A campaign named "REDUCE" was launched in December in the Menéndez Pelayo Secondary School of Getafe (Madrid), in order to raise awareness in the educational community on the meaning and importance of reducing waste. The idea is to promote concrete actions on different ways to reduce waste.

On the Community Action Day, the teachers arrived at the center wearing yellow vests and chanting the slogan "This cannot continue like this". During the recess, they surprised everyone by playing music from the roof top. When the students looked at the roof, the professors displayed a large canvas with the slogan ‘REDUCE’. Students, teachers and families participated in identifying what should be improved in the schools.

Moreover, from the 22nd of November to the 7th of December, plastic garbage was gathered. A total of two bags of 100 litres of pressed “yellow” garbage was collected.
