Sustainability
Problem we address
A produção exorbitada de resíduos domésticos gerados diariamente em nossa sociedade e a falta de estratégias para que cada família e indivíduo possa pro ativamente reduzir o impacto daninho desses materiais na natureza.
Our goal
Fortalecer a aplicação do 5Rs (Reduzir, Reutilizar, Reciclar, Repensar e Recusar), incentivando atitudes conscientes e respeitosas, além de propor soluções práticas a serem aplicadas no dia a dia das famílias, estimulando uma mudança de hábitos em pequena escala, que coletivamente cobrarão força para minimizar os impactos do cambio climático.
Impact
Misinformation is the main cause of the huge amount of waste discarded without recycling at home. “The Planet Thanks” proposes activities that raise awareness among children and adults to cultivate effective and creative practices for reusing materials within their families.
In more than 10 years of activity, the project has reached more than 4,000 children by encouraging the exercise of creative recycling and the reduction of unnecessary consumption, in Europe and Latin America.
