What is your vision for a sustainable world?
We think in a sustainable world we would have to learn more about how the Earth works and to save energy and natural resources by doing simple things, like using more often public transportation, supporting environmental friendly companies, reusing our things for example owing a cellphone for a bit longer or only buying another one according to our own needs, avoiding other kings of consumerism, recycling... Developing more environmental friendly technologies is also very important and we can help them by donations and supporting them. In a sustainable worls, we would care more about the effects on the evironment caused by us and would learn to avoid making negative impact on Earth.

What are you planning to do to make this vision a reality?
To make the plan reality it's necessary to ensure sufficient natural resources to meet the needs of future generations. It's to make today so that in the future we're guaranteed to provide a better quality of life for the next generations. Being environmentally responsible  it's to be aware that life dependes on small gestures and to make the simple act of planting a tree. It's to be aware that the environment needs the collaboration of all, acting to improve living conditions, not waste water, anergy and avoiding increased pollution, avoiding waste (water, energy, food), making selective collection of what would be trash, plant aven in minimal spaces, reusing packaging and, above all, respecting all beings. Adopting our daily actions that help to preserve nature and to avoid waste.

-Recycling of garbage material (plastic, metals, paper);
-Composting, transforming organic waste into fertilizer;
-Decreasing energy consumption: take quick baths, turn off lights from rooms that gave no people, opt for energy-saving appliances;
-Taking ecological bags to the supermarket, not using the plastic bags offered;
-Urinating during the bath: this way you can save water from the toilet flush;
-Decreasing the printing of documents and use recycable paper;
-Changing the individual transporte by collective or bicycle. Another solution is to opt for hybrid cars;
-Not discarding fry oil in the kitchen sink;
-Choosing, where possible, the consumption of organics fruits, vegetables and legumes;
Buying certified wood forniture;
-Using eletronic or LED bulbs, as they consume less eletricity than incandescentes;
-Using solar heaters indoors, as they reduce the consumption of electricy.

What impact has colonization had on our jorney to a sustainable world?
The colonization has made some people sloopier when it comes to the envoronment, it has "taught" us to takes as much natural resources as we can to increase the industrial prodution and make higher profits withougt thinks about replacement or lack of those resourses. We can still meet people tho think the natural resourses are endless and there will always be for the next generation, then there are people who explore natural resourses predatorily and it's a big challenge to show them the negative impact they may cause or to convice them to give up more profits protect the enviroment.
