How Switzerland gets rid of plastic waste

How Switzerland gets rid of plastic waste

My report was about plastic waste and how it is managed in Switzerland versus in Kenya. I spoke to key authorities as well as the citizens of Switzerland and Kenya to get a comparison of how plastic waste is managed in both countries.

How Switzerland gets rid of plastic waste

Laura Chebet Birir

My name is Laura Chebet Birir. I am a Journalist, Health & Science Reporter, and Mental Health Advocate. As a multimedia journalist, I have had the opportunity to work for top media houses like Royal Media Services and the Standard Media Group in Kenya. Other than mainstream media, I am a passionate writer on varied subjects. I run a blog that helps me address pertinent issues that represent my ideologies and those of notable guest writers.
 With the current threat of climate change to our ecosystem, I am seriously concerned about my country and our planet at large. I would like to use my voice as a reporter and be part of the solutions toward curbing and eradicating the effects of climate change. In this regard, I am grateful that I have been given a chance by EQDA to do this. I am also a wife and mother of two beautiful daughters.

J’arrive à la RTS en 2019, après un bachelor en philosophie et en histoire, suivi d’un master de journalisme à Neuchâtel. Après un passage à la chaîne d’information en continu, j’opère depuis plus d’un an et demi comme journaliste multimédia à la rubrique société/culture TV, où j’ai eu la chance d’être formée en tant que journaliste reporter d’images. Un job passionnant puisqu’il me permet d’être polyvalente et de jongler avec différents médiums : presse, réseaux sociaux et reportages vidéos à destination du web ou du téléjournal.
