PROJECT

Maré is located between the three main avenues of Rio and has few green areas, increasing "heat island" formations, which are characterized by high temperatures and air pollution. This situation negatively impacts the quality of life and health of its residents. In this context, Redes da Maré has been developing a series of social and environmental experiences. One of them is the Green Maré project, started in 2018, which aims to develop environmental education and social mobilization activities that involve the school community, residents, waste pickers and the Public Sanitation Company.

  

These activities aim to stimulate reflection on the socio-environmental issues of the territory and to improve these spaces with tree planting efforts. At the end of 2018, 3 workshops and a joint effort were held at João Borges Public School, involving about 70 students and 5 teachers, where 50 seedlings were planted.
