EVIDENCE: ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES

BY: MIGUEL ROJAS ATENCIO

 WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE PROBLEM?

•
I THINK WE MUST TAKE CARE OF WATER, THIS IS OUR MOST VALUABLE RESOURCE, WATER IS
VERY IMPORTANT SINCE WE USE IT EVERY DAY AND FOR ALMOST EVERYTHING, IT IS VITAL
BECAUSE WITHOUT IT WE CAN NOT LIVE, WE NEED TO TAKE CARE OF IT AND FOR THIS WE
NEED TO CONTAMINATE IT LESS POSSIBLE AND SAVE.
 WHAT WOULD BE A POSSIBLE SOLUTION FOR IT?

• WHAT CAN BE DONE FROM HOME?  HOW TO TAKE CARE OF THE ENVIROMENT?

 More than 7 billion people inhabit this beautiful Planet Earth, which provides us with all
the resources so that we can live fully. However, we still need to be aware of the

importance of caring for the environment.
• DO NOT LEAVE LEAKING TAP.
 The World Bank recently issued a report warning that serious action is needed to keep

of us and families do to care for the environment?
• MAKE SHORTER SHOWERS.
 At Alun-Co we are committed to sustainable living, so we want to tell you how to value
• RECYCLE THE WATER IN THE POOL TO WATER THE PLANTS OR THE SIDEWALK. our ecosystem even more
• WATER THE PLANTS JUST BEFORE SUNSET TO AVOID EVAPORATING THE WATER WITH THE
SUN.

• EXPLAIN TO THE CHILDREN ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF WATER FOR LIFE AND THAT IT IS A
SCARCE COMMODITY.

• TAKE GOOD ADVANTAGE OF EACH WASHING OF CLOTHES, OF COURSE IT IS NOT

CONVENIENT TO OVERLOAD THE WASHING MACHINE BUT IT IS NOT ADVISABLE TO DO A
WASH FOR THREE CLOTHES TO NOT WASTE WATER.
 3. DO YOU SEE THIS PROBLEM IN YOUR
COMMUNITY? WHAT DO PEOPLE DO ABOUT IT?
• CARING FOR AND PLANTING MORE TREES. ONE OF THE GREAT PROBLEMS IN THE EARTH OF THE TREES IN THE WORLD AND THESE BELOVED ONES THE INHABITANTS OF
SIDEWALKS, PARKS, SQUARES AND OTHER MULTIPLE SPACES ARE INDISPENSABLE TO THE LIFE BY AN OXYGEN AND ABSORB THE CARBON DIOXIDE.

• PLANTAR PLANTS AT HOME. IT IS IDEAL TO PLANT NATIVE SPECIES BECAUSE THEY WILL BE BETTER ADAPTED TO THE PLACE. IN THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF AGRICULTURAL
DEVELOPMENT (INTA) CAN GUIDE ON THE ISSUE.

• CREATE AN ORGANIC GARDEN AT HOME. AT ALUN-CO WE GIVE WORKSHOPS TO TRAINERS SUCH AS TEACHERS, NEIGHBORHOOD AND PRIVATE GROUPS.

• RECYCLING AND CLEANING. DO NOT THROW PAPERS OR WASTE IN PUBLIC SPACES. THROW THE GARBAGE IN THE CONTAINERS AND FOLLOW THE RULES OF RECYCLING
AND SEPARATION OF WASTE. WHERE POSSIBLE, USE ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY PRODUCTS.

• ECOSYSTEM. COLLABORATE WITH FIRE PREVENTION, USE GRILL PLACES AND NEVER THROW FLAMMABLE PRODUCTS, PAPERS OR CIGARETTE BUTTS ALONG THE ROUTE
BECAUSE THESE ACTIONS CAUSED FIRES IN RURAL AREAS WITH UNFORTUNATE LOSSES.

• TAKE CARE OF THE ANIMALS. AT THE FUNDACIÓN VIDA SILVESTRE YOU CAN FIND OUT WHICH ANIMALS ARE IN DANGER OF EXTINCTION IN ARGENTINA.

• ENERGY. ENCOURAGE THE USE OF THE BICYCLE AS A MEANS OF TRANSPORT WHEN POSSIBLE. USE SCHOOL TRANSPORTATION AT THE PRIVATE VEHICLE LOCATION TO
HELP REDUCE CARBON DIOXIDE EMISSIONS. TURN OFF LIGHT WHEN NOT IN USE, UNPLUG MICROWAVE, TV, AND OTHER APPLIANCES THAT CONSUME POWER WITHOUT
BEING TURNED OFF.
 4. WHAT WILL YOU DO IN THE FUTURE TO HELP
SOLVE THIS PROBLEM?

• TAKING CARE OF WATER IS TAKING CARE OF OUR FUTURE

• DUE TO HUMAN POPULATION GROWTH AND OTHER FACTORS, THE AVAILABILITY OF DRINKING WATER PER PERSON
IS DECLINING. THIS PROBLEM COULD BE SOLVED BY CHANGING OUR HABITS TO SAVE THIS NATURAL RESOURCE.

• THEREFORE, OUR COMPANY IMPLEMENTED A NOVEL WATER TREATMENT SYSTEM AT THE ILO PLANT, AND THEN AT
TAMBO DE MORA, WITH POSITIVE RESULTS.

• THIS TREATMENT HAS THE ADVANTAGE OF REUSING WASTEWATER FOR THE IRRIGATION OF GREEN AREAS, SO WE
MAKE THE MOST OF THIS NATURAL RESOURCE AND CONTRIBUTE TO THE CARE OF OUR GARDENS.

• CURRENTLY, OUR COMPANY HAS DECIDED TO EXTEND THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS NEW WATER TREATMENT
TECHNOLOGY TO THE VÉGUETA, MALABRIGO AND COISHCO PLANTS.
