The construction industry is responsible
for around 50% of greenhouse's effect gases that jeopardize Earth's Balance.
Most earth's resources are finite,
so the use we make of them today, will define the access that future
generations of humans, animals and plants will have to resources later.
As a result of Man's cruel
destructive activities, Earth's biodiversity is decreasing at a rate of about
50.000 species per year.
Human population growth and the
exponential increase of the industrial activity are problems to face. Currently
the world population is about 6.5 billion people and the United Nations (UN )
estimates that the world population will be 8.5 billion people in 2025 and will
reach 10.2 thousand million in 2100. With our current lifestyle, earth's
resources will end in a few decades.
Nowadays, it’s not enough to think
sustainable, we need to step in. It’s important the awareness of all, because
if a change in people’s habits does not take place, the planet will never again
be what we know, thanks to the fast degradation we have witnessed.
The concept of eco-efficient
construction, appears as a current necessity. includes not only the bioclimatic
architecture as well as the reduction of depletion of natural resources,
Biodiversity conservation, waste production and greenhouse gases emission,
harmful, not only to Ecosystems but also to human health.
Although the world is still in its
early steps for a more sustainable future, the race against the destruction and
chaos of the world has already begun, it is up to all contribute to solving
these problems.
Several simple changes can be made
to put an end to environmental imbalance. Such as, using the wisdom of our
ancestors, who built according to the climate and the raw material of the
region. Reduce energy use and supply from renewable sources,
consider water as a scarce good and use it wisely, reuse and recycle materials,
manage waste in order to minimize it and incorporate it in new building
materials.
