Resumen
In this program, the ecological issue is addressed, which is often relegated in schools to specific dates like "Water Day," but deserves a deeper and more constant discussion. It is highlighted that environmental events sometimes generate more waste than benefits, and the idea that environmental awareness should be a daily practice is promoted. The discussion focuses on Pope Francis's encyclical, "Laudato Si'," which translates to "On the Care of Our Common Home." It is emphasized that this document has elevated the environmental discussion into the public and media spheres, generating a necessary debate, especially in the face of criticism from economic powers. The program underscores the importance of this discussion, which goes beyond a simple religious topic, and addresses the responsibility of everyone, including young people and industry. A fundamental question is posed: Is individual awareness, such as saving water at home, enough if large industries are the biggest consumers of resources? This "double standard" is questioned, and it is criticized that while citizens are educated to be conscious, corporations like Monsanto or Nestlé profit economically from water. The program includes a collaboration with the collective "Memorias Saber Popular," which defines climate justice as a concept that goes beyond simple ecology. It is a "balance" between mother earth, man, and the cosmos, where what is just from nature is used and what it needs is returned so it does not degrade. It is a "commitment to struggle, to demand, and to love for the planet," demanding that those who have destroyed it answer for their actions. The scarcity of drinking water is discussed, a global problem that primarily affects the most vulnerable populations. The privatization of water is criticized, arguing that, as a vital resource, it should be a right and not a commodity for which people are charged. The example of water utility companies that profit from consumption, even penalizing those who use more, is used. The program uses music to reinforce its ideas. Songs such as "El Marranito" by Jorge Velosa, which is used in schools to promote environmental awareness in children; "Madre Tierra" by Kulcha Candela, which generates a reflection on the "pacha mama"; and songs by bands like Mago de Oz and Aterciopelados that talk about the planet's deterioration are mentioned. The music serves as a call to action and a reminder that human beings are "self-annihilating." The episode concludes with a dramatic audio segment, a "horror dream," that personifies the Earth. In the dream, the Earth speaks and complains about the "wounds" humans cause it: the contamination of rivers, the cutting down of trees, and the death of animals. The Earth warns that if action is not taken soon, it could die, taking all of humanity with it. This segment serves as a strong final message to motivate the audience to become aware.
