Afsluiting

Het inzicht in de relatie tussen opvoeding - gebaseerd op het hiërarchische karakter van de ‘Ghanese’ (West-Afrikaanse) samenleving - en de interactie met afval, geeft het belang van antropologisch onderzoek weer, zodat we de oorzaken van milieuproblemen beter begrijpen. Etnografisch veldwerk is nodig om duurzame initiatieven van organisaties als Closing the Loop te laten aansluiten op de lokale situatie en daarmee succesvoller te maken (cf. Little 1999; cf. Scoones 1999; cf. Crate 2011; cf. Bird 2015; cf. Orr et al. 2015). Milieuvervuiling en klimaatverandering zijn immers oorzaken van menselijk handelen en kunnen alleen bestreden worden door duurzame initiatieven te laten aansluiten op dat menselijk handelen (cf. Crate 2011).

Ter afsluiting wil ik kort vermelden dat ik veel nieuwe energie, ideeën en ambities uit mijn onderzoek en het schrijven van deze scriptie heb gehaald. Ik heb tijdens het onderzoek interesse gevormd voor recycling, afvalverwerking, klimaatzaken en milieu. Dankzij deze scriptie wil ik verder met het bestrijden van de afvalproblematiek in West-Afrika. Ik ambieer een carrière bij een

internationale milieuorganisatie. Bij deze wil ik daar Universiteit Leiden voor bedanken, omdat zij mij in contact heeft gebracht met de organisatie Closing the Loop en met antropologisch veldwerk in Ghana.
