KOTA KINABALU: A women-led platform here has called for those issuing contributions to those impacted by natural disasters, Covid-19 and such, to bear in mind the environmental sustainability and waste management aspects.

Borneo Speaks, a group of like-minded writers who produced community-based stories with a focus on vulnerable and minority groups, said this was a common issue they have found when generally observing non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and government donations to those in need.
