Here's today's wonderful news
about a wonderful world!
This
is part of a series of daily reminders that a more wonderful world
is being built from the actions of millions of people, each day. You
are offered examples to explore whenever you would like to be uplifted
and inspired, energized and reassured. This is a wonderful type of world
news!
It seems obvious that we experience what we are paying attention to, so if we want more life-enhancing experiences, we should direct more of our attention to more life-enhancing news, happenings, and stories.
Also,
when we feel life-enhanced, we are radiating, broadcasting those
"vibes" outward, and others are uplifted into resonance, to some degree.
And the more of us radiating, the more others are uplifted. So joy is
service!
In
this series, we emphasize discovering whole groups of people who are
creating a more wonderful world, each in their own way.
You
can add things you find, for others to discover and pay attention to,
via commenting on this post, or any post in the series. You can access a list of links to each post in the entire series by clicking here: https://divinelightchurch.blogspot.com/2020/11/wonderful-world-news-list-of-published.html
DAY 145
Nzambi Matee says she was “tired of being on the sidelines” while civil servants struggled against plastic waste in the capital city of Nairobi, so the materials engineer created a product that is 5 to 7 times stronger than concrete.
Founder of Gjenge Makers, which transforms plastic waste into durable building materials, Matee also designed the machines that manufacture the bricks in her factory.
Getting dumps of plastic low and high-density polyethylene and polypropylene from local packaging plants for free, Gjenge Makers produces a variety of different paving stones after the plastic polymer is heated and mixed with sand.
“There is waste they cannot process anymore; they cannot recycle. That is what we get,” Matee told Reuters.
The result is a line of versatile building materials pressed via hydraulic machine into different thicknesses, that sell in a variety of colors that cost an average of $7.70 per square meter.
So far, she has employed more than 110 people, helping to churn out about 1,500 bricks every day. She told Reuters that they have recycled about 20 metric tons of plastic waste since the company was founded in 2018.
