Peace cannot be secured entirely by commercial interests, military alliances, general disarmement or mutual treaties, unless the spirit for peace is there in the minds and will of the people. This is a matter of education.

Scouts in St. Vincent and the Grenadines are educating their local communities about the uses of plastics and possibilities for recycling. They aim to make their island cleaner and help to keep the environment plastic-free.
Description
The Scouts are working hard to reduce the use of plastics, reuse plastic bags and other such items, and recycle all the waste that can be transformed and reused.
They started their project with an awareness and information campaign in newspapers and on the radio. These articles and programmes explain the many uses of plastics, and also the possibilities to recycle them and transform them into new products.
Scout groups are working in their communities, and in particular in schools, to convince people to change their habits and to show them how to recycle their plastic waste. In addition, they are taking part in cleaning-up projects, to limit the damage already done to the environment.
