The activities are divided into themes such as environmental education, arts, sports, astronomy, selective collection and to encourage afforestation. According to the director of parks and green areas, Milton Persoli, the goal of the activities in the parks is to seek the awareness, knowledge and environmental awareness of the population. Despite the cold and drizzle, Persoli, said he is pleased with the initiative and participation of people in Ibirapuera Park.

"The intention is to begin to wake up to that first turn, motivate the consideration for the environment. Thinking about sustainability actions, reuse of materials, further motivate the population that has already done some actions in this direction. The Environmental Tipping is concentrating it in a single weekend, with lots of people embracing this cause, "said Persoli.

This weekend the Parque Ibirapuera work 24 hours promoting the attractions. Among the activities are ciclorrota trails and night, watching the night sky in the planetarium, exhibits, workshops, and participation of non-governmental organizations (NGOs). "It will be very instructive and interesting to the public to attend," said the director.

One of the workshops, the planting vegetable garden in PET bottles, teaches how to plant saplings of medicinal herbs enjoying a material that usually goes to waste indiscriminately and often will stop the rivers. The history teacher, Antonia Vieira de Moraes, the park took a group of five children and praised the initiative. "We are developing a project on the environment at school and was facing an opportunity to bring students to see that we are not alone with this concern."

Antonia said she loves taking care of plants and it wont mess on the ground, but does so without any knowledge, despite having been created in rural areas where his family planted vegetables. "I have in pots and depending on the plant, it dies when they plant the right way. Probably now I know to take better care of my garden. I'll take these guidelines for my life and for my students. "

The project coordinator itinerant Fundação SOS Mata Atlântica, Romilda Roncatti explained that the non-governmental organization (NGO) participates in the upset with a truck where activities are made, including the Cine Ambiental, with several sessions during the day aimed at all ages. "We have memory games, models explaining about the forest and deforested areas, a home that shows what to do daily to collaborate with the environment. There are various activities to raise awareness. "
