Guarulhos is implementing various environmental education and sustainability initiatives scheduled for October 2026.

In mid-September, registration opened for the 10th Zero Waste Week, organized by the Instituto Lixo Zero Alto Tietê (ILZAT). The event, running from October 17 to 25, invites schools, companies, and community organizations to propose activities such as workshops, lectures, and collection campaigns focused on composting and the circular economy.

Concurrently, the Secretariat of Green, Climate, and Sustainability announced a series of free workshops throughout October. These sessions include activities such as orchid cultivation, terrarium assembly, vermiculture, and bird watching, held at locations including the Municipal Orchidarium and the Virgínia Ranalli Environmental Education Center.
