We only have one planet

The first article of this year we will dedicate to address an important issue for the future of all, because no matter where we live, we only have one planet and its degradation with some nuances and differences, affects us all alike speak of EU objective on climate change and energy sustainability is included in the "The 2020 target" this goal has among its priorities it aims to achieve emissions reductions of greenhouse gases and generating 20% ​​of energy through renewable energy, in regard to recycling our waste, on that date, you must recycle 50% of our waste from plastic, cardboard i glass.
 

In 2020 we the Catalans a sovereign nation or follow integrated into the kingdom of Spain, we meet the requirements of the objectives set by the EU, are part of it, and I think this is an important issue on the basis of the figures we have territorial level and with the evidence that we have only one planet.
 

So I think interesting to introduce this article on the "Objective 2020" EU macro figures as generic article, then I entroncarlo with a series of articles in figures micro confined to our environment, in order to analyze changes They can and should assume the 2020 target in our territory as well as contrasting as far as possible the problems that can lead us in the future, if citizens do not put their two cents, so necessary for achieving the objective 2020 globally.
 

The first thing we say is that we have only one planet, with limited resources, and must know that our actions are causing some changes on the planet with devastating consequences, not in vain, and in this sense some scientists have called this period land, "The era of the Anthropocene" The root of the word comes from the union of Greek terms (Anthropos) "meaning humanity" (Cene) "which means era or period in the history of the Land" and defined in a word the era in which the earth, where economic activity affects human beings on the planet drastic changes such as droughts lives; floods; warm winters; or the cool summers, these changes globally in very abbreviated terms and confined locally, affecting our crops and our way of doing cultures, given the change in the temperature, the emission of greenhouse gases that are generating which promotes global warming, the lack of rain with consequent drought or the occurrence of rains with their floods, warming seas and oceans affects the balance of the marine ecosystem in a chain of events produced by the activities of humans that in the end we see reflected directly in the seafood we consume. So all these actions globally had just affecting everyone individually to us and our descendants.
 

That's why I think important today, take a clear and concise determination to stop the looming disaster that changing the way we use our natural resources and to reuse what we already have. Our global legacy for generations to come, and particularly for our progeny is the planet we inhabit in all its magnitude, and we must preserve it for future generations to enjoy it, and may, as we can today see some mountains and rivers mountains and seas full of life and biodiversity that allow us to live in harmony on the planet for millennia.
 

So I think we should do to build sustainable societies with their environment and to do and therefore one of the factors, such as recycling of our waste, the proper use of our raw materials, our energy sources and creating cities that are installed properly and sustainably with the environment, not to, green mountains disappear from the planet and we remain barren mountains and rivers and seas without life, flanked by mountains of waste, due to the exhaustion of resources and the morning our children and grandchildren will be a lot worse than we inherited from our parents in this regard world. We must be the generation that put the foundations of a society that preserves the planet as a common good, and we must do carrying out actions that lead us to make rational use of the resources we have, because they will not forget, and this is very important, but it seems obvious that we have only one planet for all.
 

Together with the cited above mind on 2020 targets, the EU reminds us through a report by the European Environment Agency, with the proper recycling of our waste we reduce greenhouse gases and time as is obvious We save resources of our raw materials through the reuse of recycled materials. The figures on emissions and guarantee it, with improved treatment of municipal waste between 2001 and 2010 it was possible to reduce by 56% the greenhouse gases or what is the same is reduced by 38 tonnes of CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. 

EU on the other hand indicates that the recycling sector is a good sector at the center of economic growth, taking into account the difficult situation of employment in Europe, and restricting it to Spain, and in the absence of solid projects aimed at generating employment and at the same time help us to lay the foundations for a sustainable eco industry, we should cons

ider this sector as a pointer in the generation of employment on the basis of the following figures. As we said EU if we carry out all agreed legislation on recycling the serious economic savings of MEUR 72,000 400,000 jobs generated in the EU by 2020. Only in the area of ​​plastics recycling, recycling 70% of here 2020 in this industry, it could create 162,000 jobs in the 27 EU countries.
 

