Since 2005, government entities in the city of Bogotá - Colombia have confirmed their commitment to the environment by implementing a series of environmental programs that seek to reduce significant impacts, and improving overall quality environmental capital city.
As part of this process, these public institutions have invested financial resources in the implementation of concrete actions both internally and externally to meet this goal, and implementing programs that seek to reduce, refine and expand the concept of environmental protection for all citizens that flow into the territory.
Since the implementation of this process, we have observed this trend and through the implementation of environmental programs, the reduction from energy consumption, water and supplies. But even there has been a consistent phenomenon in the existence of greater financial resources against environmental protection.
That is, in previous years, public entities invest money on administrative tasks which today have been falling, and associated resources have been allocated to environmental protection.
But what impact this has with the shopping green and the local economy?Much!, If the public sector there is an environmental awareness throughout the general public may support these ideas, not just receiving knowledge but also implementing it and actively participating in the process, ie small, medium and large businesses relate to environmental issues may participate actively in achieving these ends.
An example of this is that all recycled paper obtained from public entities is given free to people vulnerable to tech who has been in the recycling process and who gets economic benefits of recycling this material,There are nearly 9000 families who are benefited by this process as simple as "the source separation," and it would not be realized if there were no state involvement in the implementation of these programs.
