Some Good Colombian sustainable Transportation initiatives

Here back in Colombia , Today I went to a Car Show here , still I should say more than 90% of the vehicles here are oriented to traditional fuels, there was only one car nicely made on Colombia which is a prove of the tech advance and adaptation of the people of this country the car showing here is a small Efficient car that is totally design under Natural Gas technology which is not the best from merely renewable fuels but it’s work perfectly for Colombia, this car has an engine of 1,300 cc and is high efficent for Cm3 of Gas, the price is also excellent since is only 11 Million pesos which is around 3,500 U$ which is very cheap for a new car here in Colombia, the bad news is that there still a lot of gaps for sustainable cars and energy, the government still need a long way to go and I am afraid that the learning curve have to be reduce or we’ll be going to a certain point of no return, what I can say is that I have start on my own house promoting alternative energies and solutions, mean while, I am trying with Greenflare to introduce the so called “Trojan Horse” which is nothing but short term result translated in Savings for companies as a way to open the eyes of the companies, of curse this goes along with some coaching on sustainability and benefits of adopting in it based principles of TNS

Cows, Cows and + Cows

Hello to all my overseas pal´s, Finally I make an english entry at this blog, anyway, here are some pics of my final endeavor, the idea is to help some ranchers close to the capital to be more efficient; eco-efficent ,reducing cost and helping them to understand sutainability, in practical terms the meat production should reduce the extensivise practices so land can be used more efficently for more people whitout compromising the natural resources procuring to restore, the thing is that the erreoneously used of land and on particular land for cattle is destroyng the native forest and its bio deversity with the aggravator that it may never came back. anyway Meat and Cattle is and has ever been on humanity since the begining of human kind this living way must be adresing on a sustainable way ,specially on developing countries where rural and cattle production is way of living so sustainabilty must start in order to find alternatives for growth economical-social whitout compromising the linited nature resources and the most important biodervisty.