We must nevertheless regret at the micro level that if we circumscribe this problem to the local level, and talking about recycling figures in the region, we pushed in one direction which leads to that in 2020 we will not reach the minimum required by the EU, unless we take action to make this possible today and that this immediate consequence will mean that our bill for the recycling of waste not separated will be much higher, if the above reasons have not given a reason perhaps this is sufficient, this circumscribed figures micro means, we will pay more money for the garbage fee, of one form or another, so I think we need to put on the table solutions and recycle more and better with much more effective than we currently have deployed formulas, oriented campaigns to explain to people the reasons why it has to be recycled; in that sense this will be the next topic of my paper recycling our waste and the need to find more effective solutions much closer formulas, practices as well as instructive.

IN LINE WITH CATALONIA ELECTION OF 27-S

A few weeks after the Catalan elections where they will settle between separatist forces and defenders remain part of the Kingdom of Spain, through these lines, in my capacity as a voter who disagrees with the project or the United Spain offered me españolistas or independence with the proposed offering me independence; I have written this article.

As for the independence project, I would like to stress that those who intend to me I have not put on the table, accompanied his proposal; in that kind of country I live; are the unknowns that generates me the proposal that clarifies me, since independence have not told me if we have a public health, a payment or free road infrastructure, what my tax rate to support the new state and Currency we, if we will be part of Europe. Nor have they told me about the proposed constitution and I think this is fundamental to joining a project of this magnitude; They have not told me that the political model of republic proposed me, if we have the Senate, if living in a vegueria, and have not told me about what will happen to the language, we will be bilingual?, say some things that have not said definitively shortly before the independence project and this is difficult for me to join.

In my opinion, I think it would have been well to discussion forums and briefings which reveal these and other questions to which we do not see clear independence would have been nice to put on and to put ideas with free thinkers from both sides, this would have served to winning more support among the citizenry and to uncover unknowns.

On the other side are the proponents of constitutional reform a constitution that among others wrote the same as for 40 years imposed a dictatorship and put too corsets as articles for the text could not reform comprehensively the constitution of 78 or the so-called "Consensus of 78" is nothing more than a headlong rush of a people who are forced to vote "yes to the constitution" or "NO and dictatorship" the constitution of 78 does not apply to the XXI century Spain and I do not think the reform have lead them to have judicialized amendments to the Statute of Autonomy something to vote freely in the Catalan village democracy, and that is largely to blame for that today many Catalans are in favor of independence or summarizing the catchphrase "of those dusts these muds come."

I think these people the first thing you have to lead is an internal reform of its ideas and its leaders who live anchored in the past and the view is the current legislature, reforms have taken us on rights in the late 70th early 80s, see primal proposed reform of the abortion law; gag law drafted to silence the people, or the labor reform that has only served to cut workers rights for the employer, they and their proposals will regress to the civil society and it is likely that if we leave, if we behave like You were a time travel to Spain the "Consensus of 78" in the Spain where the missing were rights and freedoms for the people and where collaborators of the dictator jacket Democrats got to leave everything well tied.

Therefore I do not see the PP put on the table a solid proposal for the XXI century Spain, and never in any of its political proposals, I've seen proposing something we can benefit people like me are part of the class working in this country. I do not see their leaders suitable for people the country needs change, your program to stop bleeding after a voter legislature cuts and bailouts for the bankers and the rich at the expense of citizens' money; It is the program of fear or Abyss "or us or none" and so I think you can not take the country forward.

