Taxi Drivers, Bike riders, road users and Bamenda public on Friday 21st of August 2026 gave in to the call of The Ideal Planet and Cameroon Climate Journalism Network (CCJN) on the collective need to combat Urban, and road Highways Waste Pollution.

This attitude was demonstrated by the way they welcomed the whole idea and officials carrying out the “Clean Ride” Campaign at major and key Junctions in Bamenda.

Urban and road Highways Waste pollution and disorder of late in the city of Bamenda Cameroon, have suddenly become a common call for concern.

Which is why The Ideal Planet and Cameroon Climate Journalism Network (CCJN) in synergy took upon themselves to launch the collective drive campaign to combat Urban and road Highways Waste pollution.

An initiative which intends to culture road users habit on waste disposal while in a taxi, a vehicle or using the urban space.

The excesses of rampant waste disposal in cars and along the road is the motive for this call for action.

Hygiene and sanitation, another great preoccupation to guarantee health safety even while in a public transport vehicle.

Coming back to the event and campaign proper in Bamenda major road Junctions of Hospital Road about, City Chemist, Mobile, Foncha’s Junction, it entailed open talks, public discuss, the distribution of flyers and the pasting of stickers on taxis, public transport cars and motorcycles on business activities around these areas.

Petit business operators around these major road Junctions were equally educated on why ground nut peelings and papers should be properly disposed of after usage to always permit these major Junctions areas and vehicles clean for the collective welfare of road users.

Social Welfare which demands hygiene and sanitation, cleanliness to combat waste pollution in our environment and nature protection.

The campaign this reporter must emphasize, was launched on this blessed Friday in Bamenda and actors intend to carry it out in all others Divisions, Sub-Divisions, Villages and Regions to make the campaign a national call for action.
