O uso consciente de resíduos sólidos em duas escolas do município de Santarém-PA

Abstract

There is a constant concern with environmental education in general, even more so in an increasingly consumer-friendly and unconcerned society with the disposal of its waste in suitable places. We talk about the lack of commitment to the environment and why not say lack of education as well. In this context we begin to worry first of all about the future of the next generations who grow up observing and acquiring these habits and behaviors, it is then up to the school to try to alleviate this situation through its projects, motivating students to realize that through their own much practice can be changed. This work had the purpose of probing the students to understand how the theme of solid waste in their schools is developed, what their practices and experiences in the school environment. The methodology was based on bibliographical and research questions, with 17 (seventeen) questions directed only at 50 (fifty) students of each school, asking for their opinions on the subject in question, applied in the two schools field of research: EMEIEF São Miguel, in the plateau / Region of Ituqui and, EMEIEF São Pedro, rivers / Arapiuns. It was possible to see with this questionnaire that both schools still need a more serene look at the conscious use of solid waste, their treatment practices need small adjustments, and these do not depend only on institutions, nor students, it also depends public authorities and community leaders in setting goals and actions with an emphasis on this issue. Only with the joint action of public power, school, parents and community can we effectively have efficiency in the conscious use of solid waste.
