    😎♻A BiG Hallo here from South Africa! I lost most everything about 7 months ago....This made me slow down, appreciate life and nature more! I remembered only a few weeks ago, that I had a fire inside me in lockdown when I saw One Army & Precious Plastics for the first time. That fire is re-ignited! I have been selling whatever I can to get tools to recycle and learning every day about recycling as Precious Plastics show us. I have also watched every video of Brothers make. I have my sister and her household helping me collect, I collect on the beach and wherever I walk around here, also getting the community involved to give me their plastic. Next week I am registering my business. Tomorrow I am starting with a sandwich press t melt and build from there! No turning back now!
