Plastic bags are cheap and easy to use. But what happens when a bag breaks or is no longer needed? In Njau, Gambia, people simply dropped the bags and went on their way. One plastic bag became two.

Some were buried, but they strangled gardens. They killed livestock that tried to eat them. Something had to change.
