Another fine example of the Youth of Jamaica taking Plastic Recycling to heart...if only practical, economically sound, locally appropriate technologies, utilizing inbred entrepreneurial skills, would surface to meet the challenges to this industriousness!
With the help of Peace Corps volunteer Adriana Beltrani, who was posted at Salem All-Age School in Beeston Spring, at the end of a six-week period the students collected 27,100 bottles weighing 1,355 pounds. They sold them to Plastic Recyclers of Jamaica and managed to raise $5,420 for their community.
