A questão do lixo e os impactos socioambientais em carmolândia-to

Abstract

The world, in its society-nature relations, is defined by many problems, arising from the most diverse causes. Garbage is a problem that urgently needs to be considered by government officials and the population in general, due to the socio-environmental impacts caused. With the growth of urbanization, population and consumption, there is an increase in solid waste across the planet. The spatial focus of this research was the municipality of Carmolândia-TO, which has an open pit dump, in addition to other socio-environmental impacts. The general objective of the work was to identify the socio-environmental problems caused by garbage in the city of Carmolândia, Tocantins, emphasizing ways to revert the current situation, through awareness and new attitudes with the produced garbage. The methodological procedures adopted were: bibliographic and documentary research in research bases and official bodies and data collection through empirical knowledge and experiences about the place of study. With the analysis of the results, it was realized the need to build a landfill in Carmolândia-TO, as well as initiatives that promote awareness of the general population for reduction, reuse, recycling of solid waste and disposal in selective collection dumps. In Carmolândia-TO, trees still need to be planted in squares and roads in the city, measures must be adopted to prevent and combat fires, and there must be a commitment to remove tall grass and debris. With the responsibility of the city hall and awareness of the population, it is believed that good society- nature relations will be built.
