The Recycling I Go Program mission is to contribute and improve the quality of life of people with different abilities and low resources in Peru through orthopedic devices, providing them with the mobility and independence they deserve. At the same time, it promotes environmental responsibility, educating and training Social Ecowarriors, so that they become active defenders of their environment and their society, promoting ecological practices such as recycling and a continuous commitment to sustainability, the environment and the planet.
Ensure that beneficiaries of the orthopedic devices obtained by the plastic caps have access to a decent life with the possibility of obtaining a job, studying and opting for some economic development with the freedom that comes together with having an orthopedic or biomechanical device, thus creating a better future for their families. Likewise, through the program, we will be able to train a community of 1 million Eco-Social Warriors by 2030, becoming the largest community on the planet.
1. Decontaminate wetlands and all water sources such as rivers, streams, lakes, lagoons and the sea: As you know, we have plastic islands in all of these aforementioned wetlands, especially in the sea, the main source of our food and oxygen.
2. Save the lives of millions of species that live in all these wet sources, especially in the sea: We know that millions of seabirds die as a result of swallowing lids and thousands more species are affected by plastic in the sea.
3. Promote recycling as an obligation for all citizens of this planet, turning them into Eco-Social Warriors.
4. Improve the carbon footprint through our good practices.
5. Improve the respiratory health of our communities through the reuse of plastic, stopping emitting polluting Carbon Dioxide when producing new plastic.
6. Give work to the recyclers in our country, helping them to collect the product and also to the people who produce orthopedic devices.
7. Buy orthopedic devices with the funds obtained from the sale of the plastic caps.
8. Improve the quality of life of any person with special or different abilities who needs an orthopedic device, freeing them and making them independent of their condition because they do not have the possibility of acquiring a biomechanical device.
9. Release not only the person but two or more members of his or her family who maintain permanent care for this person to meet his or her basic needs such as cleanliness, exercise, taking him or her for a walk, feeding him or her, among others.
10. Releasing these people will improve the economic and emotional condition of the family as a whole, since these people will be able to develop other activities, work, study and thus achieve more income for the family.
11. Improve the self-esteem of the person deprived of their liberty without committing a crime other than not being able to buy an orthopedic device.
