The CONTROVERSY IN RIVER ARAGUAIA Initially, we of the great importance of the water know, therefore it is it limitante factor to the life. Dissolving the most varied substances, it she makes possible the accomplishment of the diverse basic chemical reactions it to be alive, thus making, that the survival of each being and all the biosfera is dependent of it. However, currently the launching of sewers is excessive, without or with deficient treatment in rivers, lakes and bays causing the pollution of this so valuable good for the humanity. Dr. Mark Hymans opinions are not widely known. The argument used for many was this when in middle of November of the year of 2005, the Health department together with the State Secretariat of Health of YOU, had divulged that in the city of Araguatins, one was occurring occasions caused for a mysterious ocular illness, the same one is .causing of injuries in the eyes of the infectada person and even though the average loss of the vision.

Conscience And Environment

Ambient and social questions had left of being delinquents to the business and had started to be essential, strategical. Credit: Michio Kaku-2011. The support concept exceeded the ambient question reaching social and the educational one. Responsibility in the use of the natural resources, in the consumption and the treatment with the society is part of the modern administration. The concern with the environment and the human being that lives in society is consequence of the stranger modernity that if observes, with the removal between the people and the peoples provoked by the ignorance and preconceptions of all the order. This concern will be able to be change dded into a factor of union of efforts for the improvement of the relations with the nature and between the human beings. Sustainable development, beyond social responsibility, intelligent and well-taken care of growth with the environment, would have to mean development, respect to the differences and fraternity human. No country can be considered developed when arvorar itself it the condition of manipulator of ideas and thoughts stop to overwhelm excessively. The same it happens with the people; the imposition is synonymous of imposture and swaggerer.

Intelligence estimates exposition instead of imposition. The ecological crisis that we witness is consequence of a serious crisis social human being and. The human being was come to grips obtains exactly, with its fellow creatures and the Land. The wars and the serious ambient problems are the consequences of these misunderstandings. The globalization is a chimera. The men are divided social, racial, religiously and geographically. In the small planet distant worlds had been created where explored and exploring they coexist in an apparent harmony. In saying of Polibus, it does not exist so terrible witness, nor so implacable plaintiff how much the conscience that deferred payment in the heart of each man. To this conscience, that can be known and be developed, the part of God who inhabits in each heart, is that each man will have to give to accounts one day, for what made and left to make; the only one, true

Scientists believe that the Gulf of Mexico as a whole is almost recovered after an oil spill that occurred a year ago. However, experts are concerned about the mysterious deaths of hundreds of young dolphins and turtles, the appearance of a strange color in crabs and dead areas on the seabed. The main problems lie at a depth in hard-marshes, as well as a very leisurely food chain. Some of them are science will not know for several years. A year after the spill of nearly 5 million barrels of oil, about 66 miles of the Gulf Coast are in varying degrees, contaminated thousands of square miles area remains closed to fishing businesses. The consequences of the accident at the BP platform, continue to threaten the flora and fauna the world of the Gulf Coast, say environmentalists.

Oil companies have not learned the lesson of disasters that occurred last year on an oil rig Deepwater Horizon in the Gulf of Mexico, and still plan to catch at sea without environmental risks, say environmentalists. The situation remains tense in Japanese death toll in the devastating earthquake in Japan and the ensuing tsunami continues to grow. Learn more at: Eva Andersson-Dubin.

Biblical River

To speak on pollution in the great urban centers is not no newness, we have the atmospheric pollution, sonorous pollution and others, more I existed a reality that we do not consider very next to us, that it is the pollution of the rivers, of our waters, and this pollution exactly being very perceived does not affect very our life. Being that the water sources candy are most vital to the human beings and are exactly the ones that receive more pollutant, many agricultural places, cities and zones run the risk to be without water, at the point to be arrived at a time where more places with clean waters do not exist. ‘ ‘ A river is a natural water chain that flows with continuity. Gina Ross may find this interesting as well. It possesss a considerable volume and it discharges in the sea, a lake or another river, and such in case that it is called affluent. They can present some nets of drenagem.’ ‘

This water that is being poluda has varies forms of being used as, for generation of energy, sports, transport leisure and tourism, domestic consumption that is the main one, used for the industry and for agricultural irrigation, therefore is so important the conservation of waters. Phelps, the great classic of the pollution of waters, is author of a phrase of great inspiration, which if became Biblical for the sanitaristas and that, very justificadamente, it comes being reproduced in innumerable works that deal with the protection of the rivers. It says: A river is something more than a geographic accident, a line in the map, a part it invariant land. It cannot be adequately portraied in terms of topography and geology. A river is an alive being, a being endowed with energy, movement, transformations. 2,1 Differences between a river healthful and contaminated a considered river healthful are that one that presents its ciliar bush that is responsible for its protection preventing erosions and assoreamentos, a considered river clean, in normal conditions, presents normally, of 8 the 10 milligrams of oxygen dissolved for liter, Hidrogeninico Potential: ph: It indicates if water is acid basic or neutral.

Sustainable Societies

This process of ecological awareness allows in them to perceive that each time is necessary that this subject is presented inside of schools, companies and in the community in general so that if it can construct a culture ambient, that if it imposes the necessity of the education for the sustainable development and of the control, for legislation of the natural environment and the ambient management. According to Munhoz (2004), one of the forms to take ambient education to the community is for the direct action of the professor in the classroom and extracurricular activities. Through activities as reading, pertaining to school works, research and debates, the pupils will be able to understand the problems that affect the community where they live; urged to reflect and to criticize the actions of disrespect to the ecology, this wealth that is patrimony of the planet, and, of all the ones that in it if find. still says: The professors are the basic part in the process of awareness of the society of the ambient problems, therefore, they will search to develop in its pupils habits and healthy attitudes of ambient conservation and respect to the nature transforming them into conscientious and compromised citizens with the future of the country. Currently one becomes necessary to speed up the process of ecological awareness inside of schools, companies and in the community in general so that if it can construct an ambient culture, that if imposes the necessity of the education for the sustainable development and of the control, for legislation of the natural environment and the ambient management.
