1. Invitation-message (draft) from the Environment Secretary of Delfim Moreira to municipalities of the Intermunicipal Consortium of the microregion of Alto Sapucai that share a landfill in Itajubá

Dear Secretaries of the municipalities that make up the CIMASAS Consorcium

In order to reduce the volume of waste disposed of by the city in the municipal landfill, we are organizing a meeting in partnership with the Working Group on Solid Waste Advisory Council of the Federal APA of Mantiqueira on 28th January at 14, no .... in Delfim Moreira, MG.

This meeting is another step in the APA effort and some local governments to disseminate viable and effective practices that produce great results from resources that already exist locally available - either on the official level, the municipal public agencies, whether at the level of community, associations, volunteers etc.

The purpose of the meeting is to better understand the pilot project "I reduce garbage", the GTRS in partnership with the city of Resende, in place since 2014 in Visconde de Mauá region and recently awarded "Best Practices in Solid Waste Management" for the program "Sustainable Road", a partnership between CCR (concessionaire of the Via Dutra Rio-São Paulo) with AGEVAP (Agency of the Paraíba do Sul River Basin). The focus is on composting of organic solid waste (primarily food scraps and pruning remains) as close as possible to where they are generated, with alternatives in domestic or community levels.

Secondly, we will explore ways of how to adapt AoEs in Visconde de Mauá (and others) in a suitable model for Delfim Moreira - you want to use the fertilizer produced in planting native tree seedlings around the springs and along the rivers of region.

The decentralized composting of organic waste (corresponding to 50% of the total waste generated) is a remedy, please increasingly adopted in the world to reduce expenses in the collection, transportation and final disposião of this waste, cut emissions of greenhouse gases, prolong useful life of landfills and produce a valuable resource for the community and the environment.

Sincerely,

Juliane Coura
Secretary of Environment of Delfim Moreira MG

5. Invitation-letter (draft) from the Head of the APA to the municipalities-partners since April 2014
Dear Mayor,

As is known by you, on April 3, 2014 this APA sent a letter to the municipal governments that integrate the region offering them the collaboration of their staff and volunteers gathered at the Working Group on Solid Waste of the Advisory Council of the Federal APA of Mantiqueira, to reduce the volume of waste sent to municipal landfills, through innovative and effective actions, with special focus on decentralized composting - domestic or community - of organic waste.

On ... .. 2014, we received from your City Hall a letter  ../ 2014 signed by ..., expressing interest in participating in the proposed partnership, along with eight other municipalities in the region.

Since then, we have been developing, in partnership with the city of Resende, RJ, a pilot-project in Visconde de Mauá region, which has accumulated enough experience to have some of their initiatives analyzed and replicated in other locations.

Currently, the City of Delfim Moreira, MG, is preparing to implement initiatives with the same objective in order to use the fertilizer produced for the young trees that will be needed for its reforestation project of the water sources in the municipality.

In this sense, we invite you or a representative of this city to attend the next meeting of the Working Group, scheduled for January 28, 2016, at 13:00 hours in the Historical and Cultural Museum of Delfim Moreira, when we will evaluate the results obtained in Visconde de Mauá and discuss with representatives of local government the introduction of the practice of composting in a pilot neighborhood in that municipality.

Hoping to count on the participation of important ... this effort to transform pollutants and costly waste resources and valuable nutrients, we put ourselves at the disposal to settle any doubt and, if necessary, signing a Term of Cooperation, Partnership either that the Municipality deems necessary.
(PS .: this final was copied from the previous message from the Head of the APA to the municipalities).

Sincerely,
