Abstract

By investing in the viability of social gains providing training and professional qualification aiming to sustainability, the Public Power promotes new values and attitudes that contribute to the improvement of the environment, citizenship and life quality. With this research it was sought to evaluate the collaborative role of the Court of Justice in implementing the solidary selective collection at Rio das Ostras’ County Forum, in accordance with its Sustainable Logistics Plan, with the law that instituted the National Policy on Solid Waste and the Federal Constitution, under the guiding principles of Environmental Law. The methodological strategy adopted is based on exploratory and descriptive research with bibliographic review and the evaluation of qualitative and quantitative data. The study revealed that the Judiciary is a great generator of paper waste, and that the Forum produces daily almost 20% of the average generation of the entire region and that the involvement of the whole society is needed.
