ODYSSEY #94 - Peru : In the jungle of plastic

Iquitos is Peru’s largest Amazonian city and it is situated in the middle of the jungle, not far from where the Amazon River has its source. Moreover, the city sprawls along the banks of one of the main tributaries of this legendary river, which is one of the 10 most polluted waterways in the world. The only access to it from the rest of the country is by air or river, with several days of navigation required to reach the nearest city. The Race for Water Foundation is dedicated to the preservation of the water and the oceans in particular. Today, seriously under threat from plastic pollution, it is imperative that this essential resource for life is protected.To prevent plastic waste from reaching the waterways and oceans by developing social models and business models that give value to plastic waste and hence encourage its collection.
