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.]]> 2023-05-13 23:24:57 UTC https://padlet.com/walcalerosaa/y8hwmlmoc6dn63k8/wish/2589772612 Module 2, lesson 3 walcalerosaa https://padlet.com/walcalerosaa/y8hwmlmoc6dn63k8/wish/2589772872

1. What is the topic about?
It deals with the care that must be taken with the environment, in terms of the impact of the progress of infraestructura Works, it is to involve in new designs, construction models conserving our natural enviroment.
 
2. Why did you choose it?
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 this social topic is developed in the world?
 

Human action is the main cause of environmental impact, therefore the repercussions that these have on the environment have become evident and include:

-  Climate change, including global warming.

-  Acid rain, photochemical smog and other forms of pollution.

-  Ocean acidification.

-   Displacement/extinction of wildlife

-  Depletion of resources: forests, water, food

2. ¿How well-developed is the topic in Colombia? 
Deforestation is mainly due to the felling of trees, the expansion of the agricultural frontier, mining, the development of energy resources such as hydroelectricity, the development of infrastructure such as roads, buildings, cocaine production and small-scale agriculture. Therefore, it is urgent to mitigate the causes that affect us worldwide with this issue.]]> 2023-05-14 15:08:18 UTC https://padlet.com/walcalerosaa/y8hwmlmoc6dn63k8/wish/2590090214 The Society walcalerosaa https://padlet.com/walcalerosaa/y8hwmlmoc6dn63k8/wish/2590091954 Paragraph 2 - Question 3:

3. ¿What are some positive and negative views about this topic in Colombia?
 

Finally, the companies that decide to have a positive environmental impact are those that benefit the environment or that, in addition, mitigate the negative impact of others. However, the negative impact is one that damages the environment, such as pollution and loss of biodiversity, among others.

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.

2.       How can you contribute from your profession to this social topic? Why?


However, we can affirm that the industry is slowly changing its focus towards environmental concerns. Green building first is becoming a major trend today, supported by government programs and funds. Many companies have decided to invest in sustainable technologies such as solar energy or durable materials that help reduce waste and minimize energy use.

Due to this, options and practices are proposed to take into account during the construction process in the same way to reduce its impacts, among the proposals that are proposed are sustainable constructions that generate a minimum environmental impact that allow the correct functioning of life. and improve its quality and thus promote the rational and effective use of natural resources and materials for construction.

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.

2.      What are the ways to improve it inColombia? (conclusions)

Those who participate in the project should be encouraged to reinforce their level of awareness and knowledge, in relation to the negative impacts caused by the constructions. And it reaffirms that if they are reinforced to study and identify the main environmental effects caused by construction, environmental administration is improved.
