"Act local, think global", the phrase may be cliché but for us, Sintra City Council, it reflects the way we face the sustainability projects we embrace. In Sintra, we have joined forces and started the pilot project in two of the eleven parishes, in an approach that is intended to be integrated and with a careful look at the cities. Thus we begin to tread a new path, of technology in favor of sustainability, of thinking from the first moment of the logistics line to the treatment of final waste, of thinking the daily life of communities in gestures that will certainly improve the future of those who live and work in Sintra, in Portugal, in the World."
"In Sintra we ended up realizing that the environmental transition must be a fair and inclusive environmental transition and also very focused on environmental education."
"The sustainability of a territory lies in its ability to generate synergies and partnerships that enhance its community."
