Our Journey
Our Roots & Commitment
Born from the urgency of the climate crisis, Zero Plastic Liberia is the voice of a new generation of environmental stewards in West Africa, Liberia.
It Started with a Vision.
Zero Plastic Liberia (ZPL) is a registered, youth-led, non-governmental and non-profit environmental organization. Headquartered in Paynesville City, our reach extends through community chapters nationwide.
As an organization established in 2024, we bring fresh energy, innovative strategies, and a deep understanding of the intersectional nature of environmental justice. We believe that youth are not just the leaders of tomorrow, but the most vital change agents of today.
