Goal number four addresses quality education and affirms that inclusive and equitable education should be ensured in order to promote lifelong learning opportunities for all. In this sense, didactic materials produced with the purpose of scientifically disseminating the composting technique can subsidize the development of this
knowledge, since they can be used as teaching-learning tools as well as scientific
dissemination in non-formal education sites.
The SDG number 11 assumes that by 2030 the negative environmental impact
per capita of cities will be reduced, including paying special attention to air quality,
municipal and other resources management (UNDP 2015).
Thus, communities and their dynamics, such as decision-making, governance,
planning, conflict resolution, alternative communities, healthy communities, inclusive communities, Eco-villages, transition cities, sustainable food, sustainable and
resilient buildings and territorial planning are important in the discussions around
SDG 11 (UNESCO 2017).
Considering this scenario, composting biotechnology appears as an important
alternative for the sustainable application of organic waste and is also a way of
training for young people and adults, generating jobs in areas where they can be
applied, as well as diverting organic waste to a new utility, making the city more
sustainable. Therefore, the dissemination of this practice and its methodologies is
fundamental so that knowledge has greater reach in society.
4 Scientific Dissemination and Environmental Education:
Contributions to a Culture of Change
Scientific dissemination is the activity of transforming scientific language into everyday language for a specific audience (Baalbaki 2014). For this author, it is an indispensable tool for the construction and consolidation of democracy and citizenship.
Thus, democracy would only become possible through the understanding of science
throughout society. In this way, disclosure would have the role of complementing
formal education, and would thus take the place of an instrument for the democratization of education, since it proposes to bring scientific and technological innovations
to society.
In Brazil, the strengthening of the solid waste legal remark was achieved with
the institution of its regulatory framework, through the promulgation of Law nº
12.305/2010, known as the National Policy on Solid Waste—NPSW (BRASIL 2010).
The NPSW discusses the principles, objectives, and instruments, as well as guidelines
for integrated and solid waste management oriented towards to the generators, and
public authorities’ responsibilities and applicable economic instruments. Within this
context, sustainable alternatives for the valorization of organic solid waste are still
incipient, so that biotechnological solutions such as the composting technique appear
as a way of valuing these organic wastes, which still end up being disposed off without
proper attention.
