Students from our Agenda 2030 team participated in the Municipal Environment Forum held yesterday, 17 November, at the Muskiz Cultural Centre and chaired by Ainara Leiba, Mayor of Muskiz, Javier García, Councillor for the Environment, and Eder Sánchez, Environment Technician.

This forum has served as a welcome to all the people participating in the school Agenda 2030 programme this year, and in it, our students have been able to present the theme we will work throughout the year, SDG 15 – “Life of terrestrial ecosystems” and the phase of the project in which we are currently, a phase of motivation and search for the involvement of the entire educational community of Somorrostro.

The forum also served to review the status of the commitments and requests made at last year’s forum. We were able to learn that a map is being drawn up with all the selected waste collection points: batteries, fluorescent bulbs, plastic, glass, … and how it is intended to place more containers in areas where more waste is generated, such as school playgrounds. They also mentioned the continuous work on facilitating and promoting the purchase of local products.
