Within the scope of the European Week for the Prevention of Waste, which took place between 21 and 29 November 2020, all the partners schools joined to this initiative that occurred in EB António Correia de Oliveira.  

All partners attended an online lecture via etwinning, promoting the theme guided by the Environmental Center of Esposende. The central theme of this initiative is “Invisible Waste”, with the objective of alerting to the great amount of waste generated in our daily lives. In the sessions addressed to students, the theme of waste separation was addressed.

Information was given on the separation of waste in the Esposende and the various initiatives that the City Council will continue to implement practice for the Portuguese municipality of the partner school to separate and recycle more and more paper, cardboard, packaging plastic and metal, glass, batteries, cooking oils, electrical equipment, appliances and clothing.

The various initiatives for organic and other undifferentiated waste were also addressed.

Students learned that the waste sent to the local Resulima landfill, only 10% is waste that is separated by people for recycling and that this is a problem that concerns everyone.

With this initiative, we will continue to warn about the problem of climate change and help in making decisions about how we consume and be aware of the raise awareness about our ecological footprint.
