The Ecological Trails bring the coexistence of man to its origin, as man lived for a long time involved with nature, we were collectors, today we live surrounded by walls, living imprisoned like Book VII Plato The Republic the “Allegory of Man in the Cave ” written 2,300 years ago, no longer seeing the true value of the Environment and the sounds existing in it, using it as predators, to supply our needs. The Environment suffers from human resources, for the production of energy sources, using non-renewable raw materials. With the existing accumulation of use and then not having more uses, they end up making the incorrect disposal and often in Permanent Preservation Areas APP(s), in this Project in the City of Tubarão which is divided by the Tubarão River, which has sidewalks for well-preserved sidewalk and bike paths, but its banks are contaminated with various types of man-made waste.. The implementation of Ecological Trails will create Social Integration, Preservation with people as guardians of the stretch to be walked, bringing benefits to health, spiritual peace, a chain of well-being, quality of life for those who use it and didactic-pedagogical opportunity in Environmental education.