As for the PSC (Socialist Party of Catalonia) branch of the PSOE (Spanish Socialist Workers' Party) in Catalonia, where federalist adventure, is not, in my opinion, a fable to regain lost ground, do not believe in it and that evidenced by the many divisions that have left you, just want to vote and I for one I believe it stopped when I discovered that federalism supports the monarchy as a system. Emerging parties do not have a clear proposal, or at least I do not know fully how to think is solid, the new right represented by Ciudadan's or as they call in Spain Ciutadanos, I will not vote him because I do not believe in its tenets the right. As for those we propose its own tax system to Catalonia, ignoring the fact that many who took to the Catalan way yearn to own their own state laws and boundaries, they forget that there are people who no longer want to be part of the Kingdom of

Spain, and I think they're wrong if they do not realize that it is no longer just a question of money. The plural left, supports the referendum and the right to decide of the Catalan people and this I believe to be the true starting point for ensuring continuity of Catalonia or the Kingdom of Spain.

For my part I am not in favor of independence; or the constitutional reform they propose the PP, nor of federalism PSC / PSOE that protects the monarchy, I am not in favor of technocrats Ciudadan's or Ciutadanos, or think this is already a matter of money. I am a firm advocate that this Spain creek passes through the proclamation of the Third Republic Spanish federal solution; the repeal of the constitution of 78 and the opening of a constitutional process to democratize all institutions and leading to the XXI century Spain in a country where people and their rights are over capital; a Spain where the constitutional framework of the historical nationalities relationship with the central government, to end the tensions independence, a constitution that recognizes, respects and solidly defend the languages, history and culture of the historic nationalities of the redefined New Republic. I advocate a republican Spain, agreed by all, by all and for all.

A different Spain certainly I propose, my proposal is to Spain the "Consensus of the century", a Spain where the first premise for politicians, is working to build a society where social inequalities are building a future cut prosperity for all.

However I would like to end this article by saying that neither the independence nor the Third Republic, or the constitutional reform, or federalism, get us out of the current situation in which we are engaged, so I think that although we must open this debate , talking and proposing in this election on independence, federalism or the Third Republic; 27S for Catalonia need political parties, from the left, where my political thinking is located, put on the table proposals to cut social, and projects that generate employment stability and to build a future of prosperity for the Catalan people, accompanying nation project we want for Catalonia either inside or outside the Kingdom of Spain.

And finally, to see my mood to Catalan independence I want to say to paraphrase Voltaire, "I do not agree with what they propose independence, but I will give my life to defend your right to say it". And speaking to suspend españolistas Catalan autonomy; If you fail our autonomy and deprive us of our freedom to legislate and decide who governs us, I will not hesitate a moment to let me independence.

THE DEPENDENCE OF INDEPENDENCE

The sovereigntist that flag Artur Mas intends clog two disastrous years of legislature that only served to reduce the welfare state of Catalan citizens and to bring the total to the economic paralysis Catalan in Catalonia today But all promises that led him to victory in 2010 have led to more resounding failures, everything promised is fulfilled all the elimination of the estate tax something that demanded the wealthy classes of Catalonia that vote, other than there is nothing more than empty promises and a government pact with the Spanish right which has competed with so fierce in escalating cuts and tax increases to the middle and lower classes in order to squeeze to get money for the treasury .

At his failure and that Spain view more sooner or later be redeemed, whatever it says the Spanish right, CIU has embarked on a legitimate independence adventure that has taken him to call elections the 25N presented a program that depends on independence to gain votes, which comes at a time when we are seeing citizens stunned as our national sovereignty has been put up for sale by a few billion euros without even can decide whether we accept it or not, a few euros Acosta will pay the casualization of public health, public expense of education, or jubilándonos later to end the rich and powerful do not pay the piper of credit, a credit to pay our children and grandchildren and that having become more precarious public services and an uncertain future unless you belong to the upper classes, the benefit of the debt of the greed of a few who will remain and live as privileged, which is why I find it absurd to speak independence when the Lord most of CIU proposes is nothing that independence from Spain to stop the hands of speculators European Union, a parliament by which I do not feel represented and that is all that serves to carry asphyxia citizen.

