Composting, Seeds, Environmental educationAbstract
The study aimed to facilitate the composting process with leaves collected on the campus of URI/Santo Angelo-RS, with the planting of collected seeds for activities in Environmental Education. Practical development was held in Campus area with elementary school students of the School Dr. Orlando Sparta de Souza in partnership with Eco-NGO Global Missions. The organic materials used in composting are decomposable along with the implementation of earthworms Eisenia andrei as physical and chemical parameters required for the reactions. The formed slurry is a biofertilizer used in a 1: 10L. The humus, after thirty days, was mixed 1:10 with lato-soil soil from Santo Angelo to prepare the substrate which was placed in transparent PET bottles (2L), where the seeds were sown by the students involved. The sowing of the plant species provides the production of seedlings which were grown in an ultimate site in the community surrounding the school. The interaction between the university and the community is essential, so that environmental education rescues personal values and also promotes social and environmental well-being. It becomes a sustainable alternative on the recovering of damaged areas and restoration riparian forests and environmental education.

Ethical guidelines for journal publication
The REMOA is committed to ensuring ethics in publication and quality of articles.
Conformance to standards of ethical behavior is therefore expected of all parties involved: Authors, Editors, Reviewers, and the Publisher.
In particular,
Authors: Authors should present an objective discussion of the significance of research work as well as sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the experiments. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable. Review articles should also be objective, comprehensive, and accurate accounts of the state of the art. The authors should ensure that their work is entirely original works, and if the work and/or words of others have been used, this has been appropriately acknowledged. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Authors should not submit articles describing essentially the same research to more than one journal. The corresponding author should ensure that there is a full consensus of all co-authors in approving the final version of the paper and its submission for publication.
Editors: Editors should evaluate manuscripts exclusively on the basis of their academic merit. An editor must not use unpublished information in the editor's own research without the express written consent of the author. Editors should take reasonable responsive measures when ethical complaints have been presented concerning a submitted manuscript or published paper.
Reviewers: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviews should be conducted objectively, and observations should be formulated clearly with supporting arguments, so that authors can use them for improving the paper. Any selected referee who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the editor and excuse himself from the review process. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
