokens. He is now feeding himself and his family with 4 children and his grandma. He earns R1200 a month by collecting 240 bags of litter (recycling) from the river banks and communities. This is life changing, and needed to help the underfunded poorer communities. We all share the same ocean and the effects of dumping in any country affects the world. The cost of NOT doing something is worse than doing nothing.
