FILE - In this Thursday, Nov. 12, 2015 file photo, Joyce Njeri, 8, enjoys a rare moment of fun playing like a child with Shantel Akinyi, 2, on a pile of discarded sheets of plastic left over from the manufacture of flip-flops, at the garbage dump where Joyce herself and the mother of Shantel both work, in the Dandora slum of Nairobi, Kenya, before a ban on plastic bags came into force in Kenya in 2017. The oil industry in 2020 has asked the United States to pressure Kenya to change its world-leading stance against the plastic waste that litters Africa, according to environmentalists who fear the continent will be used as a dumping ground.
