The work of Peruvian Albina Ruiz shows just what personal committment can achieve. She is in charge of the environmental organisation "Ciudad Saludable" - "Healthy City".
Many of Peru's cities are choking in garbage and it is always the very poorest who suffer. But garbage is also a valuable resource for many who hunt for recycleable items and sell plastic bottles, paper and rags to intermediaries. Ciudad Saludable works directly with the garbage collectors and helps them to organise themselves into professional recycling firms. People previously scorned by society now fufil an important role for the community and receive recognition - they are the new environmental experts. Albina Ruiz has been given an award by the Schwab foundation for her tireless efforts. More and more cities in Peru and neighbouring countries plan to follow Ciudad Saludable's lead.

she has done a wonderful job, it amazes me how cities in germany and japan seem so impeccable, while some of our cities in north america are a bit unclean, there are brown fields that need to be restored along the eastern corridor of south florida which can later be used for housing!
