Sustainable consumption & production: a greener world

The word is kind of in a bad place
This is because of humans. 
By 2050 we'll have no space for trash
We have improved compared to a few years ago
People try to reduce their carbon footprint. 
Europe is doing its best to improve the ecological place of the world for future generations.

Of the last 14 years, 10 have been the hottest ever recorded, thanks to mankind. 
It's not about politics, it's about morals.
The whole world can flood and sea levels can rise dramatically.,

FLIGHT MOFFETT TO PHOENIX: BEST OF
Since there's no fuel, It can theoretically fly forever
The tech that the plane has should be used everywhere
The sun powered plane is very slow and big. 

ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY: GRADUATION CEREMONY
They want to fly around the world by 2015
It was very difficult
Every difficulty is a potential opportunity
To be useful and good to everyone you have to go beyond knowledge
We need pioneers more than ever




ASSIGNMENT
Bogota is a difficult city to be sustainable, mainly because of the huge population and the awful organization of the entire area. I'm sure that many mayors in the past have attempted to  begin projects that would improve this but as far as I'm concerned their tries have been unsuccessful. Nevertheless, there is an idea that I have that would work well towards a better future. 
The first one is to get rid (or replace) all the faulty public transportation systems. A great example of this are the famous "flotas", or buses. The first problem with them is that there are technically no rules regarding them.  They're all from the 80's, which means that they pollute ridiculously, as well as being dangerous, slow and unreliable.  And apart from this we have to remember that they're privately owned, which only translates to one thing: crowdedness. They're absolutely everywhere and since their driven by what seem to be blind quadriplegics.
