The Poble Nou de Benitatxell takes advantage of the most massive events of the festivities in honor of Santa María Magdalena to raise public awareness of the importance of recycling, separating waste and caring for the planet.
The team of environmental educators has sensitized the population about the proper management of waste and the benefits of recycling. Specifically, the workshop Sustainable gastronomy It has had a XL format roulette and panels that simulated traditional dishes of Valencian cuisine where the fractions of waste generated during the preparation, preparation and social consumption of these typical dishes were clearly identified, making it known in a simple way the separation of each of these fractions in their corresponding containers.
For the Councilor for Ecology, Jorge Pascual, with these workshops included in the Blue Flag Environmental Education Campaign, "It has been demonstrated once again that eating and having fun are not at odds with recycling and that all times are ideal for learning new habits when it comes to recycling".
Recyclable cups
Remember that the Department of Festivities by Mayte Roldan and the Department of Equality, Gender and Diversity Policies, by Victor Bisquert, are also committed to recycling and sustainability. They have stamped the motto 'No es no, from festa sense agressions', in 400 recyclable cups.
The system, which allows the recycling of plastic, also reduces urban waste and cleaning costs. Until now it was usual that in the nights of orchestra or events where a festive bar is mounted the floor would end up full of glasses.
Now, when the neighbors pay their first drink, they will pay one euro for the plastic cup. When they return to the bar, the same glass will be refilled. And so, in the following days.
