Recycle Reuse Rebuild!

Oct 27, 2016

The Matènwa Community School is using your donations to turn the hurricane disaster into an opportunity to show our neighbors how to use the ever mounting trash of plastic bottles to rebuild their walls. This technique is successfully being used in many countries as a way to deal with their plastic trash. With no recycling on Lagonav, most people burn the trash piles after dark, while all of us involuntarily inhale the toxic fumes in our sleep.

We will rebuild our new hurricane proof walls with plastic bottle bricks! Merolus is happy to be on our list!
