This dramatized story of Isatou Ceesay, a woman who initiated a recycling campaign in her hometown of Njau, Gambia. As a young girl, Isatou did what all the other people in her village did: she used plastic bags, discarded them on the ground when they tore, and got new ones. It was only when Isatou began to grow older that she saw the damage that was caused by the discarded bags: sickened and dying livestock, crops that could not grow in trash-filled soil, the horrible smell of burning plastic bags in trash heaps, and an increase in malaria and other diseases as mosquitos were drawn to the bags full of rain water.
