This week's environment news

There have been a number of interesting environmental news stories this week. Here are some of the highlights:

- The Mexican Chamber of the Construction Industry of Nuevo Leon (CMIC) asked its affiliates to abide by the call of the Ministry of Environment to reduce polluting emissions generated by their activities, given the poor air quality registered in the entity.

- The Nuevo Leon Environment Secretariat announced that it will go to the Attorney General's Office to present evidence to strengthen the complaint against the Cadereyta refinery, which it accuses of being the main source of air pollution in the metropolitan area of Monterrey.

- A study by Spanish researchers estimated that Spain will have to spend 2.9 billion euros to adapt to climate change, considering the impacts on sectors such as agriculture, health, tourism, energy and transport.

- An international team of scientists found that sea levels in the Mediterranean are rising three times faster than expected, due to rising water temperatures and salinity, posing a risk to coastal areas and marine ecosystems.

- A breakthrough discovery by a Spanish company made it possible to recycle single-use bioplastics in 24 hours through a biological process that uses bacteria to degrade the material into water and biomass.

These are just some of this week's environmental news, but there are many more. If you want to keep up to date with what's going on in the world

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...

The importance of environmental education for sustainable development.

Environmental education for sustainable development is an educational process that seeks to form citizens who are aware, critical and committed to caring for the environment and the well-being of present and future generations. Environmental education for sustainable development has the following objectives: - To promote knowledge and understanding of environmental problems and their causes and consequences. - To develop the skills and attitudes necessary to participate in the prevention and solution of environmental problems. - To promote the values and ethics that underpin respect and responsibility towards the environment and society. - Stimulate creativity and innovation to generate alternatives for sustainable development. - Facilitate cooperation and solidarity between the different social and institutional actors involved in sustainable development. Environmental education for sustainable development is important because it contributes to: - Improving the quality of...
