ENCOURAGE THE USE OF BICYCLE AND BETTER exploitation of the natural resources

Our region once again does not do enough to take what nature gave us. Two cities as Itabuna Ilhéus and that distance between them little more than 25 km, connected by a road whose topography is flat or, at most, slightly wavy, housing Research Center, University and, perhaps, a technical school - the CEFET - does not have a cycle (paved and lit), which could cooperate in a meaningful way so that students and residents could move easily and with low cost, which would improve the transport conditions for all. Since the shift to the university, even a trip to the beach.



In contramão of many other cities around the world, such as: New York, Paris, London, Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo, Brasilia and Aracaju, among others, which currently already studying the extension of the amount of existing bike paths, even discussed the matter. Besides all the benefits to the general population, such as encouraging the practice of physical exercise, alternative transportation more efficient and cheaper, reduced demand for fossil fuel - dirty - still could be benefited, among other things, upon the call ecological, you can enjoy with security (without the risk of being hit), one of the most beautiful landscapes of the state because it is green all year.



Besides the use of bicycles for transportation, yet fail to consider the use of natural resources that could, instead of pollution and harm, improve our lives. A very important example comes from France, the interior city of São Paulo, today with more than 300,000 people (almost the same size of Itabuna and Ilhéus), where the use of sewage sludge as fertilizer on crop coffee. The cocoa and syringe as well as coffee, are not consumed in nature and may take advantage of this fertilizer is abundant and cheap, so available in our region.



Moreover, there is still plenty of aquatic plant, known as Baroness or water hyacinth, which causes problems, precisely because of lack of adequate. Who wants to see with their own eyes the wealth of the chemical composition of this species of plant, you can access, the Internet, the following work: Study of the biomass of water hyacinth, for the production of protein concentrate. Published in the following journal: Journal of Food Science and Technology. Vol.19, no.2. Campinas. May / August 1999. The authors of that work are the researchers: Rosalina ML Medeiros, Armando UO Saba Srur and Carmen L. Roquette Pinto. The authors are blended in the following bodies of Research: National Institute of Technology - Division of Environment - RJ and Department of Food Technology - UFRRJ. Even if there is not viable in the production of food, you will think of animal feed and / or incorporation into the soil, on condition of fertilizer (green manure).



While the rest of the world struggle for recovery, by recycling, cleaning and the rational exploitation of natural resources, we esnobamos what the nature, subtly, in offers. Why we will always be "a poor region rich!"
