I want to keep with the theme of recycling, or rather the theme of rejection of the evil represented by the terrible modern plastic. long been talking about the 3 R's: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle, but now are. include Respect and Decline, and the latter is what I bring to the light of day again. I have often written here that we must reject the plastic, but much still to get to have a town or a city or a clean plastic. Every day I see wrapped in plastic garbage in the streets and wonder: when will we learn to reject the plastic? " So today I want to share the efforts of people 100% committed to the task of removing the plastic world, to show that it is possible.
The mission of the Coalition Against Plastic Pollution is "to stop pollution from plastic and toxic impacts on humans, the environment and wildlife around the world "( http://plasticpollutioncoalition.org ). is an organization based in California and aims to raise public awareness about the problem of pollution by plastic, build a global community through a platform "for people and institutions to share resources and coordinate efforts"; BOOST CITIZEN ACTION trained to eliminate the consumption of plastic in all its forms LEGISLATIVE SUPPORT to require employers and government officials to assume their responsibility for handling rejection and plastic; Educating and informing the public the serious threat that plastic poses to their health, and support the Advancement of Science to promote the study of plastic pollution and possible solutions.
I share these goals because they explain what they mean by better words than mine. The message is the same for all citizens, no matter if you're in California or in Cuernavaca or Colchester. The task is the same as the local environment is the one that touches and impacts them and surely is full of junk whose main ingredient is the awful plastic.
yes people are moving in this direction and should be welcomed. However, few actually and urges us to join their efforts. An example of two people totally committed to this issue are on a blog called PlasticForever: http://plasticforever.blogspot.com . For 11 years Richard and Judith Selby Lang Lang have been collecting plastic from a beach called Kehoe Beach in California. have noticed the changes and trends in plastic products by the type of litter found and the high amount of certain products in certain moments. trash is worth mentioning that no is caused by visitors to the beach, but across the ocean to bring trash from other parts of the world, including from other countries. This garbage that comes to Kehoe Beach is transformed into sculpture, installation art, photos and even jewelry, thanks to the creativity of the couple Lang and other partners. Through their artwork to the public sent a clear message about the problem of plastic and inspire more people to get involved in the effort. On its website www.beachplastic.com find all the information.
Another example of efforts to get rid of plastic is the blog Plastic is Forever http://plasticisforever.blogspot.com/ , also in California. If some of my readers are teachers or mothers or fathers - or almost all of you who read this column - I invite you to see these posts because they can learn much, and they should share with their students and children. be surprised when they realize all groups and communities, organizations and individuals who have a strong commitment to combat the plastic. This problem belongs to everyone: open your eyes and see that we are surrounded by bags, packaging, cups, plates, toys and pieces of all kinds of plastic and this must end.
Remember: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Respect and, above all, rejection.

seems that the rains are over for this year. We got lucky because it rained enough for our needs in the State of Morelos and have access to water for the dry season is starting. However, it is very important not to lose our respect for the vital fluid: no way we should waste it, we do not know how we will play the next rainy season.
We do not have all the security of rain when we need it most, as was the case in the State of Zacatecas. If it rained a lot here, they rained very little there. They report that the lack of rain has affected more than 400 thousand hectares of crops, mainly beans and maize, which represents a critical situation for producers. Expected harvest 500 tons of beans, but it seems only be achieved 180 thousand. economic loss to the state is important and the ramifications for the bean market in the country are very serious: Zacatecas is the number one producer of beans in Mexico (El Financiero, 6.10.10). Obviously this will impact negatively on the prices of the staple, which will affect us all. worth mentioning that the national bean consumption is 1.2 million tonnes but with this crisis in Zacatecas will need to import at least 300 000 tonnes of other countries. is safe, therefore, that we are experiencing higher prices the coming months.
This inequality between the two states in terms of the amount of rain expected and received this year is nothing extraordinary. the contrary, it is sad that it is normal today suffer from droughts and floods in different regions of the country. water causes flooding and destruction to thousands of families who lose their heritage, as is the case of Veracruz. Drought destroys soil fertility and crop less and less in the Mexican countryside. Climate change affects not only the land and people, but has become a variable in the strategy any business or enterprise. is imperative that companies halve their emissions of harmful gases into the atmosphere. The cost of rebuilding houses and infrastructure affected by the hurricanes has become too important to the economy of the country. Doing nothing is not an option and mitigate the impacts of climate change remains the responsibility of all governments, entrepreneurs, academics, financial experts, adults and children, you and me ... we are all exposed to the consequences of disorders climate.
Mexican Carbon Program (PMC) which is a mechanism to coordinate research efforts related to the physical, chemical, biological and social aspects of the carbon cycle, which is the root of all problems associated with global warming. explains on its Web http://pmcarbono.org that "knowledge of the carbon cycle in our country and its relationship to Global Change is essential to solve many questions that science and society demand. know the state that holds mainly coal within the country's ecosystems is a priority. not only in terms of Mexico's contribution and its various sectors to total emissions of greenhouse gases, but also because one of the consequences of these emissions, climate change will specifically affect nations like ours. " The PMC then promotes and coordinates scientific research focused on the carbon cycle in Mexico, and promote public policy development related to mitigation and adaptation to climate change.
Hence the need to include everyone in this effort to mitigate the consequences of climate change. Adapting responsible water consumption is one many efforts and is key to our present and future welfare. We water today, yes. But we do not know how long we have to take ...
