On Wednesday, December 16, 2020, Estuario began the delivery of awards to those participating businesses on Calle Loíza who are willing and committed to the environment and water resources. These are part of the project Que no toque el piso ni llegue al agua; an initiative to improve the management of solid waste organized in close collaboration with Taller Comunidad La Goyco and Comité Machuchal Limpio.
This recognition highlights actions in favor of the environment in the daily management of shops located throughout Calle Loíza. Among them, there’s education to the public, filtered water, diversion and/or handling of materials, does not use disposable materials, use of crockery and/or compostable materials, oil recycling, and use of eco-friendly products and responsible cleaning.
Estuario thanks the artist and neighbor Yolanda Velazquez, for the art and visual design of this campaign, and the neighbor, cultural manager and community liaison for the project, Iliana García, for her commitment and performance in the community of Machuchal and Calle Loíza. We also thank the following businesses for their support in hosting this initiative:
To all our neighbors, collaborators, and visitors, we invite you to seek these awards in the participating establishments.
We take this opportunity to thank additional collaborators through Calle Loíza, including the security guards of La Goyco (Nilda, Carmen and Wanda), the neighbor and collaborator keeping the streets and sewers clean and free of solid waste (Shorty), the neighbor and collaborator in the initiative of diversion and correct management of used cooking oil in Ferretería Madrid (Benny Benítez) and the Segarra Boerman Foundation for their support in this project.
