The European Week for Waste Reduction (EWWR)〔(ACR+ - EWWR presentation ), 2009〕 was launched as a 3-year project supported by the LIFE+ Programme of the European Commission until July 2012.〔(European Commission - Environment Policy & Governance, LIFE + Projects 2007 ), 2009〕 It continues taking place in the following years. The 2012 edition of the EWWR took place from the 17th to the 25th of November 2012 under the patronage of Mr Janez Potočnik, European Commissioner for the Environment. It aims to organize multiple actions during a single week, across Europe, that will raise awareness about waste reduction. Each year, the most outstanding actions are rewarded during an awards ceremony in Brussels at the heart of the European institutions. Since the beginning of the project, more than 20.000 awareness raising actions on waste prevention have been implemented in the framework of the EWWR. The five partners of this project are: * ADEME (the French Environment and Energy Management Agency – project coordinator) * ACR+ (the Association of Cities and Regions for Recycling and sustainable Resource management – project technical secretariat) * ARC (the Catalan Waste Agency) * IBGE (Brussels Environment, public administration for the environment and energy) and * LIPOR (the Intermunicipal Waste Management Service of Greater Porto). ==Purpose== * To raise awareness about waste reduction strategies and about the policies of the European Union and its Member States on this subject * To promote sustainable waste reduction actions across Europe * To highlight the work accomplished by various actors, through concrete examples of waste reduction * To encourage changes in the behaviour of Europeans (consumption, production) in everyday life 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「European Week for Waste Reduction」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
