Raising awareness about the primary selection of waste is extremely important and the following organizations have joined forces on that task: the Provincial Secretariat for Urban Development and Environment Protection, Provincial Institute for Environment Protection, “Zelenilo”, “Gradska čistoća”, Primary and Secondary School “Milan Petrović“, as well as a number of associations, such as – A cap for a smile (Čepom do osmeha), Engineers of Environment Protection…
Traditionally, the stand of the city Department of Environment Protection at the Fair of Ecology was packed with children, especially those in lower grades of primary school, for whom many workshops were organized.
For example, the Provincial Secretariat for Urban Development and Environment Protection organized presentation such as “Monitoring of non-agricultural land”, “Development Concept and Establishing Sanitary Landfill in Vojvodina – Past, Present and Future” and “Protect the Air – Establish a Landfill”
Those from the A CAP FOR A SMILE association say that between 2,500 and 3,000 children visited their stand. They had around 30 workshops and they made, together with the youngest visitors, 1652 toys using recycled material in the “Master” Hall.
