Recuperando la presa del Capulín para el día mundial de los océanos
Tierra, plástico, tapetes, árboles, bolsas, unicel, agua… todo conviviendo en el mismo espacio.
Nosotros como habitantes de la Ciudad de México, una de las megalópolis más grandes del mundo, tenemos una gran responsabilidad en cuanto a los residuos que se generan al interior de la ciudad. Toda la basura que generamos día a día y sacamos de nuestras casas, desaparece de nuestra realidad cercana más no del plantea. Tristemente las áreas naturales y en particular los océanos se han convertido al pasar los años en los vertederos designados de todo aquello que llamamos basura. Las ciudades son en gran medida responsables sobre las graves afectaciones sobre ecosistemas terrestres y marinos a nivel nacional.
Cleaning up the Capulín Dam for World Oceans Day in Mexico
Earth, plastic, mats, trees, bags, water … all coexisting in the same space.
We, as inhabitants of Mexico City, one of the largest metropolises in the world, have a great responsibility regarding the waste generated within the city. All the garbage that we generate day by day, and that we remove from our houses, disappears from our near reality but not from the larger world. Sadly, natural areas, the oceans in particular, have become designated dumps of everything we call garbage. Cities are largely responsible for the serious effects this has on terrestrial and marine ecosystems at all levels.
