¡Saludos amigo!😊

El planeta Tierra nos ha dado tanta vida que, me parece injusto que nuestra reacción sea lastimarlo con toda la contaminacion que generamos por ello, considero necesario que se formulen políticas ambientales que permitan mejorar la educación en esta área.

Te deseo mucho éxito en la dinámica, un fuerte abrazo💚

gracias por tu comentario y buena suerte. estoy agradecido. @paholags
