Why is Ghana swimming in trash?
b"
We regularly hear about plastic pollution \\u2013 but what about textile waste?\\nAn activist is swimming the length of Ghana's longest river \\u2013 all 450 kilometres of it - to highlight the issue of unchecked second hand clothing imports and its impact on water pollution.\\nGhana imports a staggering 15 million pieces of unwanted clothing every WEEK - more than any other African country.
The clothes are donated or recycled by people from the west, but 40% of the items actually end up in landfill. Many are then washed into rivers.
