Planetativo

As we know, everything we consume comes from nature: paper, mobile, car, electricity, bread and fruit, bricks and everything we use in modern life.

In today’s world, humanity is going beyond the limits of the planet and we are running short of nature resources. Some countries have an ecological footprint  higher than its own biological capacity – or the ability to renew nature resources. Other countries rely heavily on resources from other countries and this can be a tricky problem.
