This year's campaign focuses on material sufficiency, reviewing what we consume and how to make better use of resources. It reminds us that preventing waste and saving resources are two sides of the same coin, with social, economic, and health benefits.
Practices being promoted include buying second-hand items, proper management of used cooking oil, repairing appliances and clothing, and purchasing local and bulk food. These actions contribute to the social economy, help reduce packaging, and save money.
The program includes initiatives such as La Trocalleria es mou, which brings second-hand product exchange to neighborhoods; a home composting workshop; the Dimecres Manetes service for repairing appliances; and a new municipal textile repair service. Visitors can also tour the Vallès Occidental Waste Treatment Center.
On Saturday, November 28th, Plaça del Doctor Guardiet will host a significant portion of the week's activities, including a new edition of Refira't with stalls from local entities, children's activities like the interactive exhibition '1, 2, 3... Do you separate correctly?', and a special session of Dimecres Manetes.
The campaign also offers free advice and materials at the 'Small gestures, big changes' stall. All activities are free, and the full program can be found on the website rubi.cat/sepr. For registrations, use calendly.com/inscripcions or call the Green Phone, 900 130 130.
