    JEFF: Citizen Planet: Ever wondered where billboards go when their messages have run their course? For many, they end up discarded, adding to the growing waste and environmental challenge. OLIVE: But in Mombasa, a group of young innovators is giving old billboards a second life, turning them into bags, pillowcases and other useful products.

Francis Mtalaki reports on this week’s Citizen Planet.
