How To Migrate On Sou

act ruthlessly

In a place like the Canary Islands, where the main industry is tourism, those in power should, as a priority, environmental monitoring related to catering companies, wherever they go, consume, waste generated Thousands of people each year. And if by chance it already exists, should be strongly reinforced. Regardless. The hotels, especially, are establishments that are consumed every day amounts enormous energy, water, waste is dumped indiscriminately and irresponsibly acted with nature and the environment.

All this despite the fact that many establishments there are some "small" little signs in which admonishes the guests to be respectful to the water consumption and the use of towels. Should consider whether it is true that tourists, warned by these tiny posters are consistent with what they are warned.

But let's be more specific. I recently had to spend a night in a hotel in San Sebastian de La Gomera. The climate in the capital of the island was wonderful. Showed peaceful sunset and opened the large window of my room overlooking a magnificent public garden. After a few minutes I noticed that the piece was full of annoying mosquitoes. I was forced to close the window. As night fell, the heat increased considerably and I had to connect the air conditioning.

I wonder if the simple installation of windows, mosquito nets, which allow the passage of air and no insects, not reduce energy expenditure involved eight or ten hours of artificial refrigeration. But the question that worries me most is related to the environmental awareness of the facility managers, are they aware of the ecological attack on it is to have air conditioning, when really no need, in many rooms at once?

Some problems are easier to solve if you put your intention. But it is much easier to press a button for convenience. In the Canaries, more than any other side (99% dependent on fossil fuel) energy such irresponsibility should be punished harshly.

The solution is not to create more sources of energy, or more towers, no more wires, no more supply to the tourist areas, but by promoting environmental education and energy efficiency (including in these programs to tourists but also to employers, architects, etc). He who does not learn, or that is not efficient in its management, must pay. Regardless. If not, no way.
