Planet in Danger. How to Protect Our Common Home for Generations to Come. - E-book - ePub

The planet we inhabit is our common home, the place where we are born, grow, live and die. It is also home to millions of other species that share this finite and wondrous space with us. However, our planet is in danger. It is suffering the consequences of our irresponsible, selfish and unsustainable actions. We are altering the climate, destroying biodiversity, polluting the air, water and soil, and depleting the natural resources that sustain life.
We are putting our own survival and that of future generations at risk. What can we do to avoid this disaster? How can we protect our planet so that it remains a livable and dignified place for everyone? What responsibility do we have as individuals, as companies and as governments? These are some of the questions we will try to answer in this book. We do not intend to offer magical solutions or infallible recipes, but rather to reflect on the environmental problems that affect us and propose concrete and sustainable actions that we can carry out from our sphere of influence.
We want to contribute to creating an ecological conscience and an active citizenry committed to caring for the planet. This book is divided into five chapters that address the main issues related to protecting the planet: climate change, biodiversity loss, pollution, natural resources, and social and environmental responsibility. In each chapter we will explain what the problem is, what its causes and consequences are, and what we can do to solve it.
We will also include data, examples and recommendations to help us better understand the situation and make informed decisions. We hope that this book will be of interest to you and that it will motivate you to participate in the defense of our common home for generations to come.
