Las resistencias socioambientales de colectivos de jóvenes en busca de transformaciones alternativas a las afectaciones provocadas por el Relleno Sanitario Doña Juana y al inconsistente e inadecuado manejo de residuos que se da en el barrio La Aurora, localidad de Usme, Bogotá

Abstract

The text deals with the socio-environmental and eco-political dynamics related to garbage dumps or landfills, from their creation to the present. It highlights how the Industrial Revolution and consumer capitalism have exacerbated the generation of waste, affecting both locally and globally. The responsibility in waste management is discussed, both by public institutions and the population, and the need to rethink current practices to promote a more sustainable relationship with the environment is mentioned. Emphasis is placed on the importance of addressing these problems from approaches such as Political Ecology and social resistance, especially in urban contexts such as Bogotá, Colombia, where the focus of the research is located. The role of young people as agents of change is highlighted and the implementation of new collective practices is proposed to address the socio-environmental problems associated with garbage dumps.
