In the second activity, Mentees were presented with case scenarios and were to debate , within the group, which option represents the most ecological alternative, and why; by approaching and applying the 8 Rs principles.More than finding the correct answer, it was important to discuss the reasons behind each alternative being more or less sustainable.
