Imagine getting a free meal just for cleaning up your city!
In Ambikapur, India, residents can trade plastic trash for food at a Garbage Café.
People drop off plastic at a city center, earn meal vouchers, and enjoy free breakfast or lunch. The city then sells the recycled plastic to companies, reducing pollution and fighting hunger. Create your own version of a “Swap for Good” program that helps solve two problems simultaneously, like the Garbage Café.
In a paragraph, describe:
- What’s being traded (ex: trash for food, clothing for school supplies, recycling for bus passes, etc.)
- Who benefits and how
- Who runs the program (ex: city government, local business, school club)
- What makes your idea sustainable or creative
- Give it a catchy name
