SOCIAL NETWORKS AS A STRATEGIC SPACE FOR THE PROMOTION OF SUSTAINABLE FOOD HABITS AND COMBATING THE EXCESSIVE GENERATION OF SOLID WASTE

Abstract

This article proposes the use of social networks as a strategic space for the promotion of sustainable eating habits, intending, in this way, to combat the excessive generation of solid residues resulting from the packaging of industrialized foods. As a main objective, we sought to present the importance of using social networks as a strategic space for the dissemination of more sustainable eating habits in combating the excessive consumption of industrialized products that generate solid residues that, many times, are not recycled. The methodology adopted in this article was a literature review using primary and secondary sources.To this end, a bibliographic survey was developed, seeking references in different publications (theses, scientific articles, journals, among others) to support the entire theoretical context analyzed in this study. It was noticed that informal environmental education seeks to promote the formation of acts and attitudes for environmental preservation and the search for quality of life, through processes aimed at increasing public awareness of environmental issues, through the mass media. like social media. However, the use of social networks for this purpose is still little explored. Thinking about this perspective, social networks would be a good tool for the dissemination of informal environmental education, but of great relevance, and which would allow greater reach for the population.
