Last year my wife Taylor photographed a project on communities in Haiti who are turning plastic trash into sustainable livelihoods given the growing economy for collecting and recycling bottles to be made into yarn and fabrics through organizations @threadintl and @doworkorg.

The option to reduce plastic use still remains a privilege. Some of us have the option of buying a metal straw or glass water bottles to refill, but in many parts of the world, single use plastics are the only option for even having clean water. Here in Haiti, there are entrepreneurs turning recycled bottles into better lives for their families and improving community stability but this industry is often unregulated. Without insight and community programs invested into these supply chains, the hard working people actually doing the collecting are under valued. With the right partners and authentic transparency, plastic can provide self-sufficiency, a good job, and beautiful products. It’s all a part of the larger story of how we, as a planet, can help keep plastics out of the ocean and from affecting the health of all living things.
