Student Ester Maria, aged 14, participated in the planting of seedlings promoted by the Clean Consciousness Project Richard Lauriano/Rede Amazônica Acre "Our Amazon always needs to be renewed by planting plants. I think these things are very important because our Amazon needs it. And it's very good," he stated. In addition to participating in the action, Ester also decided to name the seedling she planted in reference to her fruit: açaí. "Açaí is purple, right? I put purple because it's purple and açaí is purple. And I thought that name was very creative. It came into my head like that, I thought about putting it", he said.

Just as the plant grows, bears fruit, I want it to happen to her [Estefany], to grow and be successful in life", commented Marciane about the tribute to her friend. For Estefany, the tribute symbolizes the time of friendship between the two.

So, it will be a tribute," she shared. About Clean Conscience The Clean Consciousness Project seeks to change habits in the Amazon through education, practical actions and communication.
