Councilors Plácida Gómez and Tomás Ureña have represented the municipality in the presentation made in Murcia
Ecovidrio, the non-profit organization responsible for the management of the recycling of glass container waste deposited in containers throughout Spain, and the Government of the Region of Murcia, with the collaboration of the Basketball Federation of the Region of Murcia, and the participation of the City Council of Mazarrón, have launched a new campaign that seeks to relate healthy lifestyle habits, such as sports, with other healthy habits for our planet, such as glass recycling.
The objective of this initiative is to increase the amounts of glass containers that are collected in the igloos, raising awareness of the importance of recycling, while promoting the practice of basketball and the values ​​that this sport has associated such as companionship, Collaboration and teamwork.
To achieve this, Ecovidrio and the Autonomous Community have devised a campaign that will take place in the 12 most populous municipalities in the Region from today until next December and will consist of the distribution of five original igloos in the form of a basketball on a rotating basis in the most central areas of three municipalities each week.
In Mazarrón the igloos will be enabled from November 11 to 17 in the Plaza del Convento and the Mazarrón school and institute area, Plaza Toneleros and the Autonomous Communities square in Puerto and entrance to Bolnuevo.
At the end of the campaign, the municipality that has collected more glass containers in these particular igloos and has spread the campaign better, will be rewarded with the reform of one of its municipal tracks with recycled glass material, the first of these characteristics that will be in the region.
Basketball is a sport where teamwork, coexistence and solidarity are fundamental.
These are values ​​shared by recycling, where only among all of us can we preserve the environment and save the planet.
The campaign was presented this morning in Murcia, by the Minister of Water, Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Environment, Antonio Luengo Zapata, the President of the Basketball Federation of the Region of Murcia, Juan Carlos Hernández González, and the Manager from the Ecovidrio Zone, Roberto Fuentes Catalán, who have been accompanied by the Councilor for the Environment, Plácida Gómez, and the Councilor for Services, Tomás Ureña;
along with other representatives of the 11 participating municipalities.
During the next weeks, this campaign that starts in the city of Murcia, will be extended to the municipalities of Cartagena, Lorca, Molina de Segura, Alcantarilla, Torre Pacheco, Águilas, Cieza, Yecla, San Javier, Totana and Mazarrón.
As the final touch of the campaign and once the works of the winning track are finished, in December the presentation of the awarded municipality will be carried out, as well as the renovated track with recycled glass containers.
