I am concerned about the environment, people in absolute poverty, human stupidity in

not worrying about what to do or worrying and doing nothing and instead
reaching a massive purchase of objects that have little material value and of
all kinds but that cause damage. . To the environment and its ecosystem and
that ignorance that does not allow us to open our eyes about the crisis of the
planet.
And as Canserbero said, the worst blindness is of the person who does not want to
remove the bandage.4

Interest
My interests are in the crisis that the planet is going through and how to solve it through
music and other means and also how people who are interested in this and who did
something about this crisis are less recognized than those who are not interested and do
not. They do nothing, but they are more recognized, and then they change that. Also
games are my interests.

Dreams
I would like to change the situation of the planet for everything bad there is, well what
else, be a music producer, rap singer, hip hop and hip hap and then have a family. But
my biggest dream is that when I leave this world, I will be happy to know that I did
something to change the world and I will not sit idly by.

I´m Juana. I am 14 years old. I like animals. I live in Zipaquira.

I´m concerned about my community, because there is a soil pollution.
I am good at reading and writing. (read and write).
I´m interested in protecting (protect) the rivers and lagoons in my area.
I would like to research (research) about causes of the levels of pollution.

READING: Read and Listen (El audio para su práctica esta disponible en los equipos de grado Octavo en
la plataforma de TEAMS)

According to the United Nations, the biggest environmental problem in Colombia is

deforestation. Colombia loses 3,000 square kilometers of forest every year.
We are cutting down the forests because agriculture demands a lot of land. This destroys
ecosystems, and pollutes the soil with excessive use of fertilizers and pesticides. Did you know
that, according to the World Bank, Colombia increased the use of pesticides by 360% in the last
20 years? Farmers in regions like Boyacá or Cundinamarca use very dangerous pesticides.
Another reason for deforestation is mining. Mining is a very important industry because the
world still depends on fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas to produce energy. Did
you know that only 20 years ago, the biggest exports from Colombia were agricultural products?
Now, coal is the second largest export. Since the year 2000, the production of coal has increased
by 85%. Illegal mining brings more serious environmental problems than agriculture. It destroys
all the vegetation, causing erosion and water pollution. For example, the coal mine El Cerrejón is
the second biggest open mine in the world.
This mine pollutes the soil, the rivers around the mine and even the beaches and the ocean.
Illegal mining is even worse because there is no government control.
According to the Ministry of Mines and Energy, 50% of the mining in Colombia is illegal. Did you
know that 80% of that illegal mining for gold is happening in Chocó and Antioquia?

It is also happening very fast in Guainía and Guaviare. For example, illegal mining of a mineral
called Coltan destroyed five square kilometers of a nature reserve in three months. There is
great demand for this mineral for the production of electronics like
mobile phone batteries. When people extract metals and minerals, they use many toxic
substances like mercury and arsenic. These substances escape from the mines and get into the
water. So, illegal mining and bad practices in agriculture have catastrophic effects for the air,
the soil, the water and also for our health. The question we need to ask ourselves is: how are we
going to find solutions?
