What you can do - Join a compost tour or training led by waste-picker leaders in the São Paulo metro area. - Start or support a neighbourhood compost point that partners with local catadoras/es. Why it matters Organic diversion cuts methane from landfills while keeping recycler cooperatives at the centre of the system, not at its margins.

Invite SENAI to map energy savings on your factory floor

Invite SENAI to map energy savings on your factory floor PotencializEE brings SENAI specialists into small and medium industrial plants to find cheaper, cleaner kilowatt-hours. GIZ coordinates with Brazil's Ministry of Mines and Energy. The programme began in São Paulo and now reaches partner states including Minas Gerais, Paraná, Rio Grande do Sul, and Santa Catarina. What you can do - Inscreva sua indústria for a free SENAI pre-diagnosis visit at your plant - Walk the shop floor with the specialist: compressed air, boilers, heat pumps, refrigeration, and motors often hide quick wins - If the pre-diagnosis shows strong potential, take the subsidised deeper diagnosis (about 60% of that step's cost on published pages) and follow credit pathways (FINEP, Desenvolve SP guarantee fund where eligible) - Pass the signup link to neighbouring industrial SMEs in your cluster so the whole district gets leaner together How it works Register online. SENAI contacts eligible industrial SMEs (revenue and headcount caps are on the signup page), schedules a plant visit, and lists concrete savings measures. This pathway is for workplaces, not households. Why it matters Factories that measure and trim energy waste keep more money in the business and put cleaner production on the neighbourhood map.
