With the presence of the Minister of the Environment, Maisa Rojas, the Mayor of La Florida, Rodolfo Carter and his peers from the Association of Municipalities of the South MSUR and GRANSIC ReSimple, a collaboration agreement was signed that will allow the residents of 12 communes of the southern sector of the Metropolitan Region to have a new door-to-door recycling system, an unprecedented model in the country that will come with the implementation of the REP and ReSimple Law.
This marks a before and after in the way in which we take charge of the recycling of containers and packaging, where the role of citizens from their homes will be key.
«It is not acceptable at this point in the life of Chile’s history, that we are voting more and more garbage, further away and more expensive. For this reason, we emphasize that this project is going to radically change the history of our commune, because we will go to the neighbor’s house to look for waste to recycle,” said Carter.
Mayor Carter reiterates the call to the Government to execute a plan to increase vaccination by Covid
The mayor of Florida, Rodolfo Carter, once again called on the Undersecretary of Health, Cristóbal Cuadrado, for the Government to carry out actions in order to encourage vaccination, given the low coverage of the third, fourth dose and bivalent vaccine “Le We reiterate to Undersecretary Cuadrado, that the streets are not swept with a recipe from the left or the right. The streets are swept. People are not vaccinated with a prescription from the left or the right, they are vaccinated, and what is relevant is that Chileans are not getting vaccinated today and this is not a matter for the undersecretary, or the minister, or the mayor nor of the President.
And he added “It is the people who are going to get sick in the next three or four months*, when the vaccines that have not been inoculated begin to pass us the bill. What does this mean in simple Spanish? Is the virus among us, yes or no? Still is Are people getting vaccinated? You are not vaccinated. Therefore, the sum of these two elements leads us to a rather dramatic conclusion. In April or May, we are going to have an exponential increase in infections and where it is going to feel stronger, in the elderly, who are the public most exposed to the lethality of the coronavirus.
Carter assured that “That is why it is essential to make a cross-cutting call to the Government, not politicized, but very clearly: Put ideology aside and take charge, that only a quarter of the population that should be vaccinated is being vaccinated. The difference between sickness and health, between life and death, is not left and right, it is to do or not to do things.
