  Our waste disposal companies like Zoom Lion do not have the capacity to deal with this plastic menace and the few recycling factories also cannot cope with this. The only sensible thing to do is to ban plastic containers like sachet water , black and blue plastic bags mentioned and convert to plastic bottles for our water and paper bags for the plastic ones. Plastic bottles are easier to collect and reused. There must be pragmatic solutions to this problem.

  The government should launch, initiate and demand from the citizen every Sunday in the time from 5:00 am to 9:00 am a general cleaning day to handle this problem. After this hours they can go to their churches to pray to "God" for whatever they want.
  
  Are we a race lack of creative thinking to solve our problems? We blame the white race for our problems, at the other hand, we want the white race to come and solve things for us. The black race is getting more retarded in their thinking.

  Paul Kagame of Rwanda banned plastic waste, and Rwanda is a beautiful country today. Why not Ghana? Pro active leadership at the local, regional and national leadership lacking. The FM radio stations can play a key role in the fight against plastic waste. The front view of the Flagstaff House has plastic waste right now! God would not clean Ghana, we must do it.
