1 00:00:00,430 --> 00:00:06,349 Hello, friends. Today, we're going to continue learning about the Sustainable Development Goals. 2 00:00:07,009 --> 00:00:12,710 It's time for number 12, Responsible Consumption and Production. So, here we go. 3 00:00:14,250 --> 00:00:20,730 Consumption and production happen all over the planet and depend a lot on natural resources. 4 00:00:21,750 --> 00:00:24,730 This means that they also depend on the environment, too. 5 00:00:25,350 --> 00:00:32,710 Today, production and consumption have destructive effects on the planet. 6 00:00:32,829 --> 00:00:40,229 which is why it's so important to promote sustainable production and responsible consumption by everyone. 7 00:00:41,229 --> 00:00:47,329 There has been a lot of economic and social progress over the last 100 years, 8 00:00:47,689 --> 00:00:52,829 but it has damaged the environment and endangered the natural resources that we need to survive. 9 00:00:53,969 --> 00:01:00,289 For this reason, the United Nations has set environmentally responsible production and consumption 10 00:01:00,289 --> 00:01:03,250 as a key sustainable development objective. 11 00:01:04,530 --> 00:01:08,450 Let's take a look at some data to understand what is happening. 12 00:01:09,370 --> 00:01:13,849 If we continue to consume at the current uncontrolled rate, 13 00:01:13,849 --> 00:01:21,049 by the year 2050, we will need three times the natural resources available on planet Earth. 14 00:01:21,530 --> 00:01:24,430 Unbelievable! We must put a stop to this. 15 00:01:27,310 --> 00:01:31,769 Every year, even though hunger is one of the biggest problems in the world, 16 00:01:32,310 --> 00:01:35,250 One-third of all food is wasted. 17 00:01:36,290 --> 00:01:40,450 You heard right. One-third. It makes no sense. 18 00:01:41,890 --> 00:01:48,609 In addition, energy use continues to grow, and both businesses and houses depend on it daily. 19 00:01:49,469 --> 00:01:58,049 Did you know that between 1990 and 2020, CO2 and other greenhouse gas emissions increased by 50%? 20 00:01:58,530 --> 00:02:01,049 Yes, by 50%. 21 00:02:01,049 --> 00:02:10,310 This is why it is important to use sustainable and renewable energy sources, and to promote 22 00:02:10,310 --> 00:02:17,650 responsible consumption of both the energy and the resources the Earth gives us. 23 00:02:17,650 --> 00:02:22,770 Some of the international community's goals to solve this problem are to cut food waste 24 00:02:22,770 --> 00:02:30,509 in half, promote environmentally friendly waste management, and reduce the use of fossil 25 00:02:30,509 --> 00:02:34,830 fuels such as coal and oil. 26 00:02:34,830 --> 00:02:40,770 To achieve this, it's super important to give people the tools to promote sustainability. 27 00:02:40,770 --> 00:02:46,370 It's also important to help developing countries grow in their scientific and technological 28 00:02:46,370 --> 00:02:54,810 capacity so that they can have more responsible consumption and production patterns. 29 00:02:54,810 --> 00:03:00,250 For all these reasons, achieving more responsible production and consumption requires an effort 30 00:03:00,250 --> 00:03:06,389 from all administrations, and from all of us as a global community. 31 00:03:06,389 --> 00:03:10,610 I have some ideas of things that we can all do to help. 32 00:03:10,610 --> 00:03:16,990 For example, we can buy seasonal and local foods so that they don't travel from far 33 00:03:16,990 --> 00:03:18,229 away. 34 00:03:18,229 --> 00:03:23,990 This helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the vehicles that transport them. 35 00:03:23,990 --> 00:03:27,310 We can also use energy-saving light bulbs. 36 00:03:27,310 --> 00:03:32,590 In addition to taking care of the environment, we'll save money on the electricity bill. 37 00:03:32,590 --> 00:03:40,210 Also, we must be very careful to recycle correctly and avoid wasting water. 38 00:03:40,210 --> 00:03:45,669 Natural resources are not infinite, and it's up to us to preserve them. 39 00:03:45,669 --> 00:03:49,870 Can you think of any other ways to help make production and consumption responsible? 40 00:03:49,870 --> 00:04:23,240 This is the age for humans to live. Let's see what habit they have now. 41 00:04:24,699 --> 00:04:27,860 I am a bad consumer. 42 00:04:30,220 --> 00:04:38,029 I never think of the life when I live. 43 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:47,819 I don't like buses. My car is better. 44 00:04:48,860 --> 00:04:51,759 I don't care about using too much paper. 45 00:04:51,759 --> 00:04:59,759 There are a many cups. I don't have to leave. 46 00:04:59,759 --> 00:05:20,860 To come, I have to buy this. It's very cheap. 47 00:05:20,860 --> 00:05:29,860 Even this is not. It's only has six are paper and plastic. That is ok. 48 00:05:29,860 --> 00:05:37,860 I put all the weights in the same container as this one. 49 00:05:59,829 --> 00:06:11,240 That was it! Go for the Earth! 50 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:21,240 Let's see what good habits they should adopt. 51 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:31,240 I don't need links on if I'm not in a room. 52 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:42,550 I feel great riding the bus or walking. 53 00:06:42,550 --> 00:06:57,310 I don't need a new sheet of paper, I can use this old one. 54 00:06:57,310 --> 00:07:01,310 When it's warm, I open the window. 55 00:07:01,310 --> 00:07:24,949 I donate two hands and three clothes. 56 00:07:24,949 --> 00:07:29,949 I buy natural food without packaging. 57 00:07:29,949 --> 00:07:35,629 I separate my feet from their arms.
