Abstract
O descarte inadequado de resíduos de óleo de cozinha usado pode causar danos ambientais no local onde é depositado, bem como no entorno, fato que desrespeita um dos direitos do ser humano: o acesso a um ambiente ecologicamente equilibrado. Nesse contexto, o Projeto Sabão Ecológico foi criado pela ONG Engenheiros Sem Fronteiras - Núcleo Viçosa, em função da necessidade de sensibilizar a população sobre os danos inerentes ao descarte incorreto desse óleo. Por meio de oficinas teórico-práticas, que ensinam a produção de sabão artesanal
a partir do óleo usado, o projeto apresenta um destino sustentável para este, gerando um produto capaz de
auxiliar no orçamento doméstico ou mesmo gerar renda para a comunidade, já tendo alcançado avaliação positiva pelos participantes. Dessa forma, o projeto tem impactado diversas esferas, pois promove benefícios ambientais, sociais e financeiros aos envolvidos por meio da educação ambiental, utilizada como ferramenta de transformação da sociedade.
