 The pollution present in the air, water, and soil is affecting our health and our communities, challenging us to take urgent measures to eliminate it. A challenge that needs superheroes to eliminate the pollution from our lives and communities.

That’s why we are looking for superheroes who want to win this pollution challenge. The main duty of these superheroes is to assume responsibility with their community and families to promote healthy lifestyle habits that allow us to overcome the challenge of pollution.
