Key Results

Se llegó a más de 200 personas en ambas localidades a través de talleres sobre la gestión de residuos sólidos y eventos lúdicos de recuperación de materiales reciclables. Asimismo, se recuperaron 1,1 toneladas de residuos reciclables entre el Reciclatón en Lago Agrio y el Plogging comunitario de residuos sólidos en Pampanal de Bolívar. Gracias a estos residuos, se evitaron la emisión de 1,8 toneladas de CO2-eq.
