The health of the planet continues to deteriorate at an alarming rate, while our system of progress is becoming increasingly unsustainable.
According to the UN, more than 3 billion people are affected by ecosystem degradation , with high pollution rates causing about nine million premature deaths each year and more than one million species of plants and animals at risk of extinction.
Our world has increasingly limited resources, and therefore, sustainable development offers the best opportunity to redirect our course as humanity.
What could be good solutions to achieve a sustainable future? This is the question posed in the third episode of Ruta Verde, a program on 13C hosted by Carolina De Moras and Alberto Álvarez Nicholson, which showcases different sustainable energy initiatives in Chile and around the world.
This time, Ruta Verde shows how Remote Waters operates , a company whose objective is to provide purification systems that supply clean, safe drinking water to communities without access to it.
In addition, the program shows how energy efficiency is also a challenge, telling the story of Heavenward, a company that promotes energy regeneration in elevators and set out to make its offices a highly energy-efficient space, obtaining a LEED platinum certification, one of the most important recognitions in its field.
