An indigenous ecological market in the Amazon forest that exchanges plastic and aluminum cans against food.
Indigenous communities are increasingly becoming essential players in protecting the Amazon and are fighting for the legal ownership of their ancestral territories. In addition to the classic outside threats of deforestation, mining, and logging, tons of plastic products are being introduced into even the most remote areas of the Amazon as trade in the towns increases (plastic bottles, aluminum cans, bags, packaging, etc.). Unfortunately, this influx has not been accompanied by any infrastructure for recycling or disposal, resulting in an accumulation of plastic waste that the communities cannot handle. |
