Highlighting the important work of educational centers that promote environmental care for the benefit of their community, PERU LNG presented the winners of the first edition of its Environmental Award 2020.
Through a virtual ceremony and the delivery of computer equipment as a prize for each of the selected institutions, the IEP Melchorita Saravia de Chincha was recognized in first place, which presented a project led by students in 5th grade of secondary school. This project consists of transforming organic and recyclable solid waste into bio fertilizer (compost), to then implement bio gardens in the homes of the students, thus addressing the problem behind the management of solid waste and improving the nutrition of their families.
In second place is the IEP Imperial-CNI of Cañete, which developed, together with IEP N° 21508 San Isidro, a proposal to promote the responsible use of water through internal contests, developing the artistic expression and learning skills of the students. They also worked on a project to reuse water from the sinks in the toilets and in the irrigation of green areas in the area.
"At PERU LNG we are proud to disseminate the good practices that are promoted from the educational front, for the care and conservation of our environment. These awards are an important demonstration that the current situation is not an impediment to developing sustainable initiatives that contribute to the development of the community, which is one of our main values," said María Julia Aybar, vice president and general manager of PERU LNG.
It is worth mentioning that the jury for the PERU LNG 2020 Environmental Award was composed of the Local Education Management Unit (UGEL), the mathematical laboratory MatLab Peru and PERU LNG. For more information on the winning projects, go to aquí.
