On this World Health Day, amidst the urgency of global health challenges, the theme "Plastic
Versus Planet" serves as a poignant reminder of the interconnectedness of human health and
environmental sustainability. As we grapple with the consequences of plastic pollution on our
ecosystems and health, the imperative of proper waste disposal has never been more pressing.
In a collaborative effort to address this critical issue, the ESG department of Marble Advisory, in
partnership with Switch Recycling, embarked on an impactful awareness trek across Lagos
Island. This initiative aimed to educate communities on the importance of responsible waste
management and promote sustainable practices for a healthier planet.
Throughout the trek, several significant locations were visited, including the NGX building,
King's College, Eko Akete Grammar School, and the environs of Tinubu. At each stop, plastic
waste disposal items were distributed, emphasizing the need for proper waste segregation and
recycling. Communities were engaged through interactive sessions, raising awareness about the
detrimental effects of plastic pollution on public health and the environment.
The collaboration between Marble Advisory and Switch Recycling underscores a shared
commitment to environmental stewardship and community empowerment. By combining
expertise in ESG advisory, financial consultancy, and waste management, this partnership
