A nadie le importa salvar el planeta | Steve Tort | TEDxPalmitas


[Applause]
nobody should care about saving the
planet
that’s the way nobody is
he should care
and save the planet
I still remember when I heard this phrase
for the first time
except the planet takes care of the environment
I must have had
67 years it rained
surely the same thing has happened to you
throughout your life you’ve heard so many
Sometimes this saves the planet
take care of the environment and listen to it
so much that it somehow becomes
monotonous
it’s something that you simply know is
there
you just know that there is
you are aware that there is a problem of
that of saving the planet but it has
become so recurrent
that is simply
and few people are aware
what day after day
the planet is getting warmer
or few are aware
that day by day
more tons of CO2 are thrown towards
the environment
when we want to talk about these issues
we have to talk about sustainability
and we can look for it everywhere and
we will hear a thousand and one definitions but
really what it means
sustainability is balance
it’s about having a balance all in
life needs to have balance
everything in life needs to have an order
and although we have
listened to throughout our life the
planet cares for the environment
I continue to find the data as
these
every second the equivalent of a
gridiron
every second
we are running out of forests
thinking as if they were infinite
the earth
reached the maximum temperature in the
last 115 thousand years
every second
200 tons of
plastic
for the year 2050 we will have more
plastic that animals
and because if we know why they have
said all the time
that we must save the planet
because we really have not achieved it
because we have an economic system
and in very very very general terms
can explain what the system is
economic
you have countries that have to generate
wealth wealth to be able to have
wealth infrastructure to be able to do
hospitals
wealth to be able to have programs
social and how is this exploit
its natural resources
and it’s fine I agree with the
exchange the only factor that they do not
they took into account when they made the
economic system is time
If you are a tree today
how long does it take to grow
I took five minutes to make a
plastic bucket
5 minutes
and it took a million years for it to
degrade
and I say I’m not a scientist but
I feel that in 35 minutes and a million
years if it exists as if some
difference
and it is a difference because it will be
quite significant
and that generates this imbalance that
generates what we have about
exploiting our resources
hurricanes
tsunamis
floods
the melting of the poles
forest fires
all these catastrophes
they are going to come back something recurrent in
our lives if in itself it is something
we see very often if we have the
enough awareness what will happen
is that we will continue to see it and each
more and more and more and more and more
and that’s why I say that nobody
must matter save the planet
because clearly
you see that what the planet wants to
have that imbalance
what you want to kill yourself
what he wants is that you are not here
the culprit and let’s face it
of all this contamination we are
US
and those of us who must assume that
responsibility are we
that’s why I say
because I would focus
is to save the planet
when we know the planet so that
be well and be healthy is that you do not
Be here
and that’s why I say and the idea that
I come to expose today you
that the focus should change what you
We are teaching the children of Salve
the planet is a bad focus
you should not go out there
the approach that I say is to save the race
human
save yours
for years they have told us the same thing
steve takes care of this tree
steve care this tree has oxygen you
gives shade
steve quid is this tree
and that what makes style and what it does
the society
balotta la and a chair is made
if they are telling you that this is what you
is giving life because you destroy it
then the focus will change and if I
I tell you
take care of your son
save your son
and the focus changes that’s where I already
I really start to put the
importance that must have
there are many times that
when I say that there really is
focus
in saving the human race
they refute me because if the planet is
where we live
Of course, but you have to generate a
awareness
It must generate an ecological conscience
that is really aware of what
is happening because we see it happen what
we see every day and as I said
it becomes somewhat monotonous
what should you do you must take
action
and they tell me but it is that stowage and treaties
is the treaty of paris
the clear river treaty
but today
global sustainable development is a
failure
because although leaders to
despite the fact that people
really makes decisions by
US
is signing papers
we keep seeing that they are cutting down
we keep seeing all the change and
we really do not see something that looks
consistent then thinking in a way
global
is failing
however sustainable development
local is a reality
and I want you to imagine today that
you have in your hands
the power to generate a change
the power to do small actions that
they will inevitably generate a
difference
I want you to know and that you can imagine
that every action you take to take care of the
planet is because you want your children
be there well
it’s because you’re telling the future
generations are you thanking them
small actions
they make a big difference
and here the biggest challenge in Latin America
is to be able to work as a team I know that
This is a problem we have because if
they want culture or I do not know
that it does not cost us a job to get
agreement
it’s hard for us to work in
equipment
have heard a thousand stories of what
crab and so on
but we always want to see the one next door
more tornado than us but here no longer
it’s something that is a competition here already
it’s not about someone being better
etcetera here is something for our
own existence is something that is going to
impact on our
we must accept that we are one with the
ambient
we must take away that selfishness
implicit that we have
and really take the importance of
things that are
we must respect the other species
who live with us stop thinking
that you’re worth more than the one next door because
it’s not like that we all share a place
and we must all work to save
this place
the first step is to remove our
addiction that we have for oil that
addiction to burn burn burn burn
although the one that has done the most to us
society that we are today today that
It has allowed no progress
impressive technological yes clear
however you have to have a change
step by step to leave
that addiction to oil
one of the one of these steps is to generate
your own electricity
suddenly I live with people who
says let the light from outside learned all
the night
so that if you are in your house
so they think that if I’m not
methane
or suddenly people who say
then I want grams with the TV
turned on just to make noise
and so there are quite a few cases
that you really think he hears is that
you have conscience
it has become for us
natural to reach and turn on the light of
our house
that we have lost the notion of what
there is back
it has become so natural
to be able to get your TV set
Netflix
and we really do not have conscience anymore
that they are burning fuels behind
fossils or what back they are giving you in
the whole planet tower
also one of the changes that they
I propose
uses an electric car
although I understand that today they are not
the cheapest and that are the few
they have access to it because it’s fine not
buy an electric car around no
use your car for the store that is in
the corner
Be aware of what is happening
do not use so much plastic and today
I want to tell you something that I am very
proud to work a company that
Really
he is very ecologically conscious
and that I am very proud of my team
because policies were made like 0 p 0
paper
I like to work with people who
really have that awareness that if
we are doing damage
and that’s why I want to leave you with this phrase
what does it say
only after the last tree is
has cut only after the last
river has been poisoned only after
the last fish has been caught alone
then you will know that the money is not
can eat
today you have to be a change
and a local change begins with you begins
for inspiring the one next door because it’s very
easy to complain and say you write if you do not
it does not do it but it starts with doing it
Start by generating awareness to your
children starts by generating in general
awareness with those who come back from
you
Thank you
