Brencorp is performing together with SANEPAR, Sanitation Company of Paraná, educational and leisure activities
at Guaratuba, Matinhos and Pontal do Paraná beaches. At the 10 attendance points, where the ecologic showers
of the Chuá Project are located, more than 50 social educators teaches about water care, trash classification, water reservatory cleaning and
conservation of the environment.
On weekends, the educators work with the distribution of educational and playful material. Until the end of the summer,
60.000 comic books, 60.000 visors, 200.000 trash bags, 4.000 kites and 4.000 frisbees will be given for the beach goers.
The educational activities of SANEPAR will heppen at the same points where the 55 ecological showers will be available.
They have aleady been used about 85 thousand times. The showers bring confort to the population and support the racional
use of potable water. Beyond the 10 points with fixed showers, SANEPAR also has a mobile point with showers for
locations where there is a great number of people eventualy.

The project consists in the Estrategic Environmental Avaliation of Belo Horizonte where the avaliation is
a continuos and systematic process with analytical and participatory focus, that aims identify and evaluate the
environmental effects of policies, plans and programs, aiming to influence the decision making at the initial phase
of the planning, together with the social and economical orders.
According MMA (2002), the adoption of this instrument allows that the decision making process be early supported
with the needed information, making the improvement of decision making process possible. It constitutes a proper tool
to increase the probability of success in the sustainable principles on the policies, plan and programs planning.
According PARTIDÁRIO (2007), the EEA makes the sustainability processes easier and one of the great challenges
of the EEA is the capacity of evaluate the possible oportinuties and riscs of development strategies, whereas
the sustainability development objectives. The EEA does not control before, but creates conditions to secure
the formulation of action strategies and the encouragement of sustainable decisions.
In this way, the Estrategic Environmental Avaliation presents itself as a new instrument of environmental management (MENDES, 2011)
that acts in strategic levels and contributes to the incorporation of the environmental considerations, at the planning phase,
at the Critical decision factors, that means, in the criteria set that have to be considered in policies, plans or programs for
the achievement of the proposed sustainability objectives in long term.
