In October 2026, local authorities in the city launched a campaign called "Lunes" aimed at reducing food waste. The initiative, which took place on a Monday, involved police officers and municipal workers working together to monitor food distribution and encourage responsible consumption.
The campaign focused on key areas where food waste was most prevalent, such as markets and restaurants. Officers patrolled these locations to ensure that food was being distributed efficiently and that no surplus was being discarded. According to official reports, the program led to a 15% reduction in food waste during the first week of implementation.
This effort followed a series of public awareness campaigns about sustainable consumption. The city had previously introduced measures to improve food storage and distribution, but the "Lunes" campaign marked the first time police were directly involved in monitoring food waste. Officials emphasized that the initiative was part of a broader strategy to make the city more environmentally responsible.
