Last year, 40 hectares of pine and eucalyptus burned on common land in Cepões and Maeiras, in Viseu. Today, local school children planted cork oaks, donated by a company from Ovar, to create firebreaks and generate future income.

Context & Explainers
Sustainability (sustentabilidade) means meeting present needs without reducing the ability of future generations to meet theirs, covering environmental, economic and social dimensions. For residents it affects local planning, jobs and services—look for municipal or company targets, timelines and measurable actions when assessing how sustainable a place or employer is.
