  • What is your vision for a sustainable world?

For me a sustainable world is one in which we can meet our problems by not leaving the future generations without the resources to solve their own. Produce just the amount we need, use the territory just for important things not just for money, help others without expecting something, among other things.

  • What are you planning to do to make this vision a reality?

One of the most common problems now in day is the unusual amount of carbon dioxide in the environment. The CO2 generates an abnormal amount of energy in the atmosphere which is very dangerous for us. A way in which we could decrease the amount of CO2  is by creating awareness in the population of the advantages of having an electric car, is not only a good thing for the environment but also generates less expenses

  • What impact has colonization had on our journey to a sustainable planet?

We established in an indigenous territory and took control of it. We obtained the resources we needed and used it in our favor.

Great viewpoint about sustainability. Use what you need but do not put future generation in jeopardy. But how can we determine the right amount of what we need? it will be interesting to read about your idea of the "important things" we can use our territories for....:)

Have you considered how to implement your idea of allowing only electric cars on the road at rush hours..... when you do, please share.

Great sustainability ideas Gloria.

Thanks Sandra!!

Your question let me thinking and you are right, is realy hard for us to know how much we need.

By important things I mean like hospitals, schools, etc. Not just companies that the only thing they produce is contamination.

I realized that is maybe kind of hard to implement my idea so I changed it and I think that a better way of achiving it is by creating awareness in the population of the advantages of having an electric car, is not only a good thing for the environment but also generates less expenses
