practically everything is available a few steps from your villa and at any time.

is also close to work, and does not waste as much time nor money with the very
distant displacement.

especially in the current model of production and consumption. In many
places, garbage is dumped in so-called dumps, places without structure for the
treatment of waste. consequences are: odor, disease proliferation, soil and
water table contamination by slurry, etc. The emission of gases from
automobiles and factories pollutes the atmosphere and retains heat,
intensifying the greenhouse effect. With this, several disorders are generated
to the population: respiratory diseases, acid rains, thermal inversion, heat
islands, etc.
