Setúbal utility reaches 3,500 children with environmental campaign

Setúbal's municipal services (SMS) say over 3,500 children and young people took part in environmental awareness activities during the first half of 2026, under the programme "Consciência Ambiental em Ação". Sessions covered tap water use, waste separation, biowaste recovery, sewage network protection and the circular economy, delivered through school programmes, door-to-door campaigns, workshops and municipal event stands. A musical theatre piece about sewage misuse toured 12 schools this year and is set to expand to all schools in the municipality next year. The initiative relies on partners including ENA, APRH, Ecos and Sophiplant, and will continue with new actions in the second half of the year.
