Our Own House
Punta Gorda Town, or PG as the locals call it, is in the southernmost region of Belize surrounded by some of the richest natural environments in Central America. It’s a small town so remote people remember a time of unpaved roads and no plastics in sight. Yet, in just over a decade, plastics have sprung up everywhere and the otherwise carefree existence in Punta Gorda is threatened. Our Own House is a portrait of a community coming to grips with the reality of managing plastic in one of the most remote towns in the world.
