Our river, our responsibility

The Nile is the heart of our land. It gives us everything: water for our families, food from its fish, and life for our farms. It is the great river that connects us all. But today, our beautiful Nile is getting sick. It is being choked with empty plastic bottles, and this is a sickness we are causing ourselves. ​Walk along the riverbanks, and you can see them everywhere. The empty bottles float on the water, get caught in the grass, and are left on the roadsides. This isn’t just an ugly sight; it’s a danger to our health and our future.​These bottles break down into tiny pieces you can’t even see. These small plastics mix with our drinking water and are eaten by the fish we depend on for food. They can also bring sickness, as bottles full of rainwater become a perfect home for mosquitoes that spread malaria.​But we can stop this. It’s a simple choice we can make every day. The next time you have an empty bottle, don’t just carelessly toss it on the roadside. Take it to a designated place for waste collection. This one small act, done by all of us, will make a huge difference in keeping our river clean and our people healthy.​​Protecting the Nile is a big job. Some challenges, like climate change, need more than just individual effort. We must also support the organizations that are working hard to fight for our environment.​The Greenniche Conservational Institute is on the front lines, tackling these bigger problems to ensure our land and water stay healthy. By supporting their work, we are investing in a clean future for our children and generations to come.​The Nile has cared for us for centuries. Now, it is our turn to care for the Nile. Let’s work together to ensure our river remains a symbol of life and pride, not a river of trash.#Rivernileissick#BeatPlasticPollution #recycledreused #SupportGCI
