Ese no debería ser el sentido de nuestra existencia e influencia en el mundo, por el contrario agradecimiento y una conciencia de coexistencia en el planeta es lo que debería prevalecer.

Que podamos realmente cumplir los acuerdos internacionales donde es común la premisa de tener un mundo ecológicamente sustentable. Pero ¿A que se refiere esto?

Es simplemente que podamos tener un mundo donde, se haga un uso y aprovechamiento consciente de todos los factores bióticos, como seres vivos,plantas, etc y abióticos como rocas, minerales, etc., que forman parte del planeta. En ese proceso la idea es no mermar la capacidad de regeneración de los ecosistemas y a su vez, garantizar que las generaciones futuras puedan desarrollarse con recursos naturales para su subsistencia y con respeto hacia el ambiente que le rodea.

At a time when the planet is experiencing the circumstances related to the Covid-19, ironically nature has benefited while we are at home. I refer to the existence of irony in this, because I wonder what role we play on the planet that the earth has to take advantage of our period of productive inactivity on a large scale to take a break and regenerate?

That shouldn't be the meaning of our existence and influence in the world, on the contrary gratitude and a consciousness of coexistence on the planet is what should prevail.

That we can really fulfill the international agreements where the premise of having an ecologically sustainable world is common. But what does this mean?

It is simply that we can have a world where there is a conscious use and exploitation of all biotic factors, such as living beings, plants, etc. and abiotics such as rocks, minerals, etc., that are part of the planet. In this process the idea is not to diminish the capacity of regeneration of the ecosystems and at the same time, to guarantee that the future generations can develop with natural resources for their subsistence and with respect towards the environment that surrounds them.

That is what man has tried to create for many years, when the World Environmental Congresses and Meetings began with the aim of agreeing on certain measures. In addition, Non-Governmental Organizations were created for environmental defense and people in their individuality realized that they are part of the land and not owners of it.

This is how strategies are proposed that take us precisely to that ecologically sustainable world, and they range from environmental education at all levels of formal and non-formal education, to more forceful concrete actions, such as

The Use of Renewable Energies, wind, solar, geothermal, among others; people already use solar panels to recharge different energy sources and batteries. There are even ecological houses that demonstrate that it is possible to live comfortably without being so polluting

Motor vehicles, which do not use fuels such as gasoline or diesel oil, including electric vehicles, or use natural gas fuel

The use of compost to fertilize crops, to avoid the use of inorganic fertilizers and manures

The 3 ecological Rs: Recycling, Reuse and Reduction of all the residues and waste that we generate

The protection of valuable natural areas that should be preserved under figures such as National Parks and ABRAES, Areas Under Special Administration Regime.

The human being himself is looking for options to reduce the environmental impact caused, only that this effect is largely irreversible.

An ecologically sustainable world is the ideal for us and for those who come after us, a constant environmental education because there are still many people who have not become aware and are not able to think and see beyond their own comfort, and instead of helping they continue to aggravate the problems.

Every day we lose more natural resources that we have, but this environmentalist conscience begins from home, and there you have more influence and is more direct without having to wait for what government figures decide; so start by orienting your people towards environmental conservation.

I hope you liked this post.
