"É só mais um canudinho" : uma análise sobre a adoção de canudos reutilizáveis

Abstract

This article deals with a qualitative research, which deals with the perception of the population of the municipality of Solânea / PB and the academic community of UFPB - Campus III / Bananeiras, on the substitution of plastic straws for reusable ones, the research is done through a semi-structured interview with youths and adults, and resulted in the use of straws, the whole group of interviewees have this view, but with a caveat, that some children and even people with disabilities need these straws for the consumption of some drinks. It is also noticed that there is a distortion as to the definition of what is sustainable consumption, and an inefficiency of a selective collection project implanted in the city. The results also bring the importance of an awareness to sustainable consumption models, and that there must be shared responsibilities regarding the handling and final destination of waste, especially plastic.
