During the months of August to October 2008, CBRL member Clecio Varjão traveled to Brazil to conduct fieldwork and community outreach activities concerning the global waste database. The majority of the recyclers who work in the metropolitan region of São Paulo does not have access to computers and are digitally excluded. Clecio provided a workshop to introduce basic computer skills to a group of recyclers, who are involved with the Participatory Sustainable Waste Management project. His goal was to train the recyclers so that they would become more autonomous in the digital world and could then benefit from using the computer in the administration of the recycling coop network.
