The Mayoress of Mijas, Ana Mata, accompanied by the councilors for Environment, Marco Cortés, and Education, Juan José Torres, participated in the distribution of these super-seeds. The project, aimed at environmental recovery and citizen awareness, has exceeded initial forecasts, reaching 33,000 units compared to the target of 27,000.
Each super-seed symbolically represents a worker from General Electric, the company collaborating with Exploramás on this social action as a demonstration of its commitment to sustainability.
The first phase of the project, held on October 20 and 21 at Cortijo Don Elías, involved nearly 700 participants, including students from the institutes Las Lagunas, Sierra de Mijas, Torre Almenara, Villa de Mijas, and Kampus Formación, as well as members of the Parkinson's Patients Association Fuenmijas and Afesol.
Currently, between 50 and 60 representatives from these groups have carried out the sowing in the designated natural areas. The super-seeds, made from substrate, clay, natural fertilizer, and meadow seeds, are based on the Japanese 'nendo dango' technique, facilitating direct germination in the soil after rainfall.
Mayoress Ana Mata highlighted the importance of involving companies, educational centers, and associations, stating that "when administrations, companies, young people, and social groups work together, we can achieve results that go far beyond an environmental action. We are also educating in values and fostering respect for nature."
