In @NextBillion's most-read article from June @sofiao from @SolarAid shares a #CircularEconomy solution to reduce #EWaste and build resilience in #RuralCommunities in #Africa: https://t.co/Hf0LDLmlCC #SustainableFuture #ElectronicWaste #solar #SocialEnterprise #socent #socimp

I thoroughly enjoyed exploring the opportunities of #circulareconomy as a way of not only dealing with one of the fastest growing waste streams, but also to build resilience in vulnerable communities that are being hit the hardest by #climatechange.

"Training technicians to diagnose & repair solar lights has added benefits that go beyond extending the life of a solar light. Upskilling increases local knowledge of marketable skills, which can result in new entrepreneurship opportunities" https://t.co/WPYVezButO #SDG7 @sofiao

#Ewaste is the world’s fastest-growing solid waste stream — and much of it ends up in #Africa. @sofiao @SolarAid explores an intriguing #CircularEconomy solution: https://t.co/Kp65qOPJYQ #WorldEnvironmentDay #SustainableFuture #WED2023 #ConsciousPlanet #ElectronicWaste #solar

Can embracing failure help tackle some of the world’s most pressing issues? Today, we are launching our podcast ‘Permission to Fail’ with episode one hearing from @JohnAKeane @ifundraiser and @BraveMhonie on the value of setting big ambitions. https://t.co/rlPYWd52fc

For the many millions of people in sub-Saharan #Africa who lack energy access, sunset brings an almost enveloping dark. Can solar Light Libraries begin to change that? https://t.co/qepo2WFRGZ #SDG7 #SDG4 #SolarEnergy @SolarAid @pvmagazine

We all had dreams of what we wanted to be when we grew up, but for children growing up without access to electricity, dreaming up a different future can be difficult. A #SolarLight can power the dreams that will power a brighter future for people and the planet.

Light has the power to illuminate our dreams and create a brighter future. Today, on #LightDay2022, we invite you to reflect on how light has powered your dreams. Everyone deserves access to light and together we can create a brighter future ☀ https://t.co/pMVwySJXIH #IDL2022
