The image of the cherry blossom or the Grazalema mountain range is one of the most beautiful landscapes that Spain has got and leaves you speechless. These landscapes, due to the climate change, could disappear in 30 years time, leaving the south and centre of Spain as the dunes of the African desert. It is the consequence of not taking care of what we have. On hundred years ago, the scientists did not think that humans could rise the earth temperature but nowadays the planet temperature is about 0.6 centigrade degrees. Among other measures and in order to have a minor damage or to delay the possible consequences the circular economy is proposed as a possible solution. What we achieve in this way. Is to revise the waste and o give them a double life. In order to encore this we should have a conscious education and the help governments and institutions with strict environmental rules. In the same way it should be established environmental criteria for awarding contracts to companies. After all, «being faithful in the small is a big thing».
