O empreendedorismo sustentável na Amazônia

Este estudo foi desenvolvido com o fim de analisar as perspectivas para o empreendedorismo sustentável na Amazônia, a partir de uma revisão bibliográfica sobre o tema. Para tanto, foram analisadas as ações, públicas e privadas, que podem ser adotadas para incentivar tal empreendedorismo. Ademais, foi feito um estudo da Agenda 21, Protocolo de Quioto e núcleos de empreendedorismo sustentável. Com base nessas fontes de consulta pode-se concluir que intervenções endógenas não irão promover este desenvolvimento, pois é fundamental que os setores públicos e privados sejam agentes de ação para que o empreendedorismo sustentável seja fomentado na Amazônia. É preciso criar condições para se desenvolver o espírito empreendedor do “povo da floresta” no intuito de que eles sejam cidadãos, no mais amplo sentido que esta palavra possa ter. Isto é, que as comunidades que vivem na Floresta possuam emprego e renda, e que esta fonte econômica venha de forma sustentável com origem na floresta, de modo a mostrar às comunidades que a floresta é muito mais valiosa viva do que morta. A preservação da Floresta Amazônica pelos que lá habitam, certamente será garantida, já que não há ninguém melhor para protegê-la do que seus próprios núcleos vivos.

Similitudes na gestão dos resíduos sólidos urbanos em países centrais e periféricos

A emergência na necessidade de se manejar os resíduos sólidos urbanos leva as administrações públicas em países centrais e periféricos a utilizarem modelos de gestão de resíduos bastante similares. A gestão dos resíduos nos países centrais é caracterizada pela eficiência na execução dos serviços (limpeza, coleta, transporte e destino final), uso de aparatos tecnológicos na execução de ditos serviços e forte tradição na separação dos materiais recicláveis a ser destinados para a reciclagem. Nos países periféricos, a gestão tradicional (coletar e descartar resíduos em lixões à céu aberto) vem sendo substituída pela gestão moderna, sobressaindo-se o controle dos resíduos em detrimento das estratégias de prevenção. Também, destaca-se a presença de trabalhadores informais que coletam e separam materiais, destinando-os à reciclagem. A partir do levantamento à referência bibliográfica especializada e na consulta a documentos oficiais e produzidos por entidades diversas, o presente artigo analisa as similitudes na gestão dos resíduos sólidos em países centrais e periféricos. A busca pela modernização nos serviços dos resíduos sem levar em conta as recomendações de documentos como a Agenda 21 caracteriza a gestão dos resíduos em países centrais e periféricos pelo ambientalismo econômico, no qual as ações de controle dos resíduos são justificadas pelos aspectos ambientais e sociais dessa gestão
