4. The first pilot was given to the IDB’s (International Development Bank) office in Port-au-Prince in December 2019 as a recognition for their support and in order to make the project known to people who enter the building. As it is an artistic sculpture, it decorates the outer space and works as the original sample of the following containers. The said institution is responsible for its use. Our next container is under process and will be placed in one of the public schools where children would be able to use it and the recycling associative chain will start to roll. It will be a slow and long process of change in the community's mindsets in the longer run. The level of involvement of the authorities of the educational institutions is key to reinforce the depth of the proposal, added to the strength of the youth and the fact that it is a container manufactured by the community itself, around representative elements of its culture and environment. These elements can encourage its use.

3. Haiti has the lowest solid waste collection rate in Latin America and the Caribbean. The insufficient collection system increases the risk of floods and of diseases. It is imperative to join efforts to transmit responsibility through the acquisition of knowledge by social groups, and their incorporation of attitudes and skills necessary to solve socio-environmental problems. Reducing and reusing plastic means decreasing greenhouse gas emissions and the consumption of non-renewable natural energy resources. It can improve people's quality of life and help to create circular economy models. By knowing about the process of recycling plastic, its benefits and its different possibilities the youths will interiorize this logic and will be motivated to pass it on to others, understanding the need to use the dustbins not only to keep their school and surroundings clean but to help provide community needs. The containers will be labeled with slogans and instructions for their proper use.

2. We do it as extracurricular activities considering Haitian students missed a lot of study time. Each Pibel Poubel takes 4 hours per week, for 8 weeks. The workshops propose 2 complementary aspects: a. The technical part shows how plastic waste impacts the environment, the importance of reducing its consumption, and how to recycle in different levels of a social being. It also gives them information on the different types of plastic, differentiating which of them and how can be recycled; b. The human formation part brings a holistic view of human development and it is about the caring of the “common home” based on the first chapter of encyclical Laudato Si’ which includes the topics: Pollution and Climate change, the issue of water, loss of biodiversity, decline in the quality of human life and breakdown of society, global inequality, weak responses, connecting this bibliography with contemporary authors, documentaries, and press news.

HELLO IRENE 1. We have contact with secondary schools (PauP & Okap), formation entities, religious congregations, and primary schools in 5 different Departments. We are in touch with some actors involved in the recycling field: the Franciscan Friars who recycle plastic by building blocks. The idea would be to gather some of the plastic collected by the communities where the Pibel Poubel will be installed and give it to them. These blocks could be given to organizations like Techo to respond to vulnerable communities’ needs. The “Plastic Bank” a recycling social enterprise that is ready to receive plastic collected from schools and convert it into nurdles that are sold to global brands that recycle it and reuse it. We research actors involved in the recycling industry and still have to contact some potential allies: Sogeplast (Haiti Plastics), HP, SCSSA. We have received support from BID to make the first pilot and we are in the process of making a second one financed by MEDFP.
