Helping the environment

  MarktherIdenfeld (Vanessa Guzmán Martínez)  Hello guys This is Vanessa I’ve been in MarktherIdenfeld, Franconia in Germany for three years, I travelled in plan and in bus to be here. The weather over here is cold and cloudy and I love it that’s why I travelled here: here is never hot. I’m here because I’m collaborating with “Bund für Umwelt und Naturschutz Deutschland e.V.” (BUND) translated to English is “Association for the Environment and Nature Conservation Germany e.V.”, but in their page you are gonna find “BUND - FRIENDS OF THE EARTH GERMANY”, this association exists since 1975.

GREENPACE (Danna Michelle Sanchez Flores) GREENPACE   About to turn fifty, it is perhaps the most important organization in environmental activism. An icon of the defense of the planet that has spent almost half a century defending causes such as biodiversity, the fight against climate change or the persecution of indiscriminate whaling, something that has become a true emblem for decades. With a presence in 55 countries and with almost three million members, the strength of its name resonates throughout the world, it is the most powerful environmental organization in the world. The impact of this campaign has been reflected throughout the 50 years that it has grown there has been more and more talk about the importance of preserving life on earth and of course this has caused a boom and openness to all those people who want to help the cause. I have stopped using the car when I go to nearby places. I have been separating the garbage. I have taken over , trying to always save wat...

  My diet saves the planet (María Fernanda Cruz Sanchez) Our appetite for meat and dairy is devastating the planet. Excessive meat consumption is promoted by a global industry of corporations and policies that put economic profit before our food health and that of the environment. Globally, 23% of Greenhouse Gas emissions come from agriculture, livestock and forest use. In Mexico, 15% of all emissions come from this sector. It's time to act! The impacts of this model of consumption and production are enormous, from the discharge of wastewater to the water table, deforestation and habitat loss of iconic species. The industry only puts economic profit before the health of consumers and the environment, and it is they who drive this model that increases greenhouse gas emissions and the planet's temperature. The answer is to put an end to this model of industrial production and opt for organic farming, which is a model that ensures healthy food, protects the soil, water and cl...

 "Reciclaton"   (Luis Alejandro Gallardo Gamez)  Technological progress has contributed to increasing the diversity and complexity of the waste that pollutes the environment. The great growth in the production of electrical and electronic equipment that, thanks to technological innovation and market globalization, accelerates its substitution and therefore its disposal, which produces tons of electronic waste daily. In Mexico there is little knowledge of the problem. A survey conducted in 2006 by Ipsos Mori in nine countries indicates that only 43% of a thousand respondents knew that personal computers and other electronic devices contain materials that are harmful to human health and the environment.  The project will take place in Mexico City, the weather is partly cloudy, and I will collaborate with "reciclatron", the purpose of this project is that people get rid of electronic waste, whether they are old computers or useless electronic devices from a responsible...
