What would work in the US will not work in DR. We simply have a very different mind-set. No amount of prodding will make most Dominicans abandon their "throw-away wherever" pattern. They (most) do not seem to associate garbage= decease= eyesore= lower income. They just don't get it!
The ONLY way they will react in a positive way is to offer them
money to do the job you want done. There's simply NO other way!!
Alright, How is this accomplished? #1. Get as many "think-alike" people as possible. #2. Direct your comrades (in sets of two), to visit businesses along the most polluted streets and ask for their help. #3 Delegate a large group of your organization to talk to the local
sindicos and see if they will help in ANY way to do the job that's technically their's. #4. If no reaction from the local government leaches, have your group recruit a large number of people to pick up garbage where it's most needed. Presumably this is paid for by the local business association. #5. Go to the mayor papers ( Listin, Hoy) and make a big stink about the sorry state of the north coast AND the freaking country due to neglect and the laissez-faire attitude in local sindicos. #6. Run for office yourself and clean up the town figuratively and literary!
More power to you Jackieboo for trying to better our lives! I salute you!!!
If I lived there I'd be your most enthusiastic backer! I wish you great success!
