This project hopes to contribute to the care of the environment and promote a more sustainable way of life in the Araucanía Region, and has brought together the Municipality of Temuco and Entel, whose representatives have signed a collaboration agreement to distribute free of charge around 20 thousand reusable bags in various summer activities in the city.
The project - to which the cities of Rancagua and Puerto Montt will also join - aims to reduce the use of plastic bags by people and to raise awareness of the damage that their indiscriminate use can cause to the environment.
“This project allows us to raise awareness about the effect that plastic bags have on the environment. We all want to take care of the environment and protect the beauty of Temuco, in addition to feeling part of an initiative like this. We will continue working to educate regarding this issue and try to reduce the use of plastic bags in our city. For this very reason, joint efforts between the Municipality and private enterprise are necessary”, said Mayor Miguel Becker.
The mayor was joined by Katherine Martorell, Entel’s Director of Sustainability and Communities, who explained: “This project is part of the company’s sustainability strategy, especially in terms of caring for the environment. Our desire is to connect Chileans with the care of the environment and to be part of the public-private efforts to achieve it”.
Throughout the summer of 2017, approximately 80 thousand reusable bags will be distributed in the cities of Temuco, Rancagua and Puerto Montt, as well as Valdivia, Villarrica and Iquique.
This project began during the first half of 2016, when more than 50 thousand bags were distributed in the cities of La Serena, Coquimbo and Puerto Varas.
