You seriously underestimate Dominicans.
I get the impression from your words, that you are Dominican yourself, although not living here.
You also underestimate the power of advertising.
Dominicans are very proud.
Once taught to be proud about keeping their country beautiful, by not littering, they will pressure others to do the same.
To think that they are not capable of doing it this way, is almost like saying they are sub-human.
