Isatou Ceesay was born in 1972 in a small village in the Gambia,Africa.As a teenager,Ceesay was forced to drop out of school because of poverty.She used a woven basket to carry some goods to sell in the market to raise herself.When the basket broke,she took a plastic bag and started using it.She liked how strong and light the plastic bag was.Other people in the Gambia thought the same and saw the same advantages of plastic bags.Then plastic bags became popular in the Gambia.The problem was that people did not reuse the bags and simply threw them behind their homes.Over time,the houses in her village were surrounded by rubbish.
Ceesay lived in such an environment for many years.She kept leaning from the surrounding environment and planned to take action to change it.In 1997,she started a recycling movement called One Plastic Bag in the Gambia.She educated women in the Gambia to recycle plastic waste.
In the beginning,the movement had a task of educating villagers about the need to reuse rubbish and recycle plastic waste,rather than letting the rubbish increase behind their homes.
Over time,the movement became big and was able to provide income for women around.It was also able to greatly reduce plastic waste in the Gambia.But the work of collecting rubbish turned out to be difficult.During the rainy season,plastic waste became wet and bard to take,and after that,it still took patience to dry it before it could be processed.
Ceesay said, "As a habit,people are used to pouring their rubbish behind their houses,and because it is not visible,they forget it But the bad effects knock on your door very quickly--dirty air,various diseases and so on.Of course,if one man's house is clean but his neighbor's is not,then the men is also not healthy."
For many years,Ceesay has continued to deal with the plastic waste.In 2012,she got the TIAW Difference Maker Award in Washington,DC,the United States.Her story was written into a book,which inspires many others to make a change in their own communities.
