The awards ceremony took place in the Ernesto De los Campos Hall of the Municipal Palace and was attended by Mayor Carolina Cosse who stated on the occasion that “the construction of a new environmental culture is much more than keeping the city clean. It is caring for the other, it is building a culture of solidarity in which the cooperatives can teach them », stated Cosse.