That's why I am convinced that the bet of Mas for independence being as legitimate and in no nonsense, is useless because ultimately end up in the hands of "Troika" and welfare will be for the elite while the bill will for citizens of Catalonia, because think one thing Catalan independence, independence with a bill be paid by someone and I see the wealthy classes Catalan very willing to foot the bill for free, nor see the EU make money investing in that longed independent Catalonia at 0 cost, will ultimately pay the usual and I include myself because first of all I am Catalan, I live in Catalonia and fails to do it even more independent.

FEDERALISM A VIABLE ALTERNATIVE

Seen from the perspective of interested foreign and inner part of the Catalan elections will 25N citizens from the crossroads of vote to stay in Spain voting españolistas parties Catalan parliamentary spectrum, or vote for the bet advocating independence Catalan right, some left-wing parties and pro-independence parties of the camera.

Amid that crossroads where voters are Catalan PSC is defending the federalist model, as the evolution of the autonomous model exhausted, but what is federalism, which is defending the asymmetry? are issues that many voters question, and I wonder why in these peak times in that part of the Catalan parties defend the Catalan nation building the dream cherished by so many important idealistic past, we turn to the socialist defend federalism is an idea that sounds strange insipidus in a country where the head of state is a king. In this article I will tell you what I think is the federalism question answering.

What is federalism

Federalism applied to a country where words of enlightened citizens in this area is "negotiation and agreement" is the negotiation between free citizens who reach a pact and coexistence within a distinct territorial framework, "is citizenship" because are citizens representing citizens who negotiated the pact, which leads me to the conclusion, even when I was a layman in this complex matter, federalism, is the individual right of a group to decide, by negotiating the legal framework for all nature where they want and how they want to live several different territories.

Defending federalism

Federalism defends something as simple as creating rules that allow the coexistence coexistence, is applied to Spain among others, the deployment of the statutes of autonomy so that the regions can not see their powers invaded by the central government intrusion; eliminating duplication in administration because it makes no sense that the powers trasferidas have a counterpart in the central government, reforming the Senate so that this becomes a

true organ of communication between the central government and the autonomous regions, and in my view ultimately defends the uniqueness that makes each town in Spain within a framework of democratic agreed by all.

Asymmetry

Asymmetry in this context is the uniqueness of each town, perhaps in Spain in which we live is not there areas that have more than one official language?, Does have all territories sea? Is there no regions that are islands while others are autonomous cities?, For that is, territorial asymmetry makes different territories may have different powers, then defends asymmetrical federalism as simple as the uniqueness of each village and its consequences on competition.

Because I consider it feasible

As Republican federalism see in the sociopolitical context in which can eventually be broken this Spain, to the proclamation of the Third Republic, a republic of free citizens Executed town where coexistence rules fairly and fully, and is fair and fair society that we live in progressing towards abolition of the institution of monarchy anachronism, something incompatible with a progressive society, because if federalism is negotiating citizenship pact and obviously we have to be able to see that no citizen has to be above the other so I consider viable federalism from the perspective of an avowed republican, because it drives as simple and comprehensive as the construction of a country of the people, by the people and for the people from the base of democracy.

This is my idea of ​​what is asymmetrical federalism and these are my reasons to support it, I have more, but all stem from the fundamental principle of federalism is that the negotiation and agreement of free citizens in freedom and therefore I support.

"The dialectic confrontation is part of the essence

of democracy is and should be the basis on

 which underpin federalism "

SILENCE IS NOT MY COMPLICE

The policy of cuts carried out by the Spanish government, led by Mariano Rajoy, has a counterpoint in cases like Bankia, where the state will enter EUR 23.5 billion to clean up the accounts of a private entity.

The consolidation of this entity, far from being the tunnel exit of the crisis in which we live for years, pushing us deeper and deeper into it, since his rescue shoots our risk premium rather than pay our children and grandchildren, and hampers public accounts to support the policy of the Spanish right cuts in economic terms as saying  el país diary in an article by Alvaro Romero told us that 23.5 billion euros account for public funds:

1. Twice the snip to health and education
2. Half of the cuts and tax increases of 2012
3. More than worth all the banks in the stock market median
4. Four years of all that is spent on research
5. 80% of the debt bill


This policy of cuts, our government takes the citizen, the repayment in health care, public education of poor quality, lack of funds, a cut in social services, or payment for drugs by retirees and many others measures and all this is done by requiring citizens to understand the delicate situation in the country.


