| Description of the project | The goal of Pet-Questions is to promote recycling and achieve a collective reflection throughout the community, for which the only condition to participate is having Pet-type containers.
Those who wish to participate in Pet-Questions will face a question of common interest and two recipients that are the answer options. There, with the democratic possibility of exercising their right to vote and willingness to contribute to the urban ecology of their city, the inhabitants of the city must deposit Pet bottles in the place of their closed answer, (yes or no). This ecological initiative, participatory and educational, also seeks to alleviate the work of the recyclers of a city in which each of them, can lift up to 75 kilos of recoverable or recyclable material daily. Therefore, these operators will be in charge of weekly collection of plastic bottles that citizens will deposit in these containers through the initiative Pet-Question. The results are measured depending on the number of pet products deposited in these containers. The Pet Questions project is developed between the Ministry of Culture and the Municipal company “Public Companies of Medellin”, that provide public services such as electricity, natural gas, water and telecommunications. Initially, the strategy is carried out in different parks, city center, and crowded areas. |
