With the objective of promoting collective cleaning through environmental education activities in different parts of the city of Concordia, the Municipality of Concordia, through the Undersecretariat of Environment, is carrying out the “Comenzando por Casa” program. The first experiences were carried out in Benito Legerén and the General Lamadrid neighborhood.
In this regard, the Undersecretary of Environment of the Municipality of Concordia, Constanza Montoreano, commented that the program has the primary objective of “making a cultural change. It is not only about cleaning and sanitizing as we have been doing all year, but about leaving environmental promoters in the institutions and among the residents who are part of the community, regardless of the role each one plays. The commitment must be joint, from us as the State but also from the community”.
“The idea is to plant a seed, so that it is something that grows over time in the different sectors of the city,” citing as an example that “throughout the year we have attended to requests and complaints about micro-landfills and that is where we work together with the residents. They are the main promoters and disseminators of the environmental education that we propose,” for this reason, she reiterated, “participation and commitment are more than important,” pointed out Montoreano.
“Comenzando por Casa” seeks to raise awareness among the residents of the city, not only in caring for the environment through actions but also in the education of the different inhabitants of Concordia.
