Sensitization campaigns

Go Zero Waste designs sensitization campaigns for local councils, focused on waste reduction, responsible consumption, and the circular economy. They aim to generate lasting changes in habits by identifying problems, providing solution guides, challenges, and awards, all aligned with Sustainable Development Goals 11, 12, and 13.

What is an sensitization campaign?

Identify the problem

In the first phase we show the problem and its impact on the environment. 

We created a guide with solutions and best practices

We explain how to approach the problem and how to solve it in simple steps 

Challenges and prizes for participants

We propose challenges and activities to the population to move from sensitization to action

The more people understand the impact of their actions, the less pollution and habitat degradation there will be.

FAQS

It is a strategic communication action designed to transform the relationship between people and their environment. 

We seek to change habits towards ones that are much more sustainable and social. 

The largest group is the citizenry, but we also have an impact on the educational community, the commercial and business fabric, and finally the public administration. 

As part of the campaigns we offer a catalog of practical and educational activities related to the challenges we pose, such as showcooking workshops, educational talks or sustainable shopping routes. 

The various activities are organized in collaboration with local businesses and entities.

We propose challenges related to environmental awareness. For example: zero-waste shopping or food waste reduction.

Each campaign has a fixed price based on its duration, the number of challenges, and the activities included. The shortest campaigns last one month, and the longest last one year.

In many cities, the campaign can be subsidized thanks to the support of  provincial councils  or  intermunicipal associations . For example, in the province of Barcelona, ​​the campaign can be carried out through the   Barcelona Provincial Council’s  Services Catalogue under the Environmental Education category .
