Local environmental initiatives launched in Alcalá de Henares and Torrejón de Ardoz

In Alcalá de Henares, the citizen platform ‘1 Millón de Árboles por el Cambio Climático – Alcalá Verde’ has launched an initiative to name kilometer markers along the city’s Green Ring (Anillo Verde) in honor of notable individuals and organizations. The project seeks to recognize those who have made significant social, cultural, sporting, or environmental contributions to the city. Initial assignments include Miguel de Cervantes at kilometer 0, Amigos del Camino de Santiago Complutense – Emilio Pacios at kilometer 3, and Mujeres Progresistas Francisca de Pedraza at kilometer 26.

Meanwhile, in Torrejón de Ardoz, local authorities and community members planted 105 trees to mark International Day Against Climate Change. The planting took place in various urban areas, including Carmen Martín Gaite and Eduardo Chillida streets, to improve air quality, absorb carbon dioxide, and provide shade to combat rising temperatures. The event involved local residents, associations, Mayor Alejandro Navarro Prieto, and Environment Councilor Esperanza Fernández.
