Dozens of students from Loyola College participated in the Recrearte workshop, organized by the GFDD/Funglode initiative, as part of the Dominican Environmental Film Festival. The workshop was held on Friday May 8th at Loyola College in Santo Domingo.
Students in middle and elementary school took part in the creative recycling workshop which stressed the importance of reusing paper and discarded clothing thus avoiding pollution along our coastlines.
Bertha Santana, coordinator of ReCrearte, explained the principles of the 3Rs for proper solid waste management: reduce, reuse and recycle. The workshops demonstrate and underscore the idea that recycling waste and transforming it into art empowers students, professionals, housewives and members of the entire community.
