REFLECTION QUESTIONHealth Support Pollution ReductionWhat environmental factors affect human health in your region, and how do they affect it?
Juan Guillermo Berrios 10/21/2018 5:31 AMMy region is burning diesel to generate energy. There are plans to initially move to natural gas in what we are integrating sustainable energy systems. In addition, we have a serious problem of landfill availability. We are evaluating the alternative of waste to energy and education to reduce the generation of garbage.
