Leave the sand, take out your trash!
On April 22nd the planet day is celebrated and on this day millions of people manifest their commitment to the preservation of the environment and the Earth’s sustainability. This is a simple commitment to fight one of the greatest scourges that plague the environment… plastic waste. When you go to the beach, commit, leave the sand and take your trash!

Roupa velha, vida nova
A Ultriplo Lda é uma empresa portuguesa com sede em Braga. Tem como conceito a política dos 3R’s: Reduzir, Reutilizar e Reciclar, entendendo como fundamental a proteção ambiental e o desenvolvimento sustentável. A empresa, que foi fundada no ano de 2005, tem uma equipa com cerca de 70 funcionários e recolhe cerca de 500 000 quilos de vestuário por mês para ser selecionado e tratado, evitando que o destino desta roupa seja o depósito em aterros, sem valorização energética.

Eating well versus Responsible Consumption
Responsible food consumption means Respect towards food, based not only on the balance of different nutrients and components we choose but also on avoiding waste.
It involves not taking more than we can eat, not purchasing more than we will consume as well as reusing our kitchen leftovers. Earth’s resources are finite and taking care of them is a daily mission; the 5Rs should become part of everyone’s routine.

(Ir)responsible Food Consumption – An individual choice
Our time is coming to an end. In New York, the Climate Clock predicts we only have 7 years left to change our behaviour and adopt environmentally friendly measures to prevent some effects of global warming from becoming irreversible. In the Ocean, the “Garbage patches” are vivid physical representation of our urban wastes and, in some of these “islands”, around 40 percent of the waste comes from the Fast Food industry. Moreover, regarding the United Nations interlinked Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), reducing food loss and waste is critical to creating a Zero Hunger World and reach a Sustainable Development. Bearing these factors in mind, the YRE from Portugal and Slovenia have conducted a comprehensive study on Fast food and Food responsible consumption.
