Synopsis: Plastic Desert Project is a project operating in the arid coastal lands of Northern Peru. Where plastic bags pollute the desert landscape with many different colors. An unrealistic sight and a threat to life on earth and that of the oceans. Preventing it from becoming part of the already existing ‘Plastic Soup’, Soul Surfers Foundation puts effort into giving the plastic a second life while offering jobs to local people and providing educational experiences for youth.
