ESTRATÉGIA DE REDUÇÃO DE RESÍDUOS SÓLIDOS NO CONTEXTO ESCOLAR

The topic addressed emerges as a fundamental strategy for reducing waste in the school context. By integrating the theme into the curriculum, it is possible to bring about a cultural shift, transforming the school into a place of practice and reflection. Activities such as diagnosing generated waste, composting, reuse workshops, and conscious consumption campaigns involve the pedagogical environment in concrete actions. This approach not only reduces the volume of waste destined for landfills but also develops good practices for environmental citizenship in students. The school, as the entity responsible for spreading and teaching good habits, amplifies the impact of actions, forming individuals who are more attentive to detail and more responsible, capable of adopting habits of care for the environment beyond the institution's walls. Proper waste management, combined with education, is the basis for building societies that are in harmony with nature and that care for it, providing well-being for it and for humanity.
