Environmental Dilemmas, Innovation and EducationAbstract
Inorganic waste, especially bottles and plastic, is a significant environmental problem. On April 26-27 2024, we implemented an innovative and educational program at the Vita Dulcedo Orphanage to overcome this challenge. This study evaluates the effectiveness of the approach applied in reducing the impact of waste on the environment and increasing awareness of orphanage residents regarding non-organic waste management. The results show that the combination of innovation and educational programs has succeeded in changing residents' behavior in managing non-organic waste. This activity also shows how simple technology can be applied in a small community environment with the right support. Awareness of children and orphanage staff regarding the importance of recycling and waste segregation has increased significantly, reflecting the success of an approach that combines hands-on practice with interactive education.
