O papel da Gestão Pública municipal diante da poluição causada pelo plástico nas praias da cidade de João Pessoa/PB

Abstract

Plastic has revolutionized the history of the industry, bringing numerous benefits to society. However, a large-scale production together with a bad administration, brings frightening consequences to long and short term. It’s up to public management, like a fundamental part for maintaining the welfare of society, the responsibility to ensure that its rights are put into practice. Thus, this article aims to analyze the performance of public management in the face of pollution caused by plastic on the seafront of the city of João Pessoa, studying the historical context of plastic, identifying the benefits and evils caused by its use and understanding the role and performance of municipal public management of João Pessoa, given the pollution caused by plastic. The importance of this theme lies in the understanding that public management is an essential part of maintaining the quality of life of the population, as well as to combat the inadequate disposal of plastic waste, which degrade, affect and mistreat the lives of so many beings. Thus, through the study of specific articles of the Municipal Code of the Environment of the city of João Pessoa, it can be concluded that the legislation is well structured, however, there is no efficient action that seeks to act in ensuring a balanced environment.
