This week's environmental news: environmental highlights

The environment is a very important and topical issue, affecting all living things and the planet. There is a lot of environmental news happening every week, related to climate change, biodiversity, pollution, energy, water, etc. Here I share with you some of the most relevant environmental news this week:

- Ideam forecasts more rain this week: The Institute of Hydrology, Meteorology and Environmental Studies, Ideam, predicted that rainfall will continue in much of the Colombian territory, due to the influence of the second rainy season and the presence of tropical waves. Ideam recommended to be alert for possible flash floods, landslides, floods and thunderstorms.

- Fernández-Pacheco assures that 40% of environmental authorisations will be resolved in five months with the administrative simplification: The Andalusian Minister of Sustainability, Juanma Moreno, affirmed that his department is the one that reduces the most bureaucracy, with 135 modifications, and defended that this is done while maintaining the "strict controls" to preserve the environment. According to the minister, administrative simplification will speed up environmental procedures and promote investment and employment.

- Environmental promoters were trained for a week, so that they are able to carry out the work of raising awareness among citizens: Around 300 volunteers collected organic and inorganic waste during the parade performed by the groups that participated in the native dance competition in Puno, Peru. The environmental promoters were trained for a week by the Provincial Municipality of Puno, so that they are able to carry out the work of raising awareness among citizens about the importance of caring for the environment.

These are some of this week's environmental news, but there are many more. If you want to know more, you can visit the links I have provided.

Sustainable recommendations for implementation

The environment is the set of natural and artificial elements that surround us and that allow us to live and develop. Caring for the environment is everyone's responsibility, as our health, our quality of life and our future depend on it. Some tips for caring for the environment are: - Save water, reduce its consumption and reuse it. Water is a vital and scarce resource that we must preserve. We can save water by turning off taps when we are not using them, taking showers instead of baths, watering plants in cooler hours, using efficient household appliances, collecting rainwater, etc. - Switch off lights and electronic devices when not in use to save energy. Electricity is mainly produced from fossil fuels which emit greenhouse gases and contribute to climate change. We can save energy by using energy-saving light bulbs or LEDs, taking advantage of natural light, unplugging chargers when we don't need them, using the energy saving mode on computers, etc. - Commit to renewabl...

Artificial intelligence has a much greater positive environmental impact than previously thought.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a technology that makes it possible to create systems capable of learning, reasoning and solving problems. However, it also has an environmental impact that should not be ignored. According to some studies, training a single AI model can generate an amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions similar to that of five cars over its lifetime. This is due to the high energy consumption of the computers and data centres that process the data needed for machine learning. However, AI can also contribute to reducing the carbon footprint of the technology sector and combating climate change, if used responsibly and sustainably. Some of the applications of AI that can help the environment include: - Creating more accurate and efficient climate models to predict and mitigate the effects of global warming. - Detecting and monitoring extreme events, such as droughts, fires, floods or hurricanes, and alerting vulnerable populations. - Measure and track the source and imp...

Tips for living beyond 120 years: The recipe for longevity

Living to 120 years is a possibility that many scientists and researchers are exploring, but that very few people manage to achieve. According to some experts, longevity depends on several factors, such as genetics, place of birth, living conditions and healthy habits. Some of the tips that have been given to live longer are: - Follow hormone replacement therapy from the age of 40 onwards, to restore hormonal balance and slow down ageing. - Eat a balanced diet, avoid overeating, drink alcohol in moderation and control overweight, obesity and diabetes. - Take care of the microbiome, which is the set of micro-organisms that live in our body and influence our health. - Control stress, get enough sleep and avoid emotional conflicts. - Take regular physical exercise to keep the body and brain active. - Take advantage of advances in stem cell research, which can repair organ and tissue damage. - Knowing the human genome, to understand genetic predisposition to certain diseases and how ...
