San Juan takes advantage of the summer season to raise awareness

Taking advantage of the summer season, the Ministry of Human Development of San Juan promoted an initiative called “Protectors of the environment”, which aims to convey the importance of caring for the environment to the children who will participate in the summer colonies during January and February.
To this end, specialists from the Ministry of Environment of the Directorates of Environmental Education and Urban Solid Waste trained those responsible for each group of the colonies. Among the contents taught, the following topics were dealt with: Introduction to a definition of environment; Circular economy; Mission Good Environment; Waste, differences between garbage and waste, and classification.
In addition, the Ministry of Environment installed containers in the colonies for the classification of waste, and about 50 specialists will visit each of the sites to give awareness talks about separation of waste at source, the responsible pet ownership program “Accompany me” and poaching. In turn, these talks will have themes specific to each area, according to the problems affecting each particular community.
