“Simera’s business, BitEgreen, is seeking to solve the Caribbean’s waste management challenge. It is looking at incentivising wider participation in recycling by providing rewards that appeal to a broader cross-section of society; tackling issues of sorting garbage at the source by implementing schemes to achieve separation of recyclables within homes and businesses; and developing a reliable collection and disposal network for recyclables.

It has also begun a regional conversation about how Caribbean states can turn waste into resources.”…Read full article below:

Part 2 of video:  I joined TEN Habitat in the middle of 2017 seeking to develop my idea which involved a recycling initiative within schools coupled with a T-shirt campaign to help catalyse environmental best practices; and received the tools, critical questioning and discussion needed to evolve and test this idea further into a business that can be scaled, while focusing more on a solution for the root problems. Hence, allowing me to return to the drawing board using my skills to design an updated solution based on discussions. – Simera R. Crawford
