tree planting process The Urban Tree Planting Programme is the operational form of the Master Plan and it has seven lines of action: 1-Protecting urban water courses and springs; 2-planting trees in open spaces; 3- Planting trees down the middle of wide avenues, 4-Planting Trees in the City’s parks; 5-Planting Trees in instructional areas; 6- Providing Environmental Education; 7Protecting existing trees. On September 21, 2010, the Environment and Urban Planning Department inaugurated its nursery garden with a production capacity of one million tree seedlings a year and in that same year it launched its Via Verde (Green Way) Project with a Specific Objective of 10 thousand trees planted in public parks by the end of 2011. Municipal Solid Waste Policy Objective: Promote the integrated administration and management of solid waste including hazardous waste, defining responsibilities of those that generate it and of the government authorities. Project start date: The first actions of a pilot project of selective waste collection began in 2006 in collaboration with companies, supermarkets, re-cycling entities like the waste pickers cooperative, the institution of the Municipal Committee for monitoring the Recycling Programme for selectively collected waste. In 2010, two eco-points for selective collection were implanted and selective collection was introduced in municipal schools. In 2011 the process was begun of elaborating directives of the Municipal Solid Waste Policy. Link to the Footprint: reduction of areas used to dump solid waste, improved quality of life for residents. Specific Objectives: • By 2012: three more eco-points implanted; 30 voluntary delivery points implanted; selective collection implanted in 30 schools; •
By 2013: door to door selective collection implanted in 60% of the municipal area.
