Inspiring Global Change: The Luceros del Amanecer Home Foundation and Environmental Awareness
In Camoapa in the last 19 years, we have reached incredibly astonishing heat temperatures, we hear hundreds of people complaining and saying: firstly, «They can’t stand the heat anymore, secondly, fans are no longer a solution, In addition, the volumes of garbage in the center of the City double the effort and work of the employees of the municipal mayor’s office..
It is sad to know the rural areas and observe:
- The indiscriminate deforestation,
- the forests converted into pastures,
- The grasslands that were once green are today yellow
- The rivers and streams do not conserve water the same as before,
only a reduced water flow in the winter season,
All of this, we mention the main causes:
- environmental contempt,
- human perversity,
- lack of awareness
- and Destructive action against nature.
