The technicians of this organization offered participants a brief introduction on the Law of 4 rd: reduce, reuse, recycle and recover, and the importance of keeping our environment without waste.
Each of the groups was then divided into three subgroups to perform the different activities and to rotate for each of them, so that workshops were conducted based on the reuse and recycling of waste and animals such as owls, octopus or dragons From rolls of toilet paper and bracelets were made with plastic bottles and fabrics.
We will also carry out popular games modified to work the recycling culture with the aim, all of this, to raise awareness among minors about the importance of collaborating in the reuse and recycling of waste in order to conserve the environment in which we live.
