Medio Ambiente

In recent decades, the destruction and deterioration of the environment are frequent, but this is the negative and destructive intervention we are doing humans. Everything happens for a lack ofawareness that manage natural resources and in doing so end up ruining our planet.
In this video we will talk about the destruction of the soil and air produced by the piles of trash, known as"Landfills"

In Chile, each person generates about one kilogram of trash daily, according to the National Environment Commission

Landfills either causepollution to air, land or water, adverse effects on public health for the possible transmission of infectious diseases by rodents that inhabit, degradation of the marine environment and landscape impact.Also represent a waste of resources and energy that could be used and a space, which cannot be recovered
