Green Friday's School Recycling Program USAID_CCBO
The next generation of environmental champions are leading the charge against ocean plastic pollution in the Sámana Province, Dominican Republic. Through the Green Friday's school recycling program, supported by USAID's Clean Cities, Blue Ocean program, students learn about the 3Rs—reduce, reuse, recycle—and embrace the pivotal role of recycling in a circular economy. In a mere eight weeks, two schools united to collect nearly 15,000 plastic bottles, marking a significant step towards sustainability. Here, an instructor is sorting plastic waste the children collected and saved from entering the environment.
