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...

What is the decarbonised economy and why is it important?

The decarbonised economy is an economic model that seeks to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions into the atmosphere, which are the main cause of climate change and global warming. The aim of the decarbonised economy is to achieve climate neutrality, i.e. CO2 emissions equal to or less than nature's absorption capacity. To achieve a decarbonised economy, an energy transition is required, involving the use of renewable, clean and efficient energy sources to replace fossil fuels such as oil, coal or natural gas. It also requires a transformation of productive sectors, such as industry, transport, agriculture and construction, to adopt resource saving, efficiency and recycling measures. The decarbonised economy is an opportunity for sustainable development, innovation, competitiveness and job creation. It also contributes to improving health, quality of life and environmental protection. The European Union and several countries around the world have committed to achieving the decarbo...

Tips for a safe campfire: how to enjoy and take care of yourself in the heat

Hi, making a safe campfire is important to avoid accidents, fires and damage to the environment. Here are some tips you can follow: - Choose a suitable campfire site that has shade, ventilation and access to clean water. Avoid areas at risk of fire, flooding or pests. Respect the rules of the campsite and make sure that campfires are allowed. - Prepare a safety kit, including a fire extinguisher, shovel, blanket, first aid kit and telephone. Keep it near the campfire and check that it works properly. Learn how to use it in an emergency. - Create a ring of rocks around the campfire to act as a barrier and support. The rocks should be dry and clean, free of cracks and moisture. The ring should be at least 30 cm high and 15 cm wide. Leave a space for getting in and out of the campfire. - Collect firewood for the campfire, which should be dry, cut and unpainted. Use three types of firewood: tinder (small, easy-to-light materials such as paper, cardboard or cotton), fine firewood (thin, dry...
