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.

It's a cultural thing. The US had the exact same problem once. All it took was consistent education, some stiff sanctions (NOT stiff Sankies
), and time to create a cultural shift.
The very fact Dominicans ARE proud just makes the process easier.
If I was ever elected President of the DR, I'd pledge to do four things:
-clean up the garbage permanently
-establish a REAL non-partisan Civil Service system
-establish viable electronic data systems for the government
-establish a more effective tax collection system.
