20 Ideias Para Girar O Mundo - Tiao santos

Sustainability is a very difficult word. Hard not for being a new word but I think it is because sustainability is something very complex. NATIONAL COORDINATOR OF "LIMPA BRASIL" AWARD "FAZ DIFEREN�A" THE GLOBO PRESIDENT OF THE ASSOCIATION OF "CATADORES DO ATERRO METROPOLITANO" OF JARDIM GRAMACHO ACAMJ BRAZILIAN REPRESENTATIVE THAT WILL CARRY THE OLYMPIC TORCH IN THE LONDON OLYMPICS MEMBER OF THE NATIONAL COMMISSION OF THE NATIONAL MOVEMENT OF COLLECTORS OF RECYCLABLE MATERIALS Lately people use the sustainability for everything. I define sustainability that at least she has to she has to meet at least three pillars that I think it's important which is the economic social issues and the environmental issue. If I were to teach a child, I think I would teach this: to separate their waste in their home which is recycled of which is not to plant a tree to preserve a tree to care for the animals I think this is greater understanding that a child may have of what is sustainability. And these actions, which many people can find small are actions of good citizenship which ends up creating a better citizen that will think when he has a greater social inclusion of these people, in a more just society. But I think that for a child the fundamental is for you to teach her to preserve the environment and consequently the human life and the life fauna and flora. For Brazil to be sustainable we had at least at least begin to address a small issue which is today the waste in Brazil and the world it is a big problem and, when dealing with Brazil, and then the +20 will happen here I think that Brazil had to start to think in the treatment of waste and its complexity ... that is the social and environmental issues that surrounds the waste in Brazil nowadays. So Brazil wants to discuss the mitigation of greenhouse gases where we still throw 95% of our waste in open dumps. How to discuss mitigation of greenhouse gases where you have an open dump, throwing CO2 and Methane 24 hours in the atmosphere? Where people do not separate the fate of their waste properly? How you reach to a Germany France, or to any overdeveloped country where Recycling is a reality like Spain and other countries in Europe And tell them: look Germany, France, Spain, among other countries, you need to decrease your quantity of greenhouse effect gases. And of course if I'm one of these countries I would respond: Brazil, you need to start to treat your waste which does not happen yet. So I think Brazil has to target small and hit big. I think it's a great opportunity to discuss the national waste policy and social inclusion of scavengers within this policy the reverse logistics the treatment of esidues inside a integrated management, where society, the public and private power have their obligations ratified and very explicit obligations of what each has to do within its role I think this is Brazil's role, to discuss what we have less discussed nowadays which is the waste problem. I think that the commoc citizen, for him as well it is not hard, no. Like I said, I gave a simple hint. The fact that you separate your residue fro what is recyclableand what is not recyclable in your house you will be generating work and income for a historically excluded population which is the population of ... that are millions of collectors of recyclable materials you will be saving the natural resources though recycling these residues that are potentially recyclable. So, in other words, you are helping the environment. Look how much you've done: you've done the social that is to help collectors you saved natural resources, you helped the environment and economically you will be transforming into work income and citizenship, not only for the collectors but also ... throughout the recycling production chain . Then you reached the Three goals: social environmental and economic. So I think that the fact of people just separating their residue within their home practicing the selective collection and recycling is already helping a lot. Among other things you save energy decreasing the amount of lights on choosing the appliance that use the minimum electric energy possible. I think today there is a range of things small actions that together become big. What I feel from people is that they come to speak: Ah, an aluminum or a plastic bottle what difference does that make? It makes a lot. Because in the world we are 7 billion people. If everyone decides to throw away one can and one bottle there will be 7 billion cans 7 billion bottles they are 7 billion bottles of any other type of plastic. So people sometimes think that a small attitude doesn't make a difference but it does. I think this it is the hint I give to people it is a small gesture but when we add the amount of people which take this approach it becomes a very big attitude. 255:255:255:255 255:255:255:255 *END PART 1*
