• The portal is made by the students of the Inca schools with cardboard, tetra bricks, shoeboxes, paper, wood, etcetera.
• This year the aim is to raise awareness of the pollution generated by the production of paper, and the importance of recycling and reusing the material, as it is one of the industrial activities with the greatest negative impact on the environment.

19 The Inca Town Hall has inaugurated the Nativity Scene made by the students of all the schools in Inca, coordinated by the Mallorcan artist and photographer Rafel Trossort. The aim of this initiative is to raise awareness of sustainability and responsible consumption.

As a novelty, this year paper and cardboard materials have been used in particular, as well as tetra bricks, boxes and wood among other materials, to promote sustainability and responsible consumption. In this regard, I would like to point out that the main source of raw material for paper production is forests’, said the Councillor for Education, Helena Cayetano.

For his part, Mayor Virgilio Moreno once again thanked all the participants: ‘We are very pleased with the good reception that this initiative has had year after year, which without the involvement and collaboration of the educational centres would not have been possible’.

For his part, the mayor, Virgilio Moreno, once again thanked all the participants: ‘We are very pleased with the good reception that year after year has this initiative, which without the involvement and collaboration of the city’s educational centres would not be possible. Thank you all for your participation and for contributing, year after year, to raising awareness of the importance of recycling, reusing and reducing waste generation.

Thus, during the last few months, the schools of Inca, in coordination with the City Council, have researched and worked, in the first phase, on the problems of the paper and cardboard industry, how it affects the world’s production, consumption of natural resources, pollution and the importance of recycling. They then collected the materials to make the different pieces and worked on the selected figures.

In this way, the whole set of pieces has become a small village that makes up an Urban Bethlehem. The work can be visited from Monday to Saturday from 9 am to 2.30 pm, in the hall of the Town Hall.
