  • Applying Sustainable Consumption in Bogota
Sustainability in Bogota

Bogota is a very beautiful but messy and disorganized city, with more than 8 million people living in it. What I think needs to be changed are the public transportation buses. These buses are old and rusty and could be easily compared to a chimney. All the pollution that is caused because of these buses is unimaginable. What I would do would be change those buses and replace them for something more Eco-friendly. Another huge problem, is the consumption of energy around the city and in the city. I don't know one single industry or factory in Bogota that cares about how much they waste. Plus, lights are always on everywhere since you could Bogota is a nocturnal city too. I would find a way to make the energy we consume Eco-friendly like solar energy panels, energy wind makers, and all those things that do help a lot. There is no such thing as a recycling system here. Schools, buildings, restaurants, companies, and even the government here tries to do this and have different trash cans so that there can be a recycling system. This obviously doesn't happen, as soon as the truck who picks up trash arrives, everything goes in the same place without noticing it is going to be recycled. I would make a recycling campaign and an awareness team or something that will make citizens more cautious and we can recycle.
