On March 16, 2017 ReCreate, in collaboration with the ECOESUELA project of the Dominican Republic Institute for Environmental Law (IDARD, for its acronym in Spanish), hosted a workshop for students ages 8 to 14 at the Batey Esperanza school in Batey Esperanza, San Pedro de Macorís.
The workshop, headed by Lucia Marte, the ReCreate coordinator, discussed the three golden rules, or the three Rs for the proper management of solid waste: reduce, reuse and recycle. The 40 students, accompanied by their teacher, created bags and bracelets out of used clothing. The students spent three hours working on this project and chatting about the importance of environmental sustainability.
The ECOESCUELA project organizes education programs where community members can gather to practice environmentalism and work together to support recycling efforts in their neighborhoods and local schools.
The activity is part of ReCreate’s mission to inform the Dominican Republic’s youth about environmental issues, and to teach them about good recycling practices.
About ReCrearte
The ReCrearte program works with the most disadvantaged communities, who receive training in the art of recycling and creating new objects from waste and simultaneously learn to develop an alternative source of income. The program revolves around the “three golden rules” (or 3Rs) for the proper management of solid waste: reduce, reuse, and recycle. The workshops demonstrate and emphasize the idea that recycling waste and transforming it into art and objects for daily use strengthen individuals and communities alike.
