Nappies, games and desks

From reusable nappies to plastic desks - clever ways to cut waste and recycle.

Myra Anubi looks at three solutions connected to the 鈥渢hree Rs鈥 鈥 reduce, reuse and recycle. The city of Brussels is in the process of moving all 40 municipal nurseries over to reusable nappies 鈥 and have managed to do it without their staff kicking up a stink! Also - energy companies around the world have found ways to encourage customers to reduce their consumption by making it fun, and lastly we meet Makafui Awuku in Ghana - a man on a mission to turn used plastic into school desks.
