Are you sorry for our future generation? /Rafael González

Are you sorry for our future generation? / Rafael González 


What I understood in the video was that the world is being affected by the contamination due to the bad people who are not colabarando on this issue and many people feel sad and very bad for what is happening to the world and at the same time what is happening to our future generation around the world. This video reflects Africa affected and I saw several families injured and destroyed by pollution and the good thing about this video is that it reflects the bad citation for what is happening to the world now and you can take advantage of this video by that many people see it to help and collaborate and together we can make a better world.

what can we do to solve the land pollution ?

What can we do to solve the land pollution?


what can we do to solve the pollution of the earth?

What can we do to solve the land pollution? / Rafael González.

To avoid contamination of the soil, that is to say that it is getting worse and to reduce the already present, it is necessary to take into account what are the possible solutions for soil contamination. So, these are some points to keep in mind to achieve it:

-Reduce: we must remember the 3R of ecology and start by reducing the amount of materials and goods we consume, we must take responsibility and only consume what is necessary to not waste because waste and waste pollute and accelerate the wear and tear of the planet. So, start by reducing and saving on energy, materials, food and other products.

-Reuse: the next R is to reuse. It is important that each product we have on hand we use as much as possible, extending its life and utility to the fullest. This greatly reduces the consumption and misuse of resources.

-Recycling: finally, the third R reminds us that we must recycle materials when we can no longer reuse them. In this way they will be treated in special recycling plants and this material will return to its basic state to re-manufacture another new product, which we will give the maximum use. With these first three steps, soil contamination is considerably reduced.

-Avoid contaminated water: to water the plants and the garden always use clean water, to avoid polluting discharges into the ground. If you collect water from the rain, which is a very common ecological practice, make sure it is not acid rainwater or, of course, use water used to clean the home
or clothes that carry soaps.


-Help to clean affected areas: finally, when a land begins to be contaminated it is vital that we help to stop the origin of the contamination and to clean the area, as well as if in case it is a very polluted land we act in the same way so that it does not continue to get worse and go away solving.

Solutions for Land Pollution


1. Buy BIODEGRADABLE products:

Buying biodegradable products will help the land to decompose it faster and it doesn’t pollute as much as other products. In addition, this kind of products can be easily broken down by microorganisms (such as bacteria and fungi) into water, CO2, and bio-material. In fact, biodegradable plastic production take 65% less energy than required to produce petroleum-based plastic. So if we buy biodegradable products, then we would produce 68% less green house gasses than if if we buy regular plastic products. Finally, if we buy this kind of products we even can make composting. 

2. Plant more number of trees:

As we know, CO2 is one of the major contributing green house gasses, but if we pant more trees, then CO2 can be trapped and  transformed into carbohydrates that are used for plant growth. For instance, mature trees can absorb about 48 pounds of CO2 a year. Also, trees help to reduce ozone levels in urban areas and even absorbe the sound and as well reduce noise pollution. Finally, they reduce the runoff and erosion by storing water and braking down the force of rain as it falls.

Solutions for Air Contamination

Some of the solutions for the problems of air pollution are, in the case of strong paints, the best would be to choose to use natural materials and ventilate the space in which the paint is being used. On the other hand, the problem of burning fuel could influence the use of bicycles, skates, walking or any transport that does not need gasoline or fuel. As for the strong aerosols, other types of aromatizers such as aromatic candles could be used. Finally, for the smoke created by the stoves, ovens and other appliances, more plants could be planted either inside or outside the area (depending on the location) since the plants help to eliminate contaminated air.

C. Description:


This volcano was formed thousands of years ago by a mantle plume in the Pacific. For being more specific, it formed when the Pacific plate moved over the Hawaii hot spot. In now days it is in an activated state. In addition, it is considered the world's largest active volcano and it covers more than the 50% of Hawaii island. The Mauna Loa is 500 times grater than the Mt. Rainer volcano in Washington state. Its name means "long mountain" in the Hawaiian language. The oldest rocks found in this volcano have been dated from 100,000 and 200,000 years of existance. Finally, in its last eruption about 4.5 miles of lava.
