SANTIAGO – Sam, the four-legged superhero, works to keep a park in Chile’s capital clean and green. The border collie, who takes regular walks in Santiago’s metropolitan park with his owner, has become famous wearing a green cape in a comic used as an educational guide. ADVERTISEMENTIt all started when Sam and Gonzalo Chiang had to stop again and again in the city’s largest green area to pick up plastic bottles, masks, cans and food packages. “On Sam’s walks we began to find a lot of garbage,” Chiang said in an interview. Sam and Gonzalo “have inspired us to accelerate this education process and structure this garbage classification,” said Eduardo Villalobos, the park’s acting director.
