Abstract

Integral management of solid waste is necessary for the preservation of the environment. It is currently a challenge in Cuban universities because education is a centre for the amplification of knowledge and the practice of values oriented to the conservation and preservation of nature. It is necessary that, from all disciplines, an awareness of the short- and long-term consequences of solid waste management be created. The training of students should include solid scientific knowledge and a deep environmental awareness that will enable them to contribute to the reduction of environmental pollution in their daily work. The objective of this article is to report on the design and use of an educational blog that stimulates the culture of recycling, garbage classification and its proper management.
