Enviroment: it is not safe and sound!

Luzimar Paiva

Even though Braslia has been built as a modern city, we had a gap of helping the environment.
In 2014 the city government lauched a selective garbage collection program, but it doidnt work
properly. Some citizens are trying to do the best, e.g. less water requiring cleaning products
usage or searching for products and solutions ehich are environmentally friendly and low energy
consumption.

Perhaps nowadays the city government has to develop a global program that can reach all
people. At the beginning, it will be the environmental education. Children and their parents
would be the first in the list and school would be the best place to star it.

Maybe we could try a monetary policy strategy like what was done when Brazils National
Disarmament Statute was launched. To whom which are deprived, we could pay for garbage
that is delivered separately. In
the other hand, we could make
real deals with entrepreneurs
for establishing a reverse
logistics. I think this could
improve the waste collection
and recycling.

But in fact, there is a Brazilian

Act about waste and its
manegement!
Law
No.
12,305/2010.
2010!
Unfortunately there is still a
long way to achieving an ideal
situation with regard to the
environment here in Braslia!
