Vieques Recycling Partnership
The Vieques Recycling Association was created in an effort to foster sustainability efforts in this pilot community. Currently, university interns from the Sustainable Materials Management Education Program are working to establish both municipal and school composting programs in Vieques.
As a pilot community for the PRRP, Vieques was hosting innovative and environmental-focused school programmes. The VRP encourages Vieques students of all ages to learn first about solid waste management issues at the local, regional and global levels, and then get involved locally!