Why citizens must understand that banks have made a bad management and we have to pay everyone?, When will the banks not handing out benefits earned millions for the people?, Why those who have bankrupted the entities accountable to the masses, if the economic burden that generated it will pay all our taxes?, why education, or health of my offspring has to lose quality or must cease to be free to pay for the greed of investment bankers and populist politicians useless?

I do not vote for you to wash them with my taxes the dirt to the inept who have led the savings or who have squandered public money, and if they do it because you believe in that right and they feel entitled, they I demand that through this document, which is called to account, to tell us they've done with the money and pay their fortunes billionaire hole they have created and that is draining our public coffers, I demand that politicians, trade unionists, clergy, and plugged into all sorts of savings banks accountable to a parliamentary committee to be created expressly for defining responsibilities and that all who have sunk the savings banks, the managers return millions in pensions that have been as bad management has to be consequences can not be a bad manager and sink to an entity that drag a country without consequences, then a citizen to lose everything to stay unemployed and look up chained for life to a mortgage .

Do not forget that:

"Popular sovereignty is transferred not, popular sovereignty is delegated"

And therefore what they do in Congress do for the people, by the people and for the people.

PUBLIC MONEY

Graffiti says, “ there is no victory without struggle”

Public money pays schools, highways or operating rooms, the money coming out of our pockets and holding the sociopolitical system in which we live, that money that once regardless of the peseta and euro is now called, part of which serves to fill the coffers of the European Central Bank is being used by the state on one hand to save the banks from their desire for excessive greed, and its obvious futility to big business, while this happens, the worker, the average citizen, the national or immigrant workers, the unemployed, the young student, or old, come as health is cut or have to pay more for drugs, as in their education spend less money and access rates rise, we said to have to pay more taxes to support a welfare state cut, said in the language of the people, we charge more for a worse service, and while we do that, the wage decreases alluding to the crisis and thereby suffocating the mass, and ultimately the citizen observes helplessly as the welfare state is collapsed by the leadership that justify saying no money to save it.

In a story we read that the government would cut 10,000 in health 

and education, and the other reads a bank will 

receive 10,000 million

There is money to save the banks, no money, to go hunting, there's money to support a political system full of nooks and wasteful spending and money for large peaks for years have not served more than to sink into poverty to citizens, some peaks filled with men and women of rank and prestige, now discredited, who took the reins of the system to its decline, which yesterday were unable to see the collapse of this, today we say they have the solution, and that solution is simply that we have to tighten the belt until he lost consciousness, so that some accounts may still have dreams and lives of millions, so that the caviar and champagne to keep flowing between men and women of rank and power, We are asked to voluntarily renouncing involucionemos legacy of our parents and grandparents, giving so many fought so long and so few came to give his life, asks us to give us progress as a society for the benefit of all, since We offer nothing in return, since there is a roof or curb cut, there is no roadmap nor a preconceived plan that we have shown, so that citizens know first hand when he got the start and end of the tunnel see the light of trust and ask us to do exactly the opposite of what they said they would do.


So looking back and looking at the legacy that my parents let me see a society that actively and democratically fight against a system that stole their rights, I see a society of men and women who sacrificed themselves to change things, and that succeeded in building a progressive society and progress that is now under construction, we take your witness and continue working with the chisel to polish the diamond in the rough that we have and that is called democracy, we have to do for those who did before, for those who gave their lives for it, and above all, to leave a solid legacy for our children for theirs is the future and ours is the present to build a better future in a democratic manner by all for all and for all.

son tomorrow that did nothing to

change things and that you let

others destroy as built "
