Green Colombia: hydro-electric power and clean water
Colombians are supporting practical plans to:
~ restore the native riparian vegetation along streams. They want cleaner water in the quebradas cleaner water for the veredas.
~
development of decentralize networks for supplying many megawatts of
renewable energy with the many small efficient generators now available.
~ improve shipping strategies so many more are delivered using less packaging and fuel.
~ establish reliable methods of measuring progress in emissions reduction.
~ increases local food production in urban greenbelts and elsewhere.
~ encourage foot, bicycle, and transit use with practical design and inventiveness.
~ devote more(60%)of new city development to green space.
Others elsewhere can and are supporting similar practical plans.
