Recycling out of poverty.
Santo Domingo.- The Dominican-French Chamber of Commerce (CCDF) on Wednesday stressed the importance of protecting the environment with the strategic formula: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle, during the 8th round of its "Sustainable Dialogue."
Agriculture and Forestry Development Center (CEDAF) 3 R's Program director Ginny Heinsen said the country’s companies should invest in this type of initiative because it promotes the creation of jobs and is vital to the national economy development.
She said those projects increase business competitiveness, contributing to economic development and create jobs, adding that those initiatives aim to increase the income of the neediest families, by taking part in the recycling process, which is mostly handled informally. "It’s a way to mitigate the costs of economic development on the environment."
The expert on recycling said CEDAF’s policy targets the reduction and recycling of resources used in production processes as one of the ways to increase market competitiveness, whereas the 3Rs network aims to raise awareness and promote action between the public and private sectors.
CEDAF announced that companies in the CCDF will participate in the recycling trade fair 2013, held in northern France.

Great work to be done in recycling and reducing energy consumption. In France, a progressive country, horses are used for the refuse carts in suitable towns and each category of waste has a separate container at households. Re-usable supermarket bags are common.

Step 1. remove and ban polystyrene containers.
2. put a return deposit on plastic, aluminum cans and glass.
3. enforce littering and garbage dumping laws (or make some)
4. promote, sell and use both degradable plastic shopping bags and reusable shopping bags made from recycled materials....
Before long we can all have a cleaner healthier country without the mountains of roadside rubbish and have clean rivers and beaches for all....

Ramon Rogelio Genao wants his piece of the pie
The spokesman for the PRSC bloc of deputies, Ramon Rogelio Genao, is aspiring to lead the Chamber of Deputies as of 16 August, as part of the bill that the Reformists will send to the ruling PLD. The PRSC was an ally of the PLD in the recent elections and for this reason, Genao and the deputies who make up the bloc will announce his candidacy to the country today, Thursday 31 May, which he says "is a way to have democratic balance and participation" (in the Chamber of Deputies).

Nonetheless, PLD deputies expressed surprise at Genao's aspiration, since according to their version of events the post of president of the Chamber of Deputies was not part of the negotiations by the party leadership. Reformist Party leader Humberto Salazar clearly established that the party did not make a pact with the President-elect, Danilo Medina, based on the sharing out of public jobs or benefits in the new administration. Along these lines, he said that the leaders who have publically asked Medina for jobs or posts are not authorized by the PRSC to do so, just because the PRSC was the determining factor in Medina's first round victory.

Yes in countries that have very harsh laws that are imposed on illegal charcoal making and deforestation...

lol..... what are you saying? One doesn't need those laws to be imposed to make paper briquette monies, only an idea and a plan. Plus, it would help steer away participants from participating in the act of cutting down them trees illegally and it will create income for others
