Environmental Solutions
  1. Solutions to environmental pollution
    1. Re-use
      1. your jars of mayonnaise can become beautiful and creative lamps for your garden, your porch or your living room.
        1. Take advantage of the use of renewable energies.
          1. Water can be used for several things
          2. Recycle
            1. Classify the garbage in your house (organic garbage, paper / cardboard, glass, plastic and aluminum) and pour it into the special containers for it.
            2. Reduce
              1. Reducing the use of plastic
                1. The use of public transport
                2. Sow and care
                  1. protect and take care of the green environment around you. Do not make bonfires in the mountains, do not cut pine trees in the forests, and do not consent to practices that destroy or alter the vegetation.
                  2. Eliminate the use of pesticides and sprays
                    1. When you plant your garden or take care of your plants, do not use pesticides. Also, avoid all kinds of aerosols, or at least confirm that they are safe for the environment.
                    2. avoid pouring the oil down the pipes
                      1. A single liter of cooking oil can contaminate up to 40 thousand liters of water, which we do, we can take the used oil when it is cold and pour it into an old container of oil or water that you have without use and seal it well. Then put it in the “non-recyclable waste” containers or take them to an oil recycling center.
                      2. try to use reusable products
                        1. Before buying something, think about whether you really need it, what material it is made of, and how you can less impact the environment by using it.
                      3. Solutions to Environmental Problems and the Ecological Crisis
                        1. More responsible agriculture
                          1. Increase yields in agriculture without increasing your ecological footprint
                          2. Take care of the forests
                            1. Do not destroy more forests and promote certified forest operations. Some 6,000 square meters of tropical forest disappears every second.
                            2. Responsible consumption of water
                              1. Optimize the water used for human, industrial, agricultural, livestock and mining consumption, among others.
                              2. Reduce food waste
                                1. Drastically reduce food losses and waste, which currently represent incredible amounts (30% of world production equivalent to 1.3 billion tons per year when there are currently 870 million people who are victims of famine).
                                2. Responsible energy consumption
                                  1. Reduce energy consumption in all scenarios by optimizing its use, the citizen education, technological development that favors this decrease.
                                  2. Education for all
                                    1. Educating the population, that without it, it is a utopia to try to solve the problems that we face and they get worse as time passes.
                                  3. Solutions to Climate Change
                                    1. Avoid using fossil fuels
                                      1. To reduce CO2 emissions: Alternative measures could be implemented to the use of oil, natural gas and coal, which emit greenhouse gases in their production and transport.
                                      2. Try to avoid using cars
                                        1. For example, moving the job closer to home or using public transportation. Encourage the use of the bicycle to travel on short trips, and thus save 30 grams of CO2 per 4.5 kilometers.
                                        2. Avoiding the use of hot water
                                          1. to heat water we need a lot of energy. Did you know that washing your clothes with cold water saves about 150 kilos of CO2?
                                          2. Buy products with recycled paper.
                                          3. Solutions against global warming
                                            1. Keep off what we don't use
                                              1. When we turn off everything that we do not use, instead of leaving it on for comfort, what we do is save thousands of kilos of carbon dioxide, the planet will thank you and we save money by the way
                                              2. Take care of nature and try to plant trees
                                                1. Plants are in simple words what gives us oxygen, without them and water basically life would not be possible in the world
                                                2. Keep your tires well inflated

                                                  2. recycle everything you can
                                                    1. bottles, containers, everything that can be recyclable would be of great help.
                                                    2. Reduce the use of light bulbs
                                                      1. It is better to use the compact fluorescent lamps that will save us about 400 kilos of carbon dioxide per year.
