    17 Global Objectives, seeks to contribute to enable the Public School Students of<br />
    Montenegro to:<br />
    • Intervene in the reality that surrounds them;<br />
    • Minimize the environmental impacts caused by the inadequate management of municipal<br />
    solid waste in the Municipality;<br />
    • Create in the children an audience of Multipliers, so that they take home examples of<br />
    citizenship and respect for nature, contributing to the proper disposal of waste.<br />
    • To promote in children a conscience capable of observing and analyzing facts and<br />
    situations of all types of garbage from the environmental point of view, in a critical way,<br />
    recognizing the need and opportunities to act in a proactive manner, to guarantee a healthy<br />
    environment and good quality of life;<br />
    • Understand reality by seeking solutions to social issues, making it possible to take a<br />
    position on fundamental and urgent problems of social life;<br />
    • Modifying students&#39; personal attitudes and practices through the use of knowledge about<br />
    the environment, adopting postures at work, at home and in their community that lead to<br />
    constructive interactions in society;<br />
    • Establish programs and actions of Environmental Education by raising the awareness of<br />
    the resident population about their social and environmental responsibility;<br />
