Dentre os diversos problemas ambientais mundiais, a questão do lixo é uma das mais preocupantes. Uma das alternativas para reduzir a carga excessiva de lixo produzido e ainda colaborar para a sustentabilidade urbana é a implantação da coleta seletiva de resíduos recicláveis. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo analisar a percepção de estudantes e servidores do campus do IF Baiano de Governador Mangabeira-Ba, sobre a problemática do lixo comum e eletrônico, e implementar um Programa de Educação Ambiental voltado para coleta seletiva de lixo no local. Entre novembro/2015 e fevereiro/2016 foram aplicados questionários e, no total, 104 pessoas foram entrevistadas. Em janeiro de 2016 as ações voltadas para a implementação do Programa de Educação Ambiental (PEA) foram iniciadas, com a instalação de lixeiras, distribuição de cartazes e realização de palestras nas salas de aula, para sensibilização da comunidade. Cerca 80% dos estudantes e 52,3% dos servidores informaram que não realizam coleta seletiva, não reciclam nem reutilizam o lixo de suas residências. 95% dos estudantes e 81,1% dos servidores afirmaram que não existem pontos de coleta de e-lixo nas suas cidades. Foi possível verificar que a comunidade do campus tem consciência sobre a importância da coleta seletiva, da reciclagem e reutilização do lixo comum e eletrônico. No entanto, a grande maioria não realiza a coleta seletiva em suas casas, e isso se deve principalmente pela falta de locais para a destinação do lixo nos municípios em que residem.   Abstract Among the environmental problems worldwide, the garbage issue is one of the most worrying. One of the alternatives to reduce the excessive load of waste produced and contribute to urban sustainability is the implementation of selective recyclable waste collection. This study aimed to analyze the perception of students and civil servants from IF Baiano, campus Governador Mangabeira-Ba, on the common and electronic waste issue. It also intended to implement an Environmental Education Program aiming at selective local garbage collection. From November/ 2015 to February/2016, we interviewed 104 people by applying some questionnaires. In January 2016, actions aimed at implementing the Environmental Education Program (PEA) were initiated, with the installation of trash bins, distribution of posters and lectures in the classrooms, to raise awareness in the community. Approximately 80% of students and 52.3% of employees reported that they do not carry out selective collection, do not recycle or reuse the garbage in their homes. 95% of students and 81.1% of servers stated that there are no e-waste collection points in their cities. It was observed that the campus community is aware of the importance of selective collection, recycling and reuse of common and electronic waste. However, most of the survey panel do not carry out selective collection in their homes due to the lack of appropriate waste disposal places in the communities they live.   Keywords: Solid waste, Environmental education, Selective collect.

The effectiveness of e-waste collection depends on organizational and social factors. Individuals should have easy access to collection points and be aware of proper methods of e-waste disposal. This article investigates the availability, usability, and occurring irregularities of the container collection of small-waste electrical and electronic equipment. The study explores the attitude and behavior of individuals when disposing of small-waste equipment in the South of Poland. The results show that ninety-five percent of supermarkets’ managers responsible for waste management find a growing interest in the disposal of small e-waste by individuals. An increasing number of collection containers encourages residents to dispose of small-waste appliances. More than eighty-three percent of respondents are aware of proper methods of e-waste disposal. Additional information campaigns addressed to residents are required to prevent mixing electrical and electronic waste with other waste and to encourage the disposal of small e-waste. The intention to dispose of small e-waste was declared by only thirty-two percent of respondents. Containers with discarded easy breakable items, such as lamps, should be removed more frequently. The collection containers’ noticeability is evaluated by individuals as of average difficulty. The containers in supermarkets have simple designs and labels indicating the category of waste for disposal. The containers installed in residential areas have attractive designs and advertising slogans. The individuals expect the containers should be available in more locations that are easily accessible from households. The results of this study should be helpful for local authorities, waste collection companies, and waste electrical and electronic organizations, to support design, location selection, and information campaigns for small e-waste container collections.

Reduction Of Co2

Efficient electronic waste (e-waste) management is one of the vital strategies to save materials, including critical minerals and precious metals with limited global reserves. The e-waste collection issue has gained increasing attention in recent years, especially in developing countries, due to low collection rates. This study aims to search for progressive solutions in the e-waste collection sphere with close-to-zero transport and infrastructure costs and the minimization of consumers’ efforts towards an enhanced e-waste management efficiency and collection rate. Along these lines, the present paper develops a smart reverse system of e-waste from end-of-life electronics holders to local recycling infrastructures based on intelligent information technology (IT) tools involving local delivery services to collect e-waste and connecting with interactive online maps of users’ requests. This system considers the vehicles of local delivery services as potential mobile collection points that collect and deliver e-waste to a local recycling enterprise with a minimum deviation from the planned routes. Besides e-waste transport and infrastructure costs minimization, the proposed smart e-waste reverse system supports the reduction of CO2 through the optimal deployment of e-waste collection vehicles. The present study also advances a solid rationale for involving local e-waste operators as key stakeholders of the smart e-waste reverse system. Deploying the business model canvas (BMC) toolkit, a business model of the developed system has been built for the case of Sumy city, Ukraine, and discussed in light of recent studies.

Interdisciplinary Study

In 1975, the United Nations, under the auspices of its Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and Environment Program (UNEP), established the International Environmental Education Program (IEEP). For two decades, IEEP aimed to accomplish goals ascribed to it by UNESCO member states and fostered communication across the international community through Connect, the UNESCO-UNEP environmental education newsletter. After reviewing UNESCO’s early involvement with the environment, this study examines IEEP’s development, beginning with its conceptual grounding in the 1968 UNESCO Biosphere Conference. It examines the 1972 United Nations Conference on the Human Environment held in Stockholm, moves on to the UNESCO-UNEP 1975 Belgrade Workshop, and continues with the world’s first intergovernmental conference dedicated to environmental education held in Tbilisi in 1977. The paper then uses Connect to trace changes in the form and content of environmental education. Across two decades, environmental education shifted from providing instruction about nature protection and natural resource conservation to fostering an environmental ethic through a problems-based, interdisciplinary study of the ecology of the total environment to adopting the concept of sustainable development. IEEP ultimately met with mixed success. Yet it was the primary United Nations program assigned the task of creating and implementing environmental education globally and thus offers a particularly useful lens through which to analyze changes in the international community’s understanding of the concept of the environment over time.

Proper Disposal

Background: With advent of advancement in technologies and change in people’s life style, the amount of E-waste (electronic waste) generated is increasing drastically every year, Mismanagement of these E-waste leads to diminishing natural resources, causing irreparable damage to the environment and health of the people. When it comes to the reduction, the onus is on both the consumer and the producer. Proper awareness on the health hazards and disposal practice of E waste plays a crucial role in curbing this problem. The objectives of the study were to assess the E-waste segregation and disposal practice at various levels and to assess the knowledge about Proper disposal and health hazards of E-waste. Methods: A community based crossed sectional study was conducted among 120 randomly selected individuals (distribution, consumer and waste collection level) for a period of three months in the urban field practice area of Bangalore Medical College & Research Institute. Data regarding their knowledge and practice on E-waste disposal and its hazards has been collected using semi structured questionnaire and analysed using SPSS 23.0. Results: Knowledge about disposal was found to be 20%, 15% and 5% respectively at distribution, consumer and waste collector levels. Only around 6% had practiced proper waste segregation. Knowledge pertaining to health hazards were found to be negligible. Conclusions: With the increased burden the knowledge and practice were found to be highly inadequate. And it is a high time to intervene at the earliest by creating proper awareness and providing the requisite for proper disposal of E waste.
