Ten Concepts for the Latin American Environmental Glossary

Latin America has a continental and sub-reality environment, quite different from the other continents or sub-continents in the world.
The fundamental difference is in the optical or perspective of seeing the world, indigenous or regional interests, the fresh pot of races and ethnic groups that inhabit them.
We have the biggest lungs plants, woods and forests of the world as the largest amount of land that have not yet been exploited, we have great natural resources like water and mines. Our environmental concerns are specific, and solutions should primarily promote responsible growth and inclusive of all species that live and coexist on the planet.
Global warming, weakening of the ozone layer and other important and complex environmental issues, cease to be our priority given to the advancement impassivity uncontrolled deforestation in the Amazon, human interventions that accelerate the droughts of our lakes and rivers, the largest islands in a land of solid waste, air pollution by carbon dioxide in our cities, among of other relevant situations. We then face different realities that warrant different strategies.
Therefore, at present, the analysis and proposals to the environmental concerns of the Latin American subcontinent, contribute very little to solve them, all this, because of ecological or environmental discourse, built from the approach of other environmental realities. I will avail myself of a musical analogy, to compare these realities in Latin America in different fields. This is the case of music theory in the creation of compound rhythms, to interpret the Latin rhythms, folk, Caribbean or African. The music to the middle of last century, only we could write, on the concept of binary rhythms (2 / 4, 4 / 4) that are used in military marches or ternary (3 / 4) that are used in the Viennese waltzes, among others. Given the impossibility of writing, under those categories binary or ternary these Latin rhythms and / or Africans, were rethought and created rhythms compounds (5 / 8, 6 / 8, 7 / 8, 10 / 8, 11 / 8 ... 17 / 8), which is not only the combination or sum of multiple ways of binary and ternary rhythms, and since then, our rhythms in the world have been known. The same concept of Martial or Viennese rhythms could be applied when we try to analyze the environmental reality in Latin America.
In the interest of contributing to the construction of concepts, allowing language to give a theoretical support to the Latin American environmental discourse and power and develop the necessary analytical tools for the diagnosis and search for eco solutions, left to the discretion of readers, ten concepts for the new environmental glossary.
Blue environmentalist: Technical name of the color of the planet Earth seen from space.
Eco solutions: Strategies to deal successfully with actions to protect species and the recovery of the operated areas.
Responsible growth: The capacity of the Amerindians, Africans and Asians to meet their consumption needs, from a vision bio generational.
Bio generation: It is the natural right of all species to extend their future existence in the same condition you have in the present.
Bio generational Responsible Growth: The capacity of the Amerindians, Africans and Asians to meet their consumption needs without compromising the future of all species that interact in these communities. This concept comes in contrast to the concept of Sustainable Development set up by the thinkers of the developed countries to express their need to control the current consumption in order to ensure its future generations continue to enjoy the same wealth and resources in this obtained from the territories of Latin America, Africa and Asia.
Ibero environmentalist: Citizens of the Hispanic world defending natural rights, present and future of all species that inhabit the planet.
Latino environmentalist: Citizens of the Latin American subcontinent defending natural rights, present and future of all species that interact in your community or ecosystem.
Atmospheres intervened: Are the changes which occur in the atmosphere of Latin America, due to excessive and continuous toxic emissions produced in their cities.
Mex atmosphere: The more aggressive intervention that has the air in an urban American subcontinent. Mexico City, by its geographical position trapped between mountains valley has a photochemical smog that affects 80% of the population, with ozone levels above 0.30 ppm suspended particles of 10 microns.
The Amazon Desertification: Desertification unpublished Process that occurs in the Amazon, the product of degradation, deforestation, bio piracy and burning. The Amazon is the lungs of the world, with the largest rainforest and the longest river and largest flow of water in the world and the greatest diversity of fauna and flora. The impact of desertification of the Amazon is much more than the generation of dry and arid. It is the biggest global threat to our planet.
