“My name is Daniel Rodrigues, I’m an environmental educator here at Baixo Pirajussara, New Pinheiros River Program. Among the educational and environmental awareness activities we develop, there’s a cool environmental awareness workshop we have with the kids, where we try to reuse recyclables to show the kids that we can transform something that would be discarded into a new object, into a toy; that kids can have fun and develop an environmental awareness by reusing these materials. It’s quite rewarding when we realize kids are learning and not just doing things. There’s an awareness work developed with them previously, ‘cause if we reach the kids we can reach their parents, and then the community more broadly. Children like the workshops a lot – they enjoy learning, getting their hands dirty, and they develop an environmental awareness that will be very important for their future.”
