Plastic garbage is a problem around the world. In Guatemala, in Central America, many towns have trouble collecting garbage. So large amounts of plastic garbage；so plenty of plastic garbage (leave) in the streets. Susanne Heisse came up with idea to help solve this problem.
Her idea was to help communities (社区)work together (build) plastic-bottle schools. First, people collect plastic bottles, and then they fill the bottler with plastic garbage. By (push) a large amount of garbage into the bottle, the bottle, becomes strong, can then be used to make walls. In the end, an entire school can be built.
One group in Guatemala, Hug It Forward, first (start) using this idea in its projects. Because plastic bottle schools are (cheap) than the other schools built in the (tradition) way, other groups have also started similar projects around the world.
Now, plastic-bottle schools can be found in (place) such as South Africa, Cambodia and the Philippines. Through such projects, garbage is turned something useful.
