October 30 1.3 Million Kilos of Clothes on the Beach?! Speak Volumes | Stay By Plan S06E24
Between June 2025 and May 2026 alone, weekly cleanups removed over 1.37 million kilograms of clothing and plastic waste from a single beach. But cleanups alone won't fix the problem.
On this episode of Stay By Plan, Eleanor and Zuu are joined by Janet and Chloe! They discuss the work The Or Foundation and the Tide Turners team do on the beaches of Accra and break down the surprising data gap behind global fashion: why major brands refuse to disclose their total annual garment production, how overproduction leads to waste colonialism, and why having exact unit numbers is the first step toward real policy and accountability.

In this episode, we sit down with DJ, creative, and culture curator Cedric Bansah (aka M00nc4ke) for an honest conversation about the shifting dynamics of living in Accra today.
As more young Ghanaians and creatives look beyond borders, we unpack the reality of brain drain, what drives people to leave, and what it means for the local creative ecosystem. We also explore the complex, evolving relationship between the diaspora and Ghana. We balance idealisation with the on-the-ground reality of building a life and culture here.
