I did this project because we had to do a made-up sustainable business in my Social Studies class, and it had to be a part of Paraguay. I found the landmark, the Saltos del Monday, and wanted to create a way to help with the environment and the water in the Saltos.

I don't know if it turned out working/being well because the point of the project in the Social Studies class was not actually to do the business, it was to create and plan it. But, if I were to actually make/start it, it would work because my sustainable business was that I set up a table, a cash register, and a pop-up canopy at every entrance to the Saltos del Monday (there are two), and there would be two people working per entrance, and I would have entrance fees. Locals had to pay 10 mil per person, visitors had to pay 30 mil per person, and the staff and their families had to pay two mil per person to enter. I use the money that I collect to help the environment and wildlife. My team and I do that by going to some farms nearby and asking them not to use chemicals and pesticides on their crops because when they water them or it rains, they enter streams and rivers and then later flow towards the Saltos del Monday. If the farmers agree, we will give them some money to get them started on other ways of keeping their crops healthy. If they continue to use the chemicals, they can make an irrigation system or a barrier around their farm so nothing flows into the rivers. If they disagree, that is fine because many more farmers will say yes! I will also use the money to help clean up some trash that we find near the Saltos, and to help the people and wildlife that use and drink the water.
