Ações propostas sobre o uso racional do papel em uma escola particular de Marabá

Abstract

The exaggerated consumption of resources, such as paper, by private Educational Institutions contributes to growth in annual expenditures and expansion of solid waste generation. To suggest interventions that provide rational use of paper or that allow the use of new communication tools are still an impediment in current school management, directly reflecting on environmental damage. Solid waste remains a major problem for medium and large cities, even after the National Solid Waste Plan creation by the federal Government, we still face situations that disrespect the environment as a whole. Awareness is necessary in order to allow all people involved into a reflection on the presented theme, and so enable punctual actions against waste. For this work, a qualitative and quantitative survey was carried out on paper consumption of a private school in Marabá town, state of Para,regarding 2017 school year. Based on the data collected was developed a schedule of activities to be applied throughout the school year 2018, which aims to reduce costs with unnecessary use of paper and thus reduce waste production, which will involve students and their staff, as well as all faculty and administrative staff of the school. It is worth emphasizing that the interventions suggested by this work may undergo changes in the course of their implementations, in view of the cultural plurality of those involved.
