The European Waste Reduction Week (SERD) will take place from 20 to 28 November 2021, around the theme of “Sustainable Communities”.
The Oceanographic Museum will offer three highlights around the “3Rs”: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Since 2019, SERD has brought together many actors in the Principality wishing to take action for a more sustainable future: institutions, schools, companies, associations, individuals.
This year again, the Oceanographic Museum is committed to this week of action and awareness. The theme of “Circular communities” refers to the importance of collaboration and solidarity to fight against the growing production of waste, a necessity to imagine and implement the “world after Covid.”
