After the signature of the agreement, the technical teams of the Municipality and of the Faculty organised one workshop about the environmental problems of the municipal territory, involving politicians, technicians, industrialists, the local press, Local Non Governmental Organizations and interested citizens.

During the workshop, this accompanying group elected five strategic axis for action:

- Domestic Solid Wastes, industrial wastes and others;

- Environmental Education – how to enlarge?

- Water courses – how can it be cleaned?

- Cattle breeding and protected agriculture;

- Sustainable land use management. 

Later, there were organized five workshops about the strategic axis with the participation of the various members of the accompanying group. For the five strategic axis, during the workshops, we proposed many actions plans to try to solve the environmental problems found.

Afterwards, we started the process of the implementation of the actions proposed.

The dissemination of the information in the local press sensitized the population of the municipality for the need to help us to solve various environmental problems. In 2005, it was made a balance of the implementation of this plan and we realized that it was more than a half concluded.

Torres Vedras Municipality became more known in Portugal, as a municipality concerned with the Sustainable Development.

This year, we have signed another agreement with the same Faculty to elaborate the Local Agenda 21 for Torres Vedras.
