"Municipalities and companies have an important role in achieving carbon neutrality. In this sense, projects like i4efficiency are a key tool to achieve it, promoting, on the one hand, the reduction of energy consumption, while promoting the composting of organic waste, so important to reduce waste and improve the quality of our soils. By encouraging the participation of the municipalities in this process we are also developing an active citizenship, increasingly fundamental on the path to sustainable development."
