Moving Towards Zero in Balsareny
Client
Balsareny Town Hall
The Balsareny City Council wanted to promote local commerce and waste reduction through the Move for Zero campaign, and thanks to the financial support of the Barcelona Provincial Council (through its environmental education service catalog), we were able to launch the campaign.
Balsareny is a town of 3,328 inhabitants located in the Bages region. One of its illustrious founders is Pere Casaldàliga, who was a candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize.
