Months collecting bottles: "Plastics for school supplies"

Since January, a family living in the Los Guandules neighborhood of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, has systematically collected plastic bottles from the streets. Although they did not keep an exact count of the items gathered over the months, their primary goal was to accumulate enough material to exchange for school supplies.

The initiative, captured under the heading "Plásticos por útiles escolares," highlights a grassroots effort combining environmental cleanup with resourcefulness to secure educational materials. The family's months-long endeavor reflects the direct actions taken by residents to meet seasonal educational needs through recycling.
