Feel free to write notes/ reminders to future generations telling them what they should or shouldn’t do, based on mistakes made by past generations, so as to make the world a better and fair place to live.]]> 2022-06-26 19:57:14 UTC https://padlet.com/thaisbarreto/suvnixdowwzmy85l/wish/2230769465 Gabriel do Nascimento https://padlet.com/thaisbarreto/suvnixdowwzmy85l/wish/2230774630 In the past decades, humanity has ignored the signs that nature has shown that aggressive industrial advances and economic practices (such as illegal fishing) were deteriorating the environment. It is the duty of the human being to treat his surroundings carefully, meaning that we should not mistreat nature just because ''it will take a long time for it to end'', because future generations will still be here, and we must ensure their stay on Earth.]]> 2022-06-26 20:14:06 UTC https://padlet.com/thaisbarreto/suvnixdowwzmy85l/wish/2230774630 Gabriel do Nascimento https://padlet.com/thaisbarreto/suvnixdowwzmy85l/wish/2230779290 Checking your carbon footprint monthly is a way to measure how impactful your habits and lifestyle are being in nature. Less industrialized foods emit less carbon in their production, as do electric vehicles, which do not carry out combustion, so they do not disperse polluting gases into the atmosphere. However, the government needs to provide the population with the means to reduce the carbon footprint, such as lowering taxes on electric vehicles that, currently in Brazil, are higher than those on combustion vehicles.]]> 2022-06-26 20:30:32 UTC https://padlet.com/thaisbarreto/suvnixdowwzmy85l/wish/2230779290 Gabriel do Nascimento https://padlet.com/thaisbarreto/suvnixdowwzmy85l/wish/2230782534 When the way of thinking changes, habits change, and when habits change, society changes. If consumers of a certain product tend to look for more ecologically good products (which affect nature less), the industry of this product is obliged to produce differently, and when the industry changes production, the government is obliged to change its laws and public policies in order to ensure socioeconomic order, demonstrating that something that starts small becomes large and notorious. It is important that each one does his or her part, even if it is simply not to buy a pizza or car of the moment, because these acts have a share in the emission of polluting gases that, in the future, have completely destroyed nature, along with illegal economic practices, such as deforestation, requiring all sectors of society to take initiative so that the preservation of the environment is effective,   thus making the future a better place.]]> 2022-06-26 20:39:54 UTC https://padlet.com/thaisbarreto/suvnixdowwzmy85l/wish/2230782534 Victor Hugo Monteiro https://padlet.com/thaisbarreto/suvnixdowwzmy85l/wish/2235324243 If I have to say something to save us in the future, its gonna be to plant trees! Its looks kinda generic, but unfortunately almost no one knows it. Planting trees helps in the fixing of the atmospheric carbon to turn into ne trees! And besides it helps against the ocean acidification, cuz the less carbon in the atmosphere, lower is the ocean acidification. Also, the trees helps a lot at the evapotranspiration, which is 80% the cause of the rains. For example, at Amazônia, if we cut down the trees, places like rio de janeiro, Sâo Paulo and Minas Gerais will be turn into a desert and we can't get energy by dams cause of the lack of rains! SO, PLANT TREES AND THINK HOW YOU CAN BECOME THE GROUND FERTILE WITHOUT HARMING THE ENVIRONMENT!!!!]]> 2022-07-01 22:00:11 UTC https://padlet.com/thaisbarreto/suvnixdowwzmy85l/wish/2235324243 The increased use of plastic in the pandemic. https://padlet.com/thaisbarreto/suvnixdowwzmy85l/wish/2235932842 The use of disposable hospital material such as masks and gloves has increased a lot with the coronavirus pandemic
The volume of plastic waste is quite problematic in a country where only 1.28% of this material is recycled

Some solutions to the problem are:

-Refuse disposables in delivery orders.
-Prefer to use returnable bags.
-Take a reusable bottle in your bag.
-Say no to plastic straws.
-Use a cloth bag or put the fruits, vegetables and vegetables straight into the basket.

