“The world has the
enough for the necessity of the man, doesn’t have for his avarice”, Mahatma
Gandhi. Hello my name is Emmanuel Hernandez Bartolo. I’m 16 years old. I’m
from Huejutla, Hidalgo, Mexico. I’m studying the 4° semester of high school. At
a moment I will say you what is for me the sustainable development. From beginning
of the humanity, the man has satisfied his needs, getting all resources
necessary from nature. Nevertheless there is a possibility that these it will
exhaust. Effectively, the resources are abundant, and for a moment we had
believed that these were almost unlimited, but the humanity has begun realizes
that are finite and is necessary reduce your consumption. This is where it gets
in the sustainable development. Well then the sustainable development is
satisfy the needs of the current generations without compromise the possibilities
of satisfy the needs from next generations.
In
1798 Thomas Robert Malthus exposes the idea of balance between the population
and the means of subsistence. That is to say, that is not convenient that the
population grow up if the means of subsistence was not there insured. Nowadays
said balances not only have broken if not that the increase of population is
much accelerated. And with it the increase of demand, affecting so not only the
environment in which we live if not each organism that live in it, provoking
the extinction of different species, increasing pollution of atmosphere, the
floors and water. Is necessary implement a plan of development since with the
step we takes not only the next generations will have problems if not also current
generation. If just when cutting a tree, we plant five trees or we reuse the
water of washing machine to wash the street or the floor our house. I know they
are little actions that maybe not provoke anything, nevertheless we are
contributing with the change little by little. Everybody wants a change but
anybody doesn't want to do something for change. For to give the first
step we must change, preserving the values, firstly to love for the nature
since as before I said, it offers us different serves, from providing oxygen,
regulation of temperature and provision of water among others. Talking of values
implies many aspects related with care of environment that include current biodiversity,
apparently we have with a large number of species, but this diversity it have
gone decrease with the actions irresponsibility of the humans that he have lost
respect towards this, overexploiting the
resources. Only in previous years they have registered 45 species extinct and
475 in danger of extinction. What are we making to our world? It’s time to
think, to reflect. Do you really want a world like this for the next
generations? I don’t think so, it's time to take an action and apply strategies
to counter consequences negatives and the principal actor of this change is you.
Taking care environment.
