ELIZABETH
Baseco, Manila, Philippines · 7 MIN · Philippines
Elizabeth is a widow working as a street sweeper in Baseco, Port Area, Manila. She can't stand seeing trash thrown into the sea — she tells people off for it.
At 68, she collects enough plastic daily to buy rice for her grandchildren. Plastic Bank gave her a push cart, a 35 kg bag of rice as an incentive, and a tablet for her grandson's school.
A curator note — “She's 68. She tells people off for littering. She's right every time.”
