"Garbage Pollution".

Garbage pollution is the civic waste of the houses into places not designated of pollution. The principal causes of the garbage pollution are the mismanagement of the solid waste like bottles, plastic bags, tin can, etc. That garbage goes to the streets and public areas. Another cause is the bad system of the garbage by the government plus the bad habits of people, that meaning The people do not know how to separate the garbage and that leading to garbage pollution.

The cities and towns have this problem because the collection agency does not go everywhere and does not collect regularly, then the problem grows.

This problem contributes to the water pollution, because some of the soil garbage or hazardous waste, go to the little rivers, then they are contaminated and cause illnesses. At the same time, the garbage pollution leads to the destruction of the ozone layer because the decomposition of the garbage creates greenhouse gases and it makes bad smells it, affects the natural balance because they cause the death of animals and plants.

We want to know how we can create an lenvironmental culture, so people know the importance of recycling the garbage, the causes and effects by pollution now and in the future, how we can help to reduce this problem and make a real difference, we want to know the alternative products like biodegradable plastic and in which places we can buy it.

How we can solve it by; Creating a real and good environmental culture in the kids and teenagers and creating laws that sanction people who don't separate their waste.

We propose to change the world, not only with campaigns but with an open mind and makes products biodegradable, use rechargeable batteries and avoid the cutting of trees, we also can recycle plastics like bags and bottles.

Nowadays there are different issues that damage the environment and it is why there are many organizations that want to reduce the problem of the contamination for the garbage pollution, some organizations in Mexico are:

• Limpiemos Nuestro México, this organization promotes cleaning campaigns in Mexico, with the help of Function Azteca and Azteca Television.
• Academia Basura is an organization to teach people how we can live without producing garbage and show us how we can recycle our garbage, it is an organization that works online and sometimes have lectures in schools.
• Greenpeace Mexico, this is an international organization, maybe the most popular around the world. It helps to create ecology laws.
• Fondo Mexicano para la Conservación de la Naturaleza, this one is a government organization, this makes programs and projects to take care the protected areas in Mexico.

When we learn about these organizations we want to make a real change like them, and it is also the reason why we should make environmental campaigns in our community so we could make an environmental culture.

We should show to the people how they can live without contaminating, with simple suggestions such as; we should not consume tin products, we must not throw garbage on green areas, we must eat organics products, etc.

Returning to the environmental campaigns, we may create our organization, it needn't be an organization with-profit and also we might find volunteers for our organization, so we ought to have a regularly fight with the garbage pollution.

After this, the society ought not to ignore this problem, a lot of organizations are warning to help our planet, to be part of the new sustentable world and the world might change to be better.
