Eco-Bricks Wall

Samuel Alvarez and Adriana Salazar, Guatemala, Chimaltenango, Colegio Mesoamericano

In 2010 our principal came to our 5th grade class and presented the idea of eco-bricks. We both were between 10 and 11 years old. She told us that we could build things out of the Eco bricks, one of them being the eco-wall. We did not do much with the idea at the time. But it stayed in our minds. Two years later our projects teacher told us to choose between several environmental projects for us to work on during the year. Five of us decided to restart the eco-wall project. Both of us were very excited about it, and we continued designed, people came and left, but each one helped us get one step closer to our goal. Our purpose was making a wall that would give the community a message, and along with it, leave something to the school.
