September 22nd is Tietê River
September 22nd is Tietê River Day, and the aim is to raise awareness among the population about the importance of preserving this river, one of the best-known in Brazil. The Tietê River runs through the state of São Paulo and is historically significant, both culturally and economically, having been used by several civilizations since the pre-colonial period. Despite its importance, the Tietê is also famous for its pollution, especially in urban areas such as the capital of São Paulo. Tietê River Day serves as a moment of reflection and mobilization for actions to clean up and restore the environment, in addition to encouraging debate on the sustainable use of water resources and environmental awareness. The date was created to promote environmental education and to remind people of the need to protect rivers and other natural resources.
