An Idea of Sustainability Program
Lisbon & Cascais
Sustainability is not a trend of the past, but a characteristic that is here to stay. Our society is becoming more conscious of CO2 emissions from transportation, have a low waste in food production, recycling, having more environmentally friendly activities and so on. United Nations implemented 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) programs that in a nutshell aims to have a more sustainable world with greener practices.
