Proposal
The metropolitan area of Veracruz is facing more environmental problems every day, most of which are caused by the citizens themselves. However, we still have time to face them and take the initiative to generate a change for our future, move forward as a society, reverse environmental problems and create strategies to help improve them.
In Veracruz there are “green” areas to which no attention is paid, so they do not have adequate maintenance, consequently, these places are not put to good use. In addition, it generates more problems for the environment, welfare and public health. Therefore, it is important to take preventive measures to protect and conserve these areas that can be recreational and improve the future quality of life in this area.
Our objective is to create awareness in the community about the increase of global warming. Likewise, in this state there is a lack of environmental education, we will address how people do not have the culture of separating their waste.
All the waste generated by a single person is deposited in the same garbage container, causing an unfavorable alteration in biodegradable waste. In fact, one of the main causes of this behavior is that it is not important to separate the waste in households, since it will all end up in the same destination.
This is how +Composta was created, identifying the need for a destination to dispose at least organic waste. It is a project that consists of creating compost from organic waste. Its primary mission is the collection and proper management of organic waste, with the firm conviction to promote sustainable practices that encourage love for the environment and the protection of nature.
The process that will be carried out is to promote the separation of organic and inorganic waste, so that +composta will be in charge of collecting the organic waste, a compost will be elaborated and thus the opportunity to generate an important source of nutrients for the plants that exist in the green areas mentioned above, which do not have the required maintenance, thus ensuring that they have a present supplier of organic fertilizer and that they are properly cared for.
Among the sustainable development objectives of this project, we can highlight the reduction of organic waste sent to landfills, through the implementation of collection, separation and waste management programs.
We also seek to raise awareness and promote composting as a friendly and simple environmental practice, to raise community awareness, encourage citizen participation and create a culture of sustainable waste management, among others. Finally, with the advancement of this project, we seek a favorable change in the city’s climate, since, with such high temperatures, we do not take advantage of the benefits that green areas can provide.
In +Composta we aim to promote sustainable and responsible practices to protect and care for the environment, improve the quality of life of the community and contribute to the development of a cleaner, healthier and more sustainable community.
