The video also describes the situation in the City of Pucallpa and the City of Carhuaz comparing two projects with different development levels. The City of Pucallpa starts from a terrible situation in which people not only live in the midst of waste but make a living from waste while the City of Carhuaz has a project that was well implemented from the beginning.

Subject: Environmental Awareness

Subject: Using excrement to create gas
