Meanwhile, YEN.com.gh earlier reported that a beautiful building that attested to the power of recycling got many social media users talking.
Posting about the house, the Danish embassy in Ghana said the building is the country's first house made from plastic waste.
A man named Danida Nelson Boateng applied to the organisation and his workers were trained. The fine house was made from 13,000 kilograms of plastic that were cast into bricks.
