May Galván 4/23/2019 8:54 PMTrees generate the oxygen that allows us to be alive and that makes us feel good, they also take care of purifying it, of forming fertile soils so that we can give them an adequate and sustainable use, they help with erosion, help clean rivers and they are also a refuge for a lot of fauna, they help us to have shade and cover us from the sun and they make us happy because they look beautiful in the landscape, they give us peace and tranquility. -

REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Reduce Animal ProductsIn your opinion, what contributes to people in North America eating more meat than any other countries? What does this say about North American values and ways of living?
May Galván 4/23/2019 8:34 PMLivestock is the sector that most pollutes in North America. Specifically, in the United States, the consumption of this product is very high. The impact that this sector generates in the environment is highly negative, this is due to the way of consumption and also the waste that is generated. All this tells us the the lack of environmental awareness of the country.
