URBAN WASTE MANAGEMENT Let's start closely!!!!! Our Scool  is becoming increasingly a "fully sustainable and inclusive" school, in strong synergy with other local actors who act to achieve the same goal:  To enhance the involvement of young people towards the care and respect for the environment and to promote respect for each other and the Earth.
