Green wall as a strategy to reduce impacts environmental with recyclable materials in the CAAG

Abstract

Considering the importance of vertical green gardens at an environmental and landscape
level and constantly seeking the implementation of ecological strategies for the Aquaculture
and Agroindustrial Center of Gaira, the strategy of the 3R collection, reuse and recycling is
established through a research project, that seeks the minimization of polluting materials for
the environment such as PET plastic bottles, since it is one of the great problems that are
currently being generated due to their poor disposal. Within the development of this project,
initial parameters of temperature and humidity are taken to the classroom located in the
Environmental Unit of the Center, looking for relevant information that provides a starting point,
later campaigns are carried out for the collection of PET bottles, contests and awareness
within of the apprentices, which allowed generating a greater sense of belonging. Once the
largest number of bottles had been collected, they were cleaned and organized, as well as
the selection of the varieties of ornamental plants typical of the region, and with the help
of instructors from the Center and apprentices, the activities of assembly of a vertical wall,
preparation of the fertilizer for each of the pots, and planting of the plants, observing that in
the experimentation area a thermal comfort began to be felt by the apprentices, visitors and
the Center’s own, in addition to promoting in each of them the importance of recycling and the
proper use of PET-type plastics, the use of vertical gardens
