On November 6th, 2024, MEER embarked on an innovative journey to promote sustainability through its upcycling training program in Freetown's Aberdeen community. This initiative represents a pivotal step in harnessing creative recycling to address environmental challenges, focusing on transforming discarded plastic waste into valuable and functional products that contribute to passive cooling adaptations.

As Freetown continues to grow and urbanize, innovative projects that integrate both aesthetic appeal and functional utility are increasingly vital. One such initiative, led by the MEER (Mirrors for Earth's Energy Rebalancing) team, is set to transform the Aberdeen roundabout into not just a traffic facilitator but a beacon of community and comfort. The upcoming installation of a park canopy, meticulously planned and designed by our Freetown team, is a testament to this vision.
