Abstract

The present work is a qualitative documental research that studies the topic of environmental education as a response to the current issue of improper solid waste management. A Zero Waste program is proposed to reduce to a minimum waste generation as well as the implementation of educational strategies to teach environmental awareness and sensibility and thus, have a positive effect on consumption habits. A Mexican case is analyzed that seeks to achieve a circular economy through the implementation of a Base Zero waste management program in Mexico City, in order to identify the actions that are being taken and the progress that has been made to have a better waste management.
