Implementing a Recycling Program & Educational Campaign in Piñones, Puerto Rico
PúblicoThe goal of this project, initiated by the non-profit LimPiaR, was to develop an implementation plan and an educational program for recycling in Piñones, Puerto Rico. Before our project, Piñones struggled with a poor waste management infrastructure resulting in an inability to recycle plastics which often accumulated as litter on the beaches. Through research, documentation, interviews, and surveys, our team created and improved upon workshop materials to educate about how to recycle as well as posters that promote recycling and keeping beaches clean. The project resulted in an educational poster campaign, interactive workshops with local restaurants, the installation of a recycling container, and a recycling program for community members and 7 businesses with potential for expansion.
