Environmental Sustainability Volunteering FAQs
What is ecobricking?
Ecobricking is a sustainable method using PET bottles filled with soft plastics to create building materials. This practice reduces harmful waste, cleans streets, lowers air pollution, protects water systems, preserves soil quality, and prevents wildlife from ingesting toxic plastics, creating a healthier environment for the Livingstone community.
How are ecobricks used in Africa?
Waste pollution is becoming a serious problem across Africa, and there is a great need for collaborative community initiatives that put reducing, reusing, and recycling waste first. Ecobricks are one of those solutions! By taking excess waste, cleaning it, and using it to build firm bricks, Ecobricks have quickly become a game-changer in sustainably reducing waste and building eco-friendly community infrastructure.
How do ecobricks help with environmental conservation?
Absolutely! Rather than bringing in new materials to build community structures, Ecobricks reuse and recycle previously discarded items and give them new life. By doing this, Ecobricks also reduces excess non-biodegradable waste from community environments, creating a genuinely cyclical approach to sustainability.
Do I need any prior experience in environmental conservation?
While prior experience is always welcome, most programs prioritise enthusiasm and a willingness to learn. If you’ve got an interest in the natural world, trees and conservation – you are halfway there! And you don’t have to worry, you’ll be working alongside experienced professionals who will guide you every step of the way.
