Answer: The answer is D). Garbage Purchase Program

Explanation: Lack of budget for a standard recycling plant lead Curitiba to initiate the Garbage Exchange Programme where complementary currencies are used to reward people for separating their organic and non-organic recyclable wastes and bringing them to waste stations, where they can be exchanged for bus tickets, food, and school-books.
