ABSTRACT
Los Proyectos Ambientales Escolares permiten elaborar diagnósticos de las condiciones ambientales en una determinada región según la intervención de la población al interactuar con los entornos naturales y con los recursos que estos proveen. En Colombia el Decreto 1743 del 3 de agosto de 1994 contempla las orientaciones para el diseño de este tipo de proyectos y la forma como deben intervenir los ministerios de Educación y Ambiente, Vivienda y Desarrollo Territorial para tal fin. Desde el orden nacional se ha propuesto la ejecución de estos proyectos mediante el desarrollo de cinco fases que hacen posible la creación de proyectos sólidos, viables y sostenibles en el tiempo que además trascienden las fronteras de las aulas de clase para proyectarse hacia las comunidades educativas, en procura de generar una conciencia ambiental y la preservación de los recursos naturales para las futuras generaciones, garantizando así la supervivencia de la especie humana. De acuerdo a esto, en el municipio de Pasto se ha adelantado un proceso pertinente en relación al diseño de los Proyectos Ambientales Escolares, ajustado a los planteamientos del Gobierno Central con miras al cumplimiento de estos objetivos.
School Environmental Projects allow the making of diagnoses of environmental conditions in a particular region depending on the population's intervention when interacting with natural environments and with the resources they provide. In Colombia, Decree 1743 from August 3, 1994 provides guidelines for the design of such projects and the way in which the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Environment, Housing and Territorial Development must intervene for such purpose. From the national level, the implementation of these projects through the development of five phases which make possible the creation of sound, feasible and sustainable projects over time that also transcend the classroom boundaries to project themselves into the educational communities trying to generate an environmental conscience and the preservation of natural resources for future generations, has been proposed, thus ensuring the survival of human species. Accordingly, a relevant process related to the design of the School Environmental Projects, adjusted to the proposals of the Central Government for the fulfillment of these objectives, has ben developed in the Municipality of Pasto.

Environmental pollution induced by food wastes is considered as one of very serious problems in the world, and it is the most important to reduce the production of food wastes. In this study, environmental campaign for reducing food waste was conducted by applying various campaign methods using such as a bulletin board, intra-network, slogans & posters and news letters, as well as some systems such as penalty and prize in a business & industry foodservice. We investigated customers' recognition and execution degree before and after environmental campaign for the purpose of analyzing the changes of customers' attitude by the campaign. The subjects of this study had generally high level of recognition of environmental problem(3.09 point) compared to the execution degree(1.88 point)(Max. 5 points), implying necessity for the induction of actual execution of food wastes reduction by continuous environmental campaign. After environmental campaign, the recognition of environmental problem related to food wastes was significantly increased from 3.09 point to 3.29 point (p<0.001), and the execution degree for food wastes reduction was also greatly increased from 1.88 to 2.70 point (p<0.001). These changes indicated that campaign for food wastes reduction has raised customers' recognition and execution for environmental protection.
