Análise do contributo da Educação ambiental na gestão de resíduos sólidos no Bairro de Magoanine “C” do Município de Maputo

Abstract

This academic internship report was prepared as part of the activities carried out at DMGRSUS, located in the city of Maputo, Avenue - Fernão Magalhães no 1252. The objective of this report is to analyze the contribution of environmental education to solid waste management in the neighborhood of Magoanine "C", the Municipality of Maputo. The internship lasted three months, in which activities such as municipal sweeping, public removal, visit to the municipal wastebasket, exhibition and environmental awareness lecture at the book fair, participation in the beach cleaning campaign on the Costa do Sol, participation in the campaign of cleaning and civic education in the wholesale market Annex of Zimpeto and finally, participation of the lecture of education and environmental awareness in the ISARC. It is concluded that the internship institution has done little for environmental education in neighborhoods where there have been several problems in the management of solid waste, and it is verified that the residents are not properly aware of the solid waste management. Environmental education is the most appropriate instrument for building a society whose social values are based on the conservation principles of its environment and that awareness of all citizens is only possible if there is an environmental education program in the neighborhoods. In this sense, it is recommended to create routine environmental education campaigns in the neighborhoods to raise awareness among residents, so that they can participate actively in solid waste management.
