Supply of Structures, for the seapration of waste in Municipal Schools of the Municipality of Montenegro, in the South of Brazil.

The project contemplated the collection and recovery of waste collected by schools and lectures on Sustainable Development for all participating schools.
To stimulate the practical change of attitudes and the formation of new habits regarding the
use of the natural resources and to favor the reflection on the ethical responsibility of the
human being with the own planet as a whole, offering an efficient instrument for the
formation of the environmental conscience for children and adolescents from public
schools in Montenegro.

17 Global Objectives, seeks to contribute to enable the Public School Students of
Montenegro to:
• Intervene in the reality that surrounds them;
• Minimize the environmental impacts caused by the inadequate management of municipal
solid waste in the Municipality;
• Create in the children an audience of Multipliers, so that they take home examples of
citizenship and respect for nature, contributing to the proper disposal of waste.
• To promote in children a conscience capable of observing and analyzing facts and
situations of all types of garbage from the environmental point of view, in a critical way,
recognizing the need and opportunities to act in a proactive manner, to guarantee a healthy
environment and good quality of life;
• Understand reality by seeking solutions to social issues, making it possible to take a
position on fundamental and urgent problems of social life;
• Modifying students' personal attitudes and practices through the use of knowledge about
the environment, adopting postures at work, at home and in their community that lead to
constructive interactions in society;