Today I'm gonna to remind what the future generations should do to help the environment, it's save water. They really should save water, because is something that we can lose in a future day. The water is a resource indispensable for our survival. And it's important remember that the water on the planet is infinite, but potable water may one day run out. Some solutions are: turn off the faucet while brushing your teeth, turn off the shower while not using the water, try to cut down on bath time and etc... So, the future generations should save water and try to don't waste it. ]]> 2022-07-04 02:41:09 UTC https://padlet.com/thaisbarreto/suvnixdowwzmy85l/wish/2236114775 https://padlet.com/thaisbarreto/suvnixdowwzmy85l/wish/2237405675 The best way to save our Planet is everybody openening their minds and changing attitudes. If we want a better place to live in the future, we have to start now. 
 One thing we could do is go walking to school or work. If it's far from your home you can use a bike, doing this you won't pollute the air:) .
 We should separate the rubbish in recycling bins and compost food waste, this helps a lot! 
 Planting trees, saving water, using rechargeable batteries, traveling by public transport, all of this actions make a big difference in the environment.
 If we turn green day by day, our Planet will be a better place to live and the future generations will thank us a lot. ♡ ]]> 2022-07-05 17:06:54 UTC https://padlet.com/thaisbarreto/suvnixdowwzmy85l/wish/2237405675 drielylourencosilva https://padlet.com/thaisbarreto/suvnixdowwzmy85l/wish/2237566272 In recent years, the use of non-renewable natural resources has increased on a big scale. And with that, concerns about the future generations
 Petroleum is used mainly in the form of automotive fuels, such as gasoline and diesel oil, and is also burned in the operation of thermoelectric plants. It's considered a non-renewable natural resource, that is, it has no (finite) regenerative capacity. Currently, about 40% of primary energy (originating from nature) comes from oil. The problem is also that its use causes negative impacts on the planet, such as:
● The lower the availability of these fuels, due to the intense use of their reservoirs, the higher their prices in the market.
● They're related to various environmental problems, as the emission of polluting gases into the atmosphere, (contributing to the increase in the greenhouse effect)
● Storage and extraction errors, for example, of natural gas and oil can cause numerous and serious problems both for the environment and for health.
Solutions:
● Use public transport more often (better choice than a single person car)
● Avoid buying petroleum based products (polystyrene foam, disposable ballpoint pens, gum...)
● Buy organic fruits and vegetables (many fertilizers and pesticides are petroleum based)
● Buy clothes made with natural fibers, not synthetics
● Install some renewable energy source in your home (solar panels)]]> 2022-07-05 23:49:34 UTC https://padlet.com/thaisbarreto/suvnixdowwzmy85l/wish/2237566272 We all know that planet Earth is not doing well! We are closely monitoring climate change and unfortunately we are directly suffering from the impact we have had on the planet. But we can change this situation. For starters, the future generation needs to do different from us and take better care of the planet, some examples that the future generation could do would be change some bad habits that we do like, reduce illegal fishing, use less cars, be less consumerist and reduce water consumption. But of course, there are still many other bad habits that are destroying our planet, but with each one doing their part we can change the future of the planet. https://padlet.com/thaisbarreto/suvnixdowwzmy85l/wish/2238332006 2022-07-06 20:03:27 UTC https://padlet.com/thaisbarreto/suvnixdowwzmy85l/wish/2238332006 Giovanna Fassini- Save water, please https://padlet.com/thaisbarreto/suvnixdowwzmy85l/wish/2240005275 As we know, water has always been an essential element for humans, not only for survive, but for cooking, personal hygiene, and other common things in our daily life.
In our 20s, we already have the conscience that we need to save water, because we actually have only 2% of the world's water to consume and it isn't forever. Here are some habits that, if changed, will save more water for more time:

 - Take long showers 
 - Wash your car with the hose
 - Brush your teeth with the tap opened 
 - Wash your sidewalk with the hose
 - Don't take care of leaks on your house

We did all these things for a long time without thinking about our planet and started to have consequences. Hope that my text helps you there, bye!
