We made the MESS – we need to clean it up!

We are RESPONSIBLE …

Responsible: The ability to Respond.

What ability do YOU have?

• Realized way fwd was synergistic collaboration between all stakeholders, Public (govt), Private (individuals and corporate), Social

Communities (Religious, Schools, Rotary, Lions etc), NGOs, Donor Community.

• ‘Shareholders” = ownership = responsibility = accountability

• Wider picture: The world’s biggest problems could have been solved

easily when they were small.

• Ie: Begin with the small problems and the large can be easily solved. Ref. Mayor Giluani

Look at Short / Medium / Long Term goals

• EG: Clean Up Days; Signage ‘No Dumping’; Waste Paper Bins; Collection from these and

neighborhoods; Branding of this;

• Recycling projects / Symposiums – must feature grass roots technology

• More Community Storage and Timely Removal;

Sewage plants; Wetland conservation;

• Urban Planning – Master Plan, Parks and other recreation designated areas

…because most people don’t care.

We all agree trash LOOKS terrible

But does it affect us?

Kawe Beach Extremely hazardous medical waste like syringes, are found amongst the plastic.

We are the cause of suffering & slow death to our wildlife and environment.

New York City was once a graffiti covered vandalized city where muggings, murders and rape were daily occurrences.

Mayor Giuliani changed all that by building a culture of

respect, hygiene and good citizenship. He and his Police Commissioner believed that dealing

with the small (graffiti, littering, anti-social behaviour) would take care of the big (major crime, theft, murder).

It worked! Their vision was quality of life and zero tolerance for

anything that prevented this.

Do we want to wait till it gets to this?

WE NEED TO CHANGE OUR LIMITING BELIEFS

“But this is Tanzania Bwanaaaaa…” “I pay my taxes…. It’s the Governments

responsibility…” “What can I do?… the problem is too big!”

Planes weren’t invented with thoughts of ‘impossible’…

The radical transformation witnessed during the ‘Arab Spring’ didn’t start with the belief that it wasn’t

possible…

So why should we sabotage our possibility of having a safe, clean and green city?

VANDALISM

City cleanliness begins with me I am the change

I am able I will I can

Now is the time for a new belief in Tanzania and it is called ….. NIPE FAGIO!

Nipe Fagio is the facilitator for this change

Belief - Action - Result

We are about Raising Awareness

Knowing our Rights

Responsibility

Accountability

Community

T.E.A.M. Together Everyone Achieves More. Govt, Companies, Communities, YOU!

Apart from the obvious - Healthier living, safer living, easier on the eye, easier on the nose, ‘feel good’ factor of being kind to the environment and wildlife, … What else? $$$ always makes us Yes – a cleaner, greener city means more spin off value added, business and cash for all for all to benefit Recycling businesses, from grass roots level to big industry (waste to wealth)

Service and Supply Contracts for various waste mgt activities Recreational area spin off – eg. food and beverage vendors Property value increase Tourism increases General economic activity increase

Others have done it – so why can’t we?

Let’s sow the seeds of positive thinking… … Just imagine …

"The most important thing that a sustainable city has to have is beauty. Because if something is not beautiful or not meaningful people do not take care of it and do not develop responsibility and they forget about it. Things that do not stick to memory in a positive way or at least in a stimulating way will never be taken care of." -Thomas Sieverts
