Diseño de una campaña para la reducción de residuos sólidos en la comunidad educativa Sixto Liborio Macías

Abstract

Abstract: This research was conducted at the "Sixto Liborio Macias" Educational Unit in the Santa Lucia Canton, Guayas Province, with the theme "Design of a campaign for solid waste reduction." To identify the problem, a survey was conducted using the statistical process, selecting 48 high school students, 8 teachers, and 10 parents. The research revealed improper solid waste management in the institution due to a lack of containers and receptacles for proper classification according to the type of disposable material. To address this issue, school authorities and the parent-teacher committee convened to highlight the urgent needs for this purpose. The parent-teacher committee undertook self-management to acquire containers and make them available to the educational community. Before using the containers and receptacles, an awareness campaign called "No More Garbage" was conducted, along with an environmental education campaign to teach students how to classify different types of disposable materials and those suitable for recycling.
