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' 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 />
• Multiply information for communities, families and their environment;
