Plastic Lumber

The consumer culture in Colima, Mexico involves the use of plastic bags to package everything. Going to the market to by food for one person for one week can easily end up in adding 15 plastic bags to the pile that is already at home. So far there isn't a wide scale plastic recycling programme in place in this city and most people are not conscious of the large about of plastic that each of us adds to the environment on a daily basis. Another thing i've noticed about Colima is the high cost of lumber. A plastic lumber project could posibly work for this city.
