'Kiribati Te Boboto' means Kiribati the beautiful.
It’s a slogan you see almost everywhere on South Tarawa—Kiribati’s administrative capital—where solid waste management used to be a problem that had no real solution.

At the beginning of this millennium, solid waste disposal took its toll on Kiribati’s environment—mostly visible along . . .
