Herein is the second round of photos from my journey to South Africa two weeks ago for the 3rd Annual Trash to Treasure Festival.

The price of admission to the Festival was one eco-brick – a plastic bottle stuffed full of waste plastics – which could then be placed into a wall of the outdoor classroom that is being built at the Greyton Green Park.

It was a huge milestone for us to see this vision realized at the Festival this year; people gathering and containing  the plastic waste of their community and dumping site and utilizing it immediately as a building material.
