Rodriguez Bodero Victor Hugo z What kind of environmental problems exist in your town? In my town the main contamination problem is the mining tailings that are made in the Tumbes River, contaminating the water that the people of Tumbes drink and with which they prepare food with metals. z z What do you do to protect the environment? ✓ Talk to the authorities so that they have better control over the mining companies. ✓ Carry out various activities to promote the proper use of water, and thus not waste it. ✓ Do not throw garbage in the street or in the rivers.
