"Society and social problems"

Consciously and responsibly from my professional career, I must aim to reduce the negative impact on the environment when carrying out general works projects that improve it directly and indirectly, carrying out studies taking into account regulations on the proper management where the existing flora and fauna is involved, taking as a first instance the appropriate permits for their intervention, delving into the type of base land to start an infrastructure design, managing to conserve as much of it, guaranteeing access areas for material and equipment without producing a negative impact on the environment. At the end of the projects, the intervention of social work is important, training owners and inhabitants on the proper use of the delivered infrastructure, its maintenance and conservation of the environment.

In the environment where I work, infraestructura projects are developed, during the process it is evident that many wild animals are looking for a way out of a hábitat that is narrower every day, later due to more flora and fauna controls that are carried out, it is not enough to mitigate great damage to our environment.

3. Why is it relevant in society?

The theme invites us to speak the same language, with the advancement of infraestructura, we forget that space is generous to build and narrow to coexist with all that is natural. Then we must be hand in hand with the environment.

1.      How is your profession related to this social topic? Why?

As I said in the previous topic, my current profession deals with the development of infrastructure works, exercising the role of controller, therefore, the construction sector is one of the largest exploiters of resources, and half of them are non-profit. renewables, contributes to 23% of air pollution, 40% of drinking water pollution, and 50% of waste in landfills. In addition, the sector consumes 40% of the world's use of raw stones, gravel and sand, and 25% of its virgin wood per year, therefore these figures are alarming.

1.      ¿What are your final thoughts about the topic?

Finally, we who belong to the union of engineers and builders in general, do not prioritize the environment, we want a finished work at all costs. Additionally, there is a certain time to carry out the project, therefore complying with this is the most important thing. Thinking about building without taking into account the damage caused to nature is a huge problem, because what good is it for us to have excellent buildings, roads and highways without the resources and natural spaces that every human being needs to live.
