My solution is to create and make an recycable solution, to clean dirty lakes, streams, and slopes all around the country of Honduras. making this clean water for the natives also including a better life for wildlife to. One of my many goals is to stop using chemicals wich are also called *ecofriendly* and such as that with the time will eventually destroy our bio diversity. With the help and cultivation of a several type of plants such as: papiro (Cyperus papyrus) and water mint. They Have shown with the time that it have properties capable of cleaning water. Making this a big solution for current problems all around Central America.

What specific problem are you trying to solve?

As an Honduras native, i have seen how outraigous it is to see these families do their laundry, wash there food, clean themselfs cook with these dirty waters. As the goberment say it is all ok* . more then the 75% of hondurans present deadly deseases from using this dirty waters including the zika insects who are killing our own people fron the bad treatment of these waters, all around the country.
