World Environment Day, 2020

TODAY, June 5th is World Environment Day!

The day is celebrated to raise global awareness about the significance of a healthy environment and to solve various environmental issues by implementing some actions to protect nature and Earth.

This is our contribution

PUERTO AMOR, This was my favorite place in Colombia, I always went with my father.

Nevertheless, the oil company in my city decided to close it and contaminate it with its chemicals. I would give up and I wouldn't do anything if this meant that there is nothing more to do. I would stop ignoring if this led us to change something. I would keep on living my life if everything that is happening in the world did not affect me, but it is impossible.

If you and I put our bit we will start with the change and we will help that the landscapes are not contaminated.

That our environment is dying and that we have to do something to stop it, it’s a fact. What it’s also a fact is that nowadays more and more people are aware of this and trying to help, even with small actions.

I love going to the beach, I go a lot with my family, but I’m aware of the pollution that it can cause, and all the danger that this environment is in. I would give up going to the beach if this meant that all that pollution disappeared, but I know that that’s not only up to me. I’d also stop eating fish at the beach’s bars if this led us to stop the massive fishing, specially in summer, and even knowing that, once again, it’s not only up to me, I always try to bring my own food from home. If I lived closer to the beach, I would participate in volunteering to collect plastics on the shore and sand.

I will keep on helping in all the ways that I can, because although I don’t live near the beach and I can’t participate in volunteering, every time I go I pick up my own litter and the one that I see around me, I will keep bringing my own food from home, because even though it’s not something big, if more people do it we can contribute to reduce massive fishing. We can’t do this by our own, but if we all work together, we can help saving our home, because if we don’t care about our own planet, who will?

LUCÍA SÁNCHEZ MARTÍNEZ

Firstly, even if this first comment is not connected to the photo I sent, I’d like to share one thing that has been in my head for a long time (a little bit influenced by my sister). This thing is the fact that I would give up eating meat if this meant that the pollution and animal exploitiation. This is a fact, if we reduced our meat ingestion, the environment would improve significantly, but not everyone is up to do it. I’m included in that “not everyone can do it” group, but I know I will eventually stop eating meat because it’s more important to me to contribute to solve this problem.

The next thing (now this is related to the photo) is that I would stop buying plastic envased products is this led us to a significant improvement of the seas and oceans condition. It’s obvious that plastic in the oceans is a mortal problem to a lot of animal species that die choked daily. This is heartbreaking.

I would keep on picking litter I see on the floor if this means that someday we will walk withoutseeing trash. Sometimes I pick the things I see on the floor everytime I can, but that doesn’t mean all the time because I don’t go out with a broom with me. However, I always clean the beach if I see litter.

Finally, whether people do these things or not everyone needs to do them. I would try to change the minds of the people that are close to me. If we keep this “chain”, maybe we can achieve something.

The photo is taken on the Almuñécar beach. It is one of my favorite places, since it is an area that, without being too far from where I live, is very beautiful and pleasant, and also I do not find anyone I know, they are all advantages.

However, there are areas that are full of garbage and no one cleans them, even in the squares. And yes, I am aware that I also polluted by car, but I would stop going if this led to a significant change. I could stay anywhere else nearby and go on foot. I would continue cleaning those areas if anyone could help me, I am not afraid of trash. I'd even stop eating snacks if this leads to much less pollution, and not just when I'm there.

Whether we like to produce a large amount of waste (directly or indirectly) or not, we must all be aware of what is happening and we must all work together to help solve this globalproblem.

ALBA IBÁÑEZ LÓPEZ

In a selfish world full of pollution and individualism without place for ecologism and empathy, I would give up my first-world privileges if this meant (that) we will a chance to save our mountains and trees.

I would stop travelling if this led us to the extinction of millions of animals and plants.

I would keep on fighting for the environment if that means we're going to have a future for the next generations.

Even though only one tree were left standing, I would still fight for our planet and all the beings that live on it.

à LEX MOLINA PÉREZ

I would give up living in the city if this meant to be able to see these views every day.

I would stop breathing if this led us to save our world and the species that live there.

I would keep on insisting to change our attitude if I knew this would help.

Whether I had to choose between saving landscapes like this or saving myself, I would choose to save landscapes like this because a person lives for a while but landscapes live forever.

Ă LVARO RUIZ LĂ“PEZ

This is my favourite spot in the mountains, it is located in Sierra Nevada and specifically it’s near Virgen de las Nieves.

I love going to Sierra Nevada and enjoying the awesome views but I also love do hiking there. That’s why I would give up using private transport and always use public transport if this meant that these mountains wouldn’t ever “die”.

Also I would stop using plastic objects if this led us to stop the global warming. I would keep on recycling if it helped in restoring the planet as it was before. Whether people didn’t want to recycle plastic and other objects voluntarily I would create a movement to convince them it is worth it.
