Editorial illustration of two Ghanaian women traders at Makola Market in Accra discussing food packaging. One woman in a blue patterned dress and headwrap holds an open white Styrofoam container with Indomie noodles. The other woman holds brown paper-based takeaway boxes and banana leaves as alternatives. Behind them, market stalls display Banku and Tilapia with signs showing GH¢150 and GH¢200. A pile of discarded Styrofoam packs blocks a drain, highlighting plastic pollution. The scene captures the economic concerns of women vendors ahead of Ghana's Styrofoam ban.
