Abstract

This chapter sets out to explore how the faith community in Ghana can be better involved in addressing solid waste management in the country. In Ghana, most of the principal streets are filled with heaps of trash, principally polythene products. The drains are choked with uncollected garbage causing flooding. The government spends huge sums of money on waste management due to the inhabitants’ poor attitude towards waste generation. The aim of chapter is to build a theology of stewardship by proposing advocacy for change of attitude toward God’s creation, commitment to purposeful solid waste management strategies, and confronting weaker systems that obstruct solid waste management as three practical ways the church in Ghana can help in dealing with the state’s solid waste problem.
