One remembers to us, that from the 16 to the 22 of September celebr the eighth edition of the European Week of Sustainable Mobility, under the motto Improvement the climate of your city with the aim of ” to modify hbitos” of the citizens and to promote ” alternative methods of transporte”. More than 2,000 European cities they programmed different activities. A measurement that is expected the preprohibition that the Latin American governors decide to imitate. But, as he indicates lainformacin indicated one is due to demand much more. One week is important, but we forgot the subject the other 51 weeks of the year, nothing changes.

One is due to demand to governors a serious planning for the readjustment of the cities and to participate actively in the discussion, implementation and control of those plans. And also to readapt we ourself, to change our habits to us, between which it is replacing the automobile by less polluting means of mobility, that must be one prioria, emphasizes equipment EcoPortal.net the Writing Definitively, as it express Martha Meir, the vehicles are quick, voracious, they devour fuel and distances. Their eyes shine at night and from far they seem stars. Blatantly undemocratic, they marginalize without repairs of his handling to the childhood, the people of outpost age and men and women with physical incapacity. The city is its empire and the people its slaves. They are automobiles! , Owners and gentlemen of the ways. Soft tin seducers turned into true symbol of our century and who, whatsoever, are a great victory of engineering. Wonders of the technology that after all are not more than ” ogros” of four rims! They are the five main classes of polluting agents of the air that ” escapan” of the cars: the carbon monoxide; the sulphur oxides; particles between which it appears the lead (that is accumulated in the organism, causing the evils renal, hepatic, low production of hemoglobina and interferes with the cerebral and nervous functions); oxides of nitrogen and gaseous hydrocarbons.

These two last ones, when reacting with the solar light form the base of ” smog” , that is to say the photochemical oxidating peligrosismos like the irritating and reddish gas nitrogen dioxide; The known explosive liquid like peroxiactil nitrate; poisonous aldehydes and other liquids. Many of these substances are recognized cancerigenic. The most modern cars, through catalysts, the dangerous carbon monoxide is transformed into carbon dioxide (or carbonic anhydride CO2). This compound directly does not affect the health but it knows that ” precipitates feared; effect invernadero”. For the case of the call ” gasoline ecolgica” , little used by his high price, his unique virtue it is that it does not release the frightful lead. To ” gas licuado” today is clear it as a much more clean fuel that the gasoline or the diesel engine. Lamentably it is elaborated from a nonrenewable source. Ecologically speaking the car it is a misfortune, thus consumes little combustible of fossil source.
