FIRST ACTIVITY: SDG and environmental education projects for Los Kilómetros
30 young people from Telebachillerato from the Km 8 community are participating in the environmental education group that the community relations team has been implementing on the site for several weeks. Three projects are being worked on in this telebachillerato:
- Water culture
- Educational vegetable garden
- Rescue nursery for native and endemic seedlings.
These projects involve students in the collection of germplasm, the germination of seeds for the nursery and vegetable garden, the promotion of a culture of water care, knowledge of pollinators, knowledge of the milpa, concepts of biodiversity and resilience in the face of climate change.
As a result, on 4 June, in the framework of World Environment Day, an eco-awareness poster workshop was held to highlight the 4 Sustainable Development Goals: clean water and sanitation, life below water, life on land and climate action.
In addition, on 5 June, posters were placed in strategic places in the community: streets, roads, bus stops and a clean-up was carried out of the entire community.

“Thank you very much for the support, at the end of the day this is for the benefit of our children and, of course, we are committed as parents to take care of and water the plants”, said Carlos López Toledo

THIRD ACTIVITY: Naco Nogales combined-cycle power station donates 80 seedlings to Agua Prieta schools
As part of World Environment Day, Naco Nogales CCP donated 80 seedlings to the Jesús Quijada Aguilar and Nueva Creación schools, which will be in safekeeping for a few days before reforestation can take place with the students and parents. These seedlings were planted in the power station’s greenhouse and are part of our commitment to the surrounding communities and stakeholders.
