3 Reply. Cordial greeting tutor and colleagues my name is María Paula Villamar, I am 19 years old, I am a business administration student in El Bordo, Patía, Cauca. My email: [email protected] With respect to the video indicated in our “crushing” guide, one of the many consequences that arise from the non-consent of us as human beings to the environment can be evidenced, where in this case it is the polar bears Like their habitat, they are totally destroyed, without resources that they can feed on, acquiring waste that they themselves seek walking for kilometers to be able to obtain them and not starve, presenting a high state of malnutrition and exposed to temperatures not suitable for their live. Where we are told that it is time to take an urgent reflection not only because of polar bears because in reality there are many animals that are dying together with our planet due to pollution, although this is the main issue ignored because so far we have not been the ones who have to go through some situation. But if you do not act respectfully we will pay the consequences.

Greetings. Dr. Adriana Anido I am addressing you hereby to initiate a discussion about the Colgate Palmolive Company, since these products are affecting the environment not only with their high chemical components for the preparation of the same but also the packaging used for marketing which take many years to be totally damaged.

They pollute the water a lot and for a second it is a high plastic pollutant in the world and not only hurts us directly as people, but also damages our ecosystems as well as the habitat of many species worldwide, increasing the level of waste every day. which are not

5 reusable or biodegradable, for the raises and our subsistence, it is necessary to take care and act against this problem which is of an urgent nature through more sustainable methods such as bamboo brushes, organic toothpastes, products of cleaning without toxic chemicals among others, a high amount of garbage waste has been found in many countries, this company produces an excessive amount of plastic Around 100,000 pieces or portions of plastic collected were made of materials that are impossible or very difficult to recycle, such as polystyrene, PVC (polyvinyl chloride), PET (polyethylene terephthalate) -used s Work everything in bottles - or the single-use plastic film. Currently, the production of plastic has reached 320 million metric tons per year and in the next decade is expected to grow by 40%, which will exponentially increase the release of greenhouse gases, since 90% of plastics They are produced from fossil and polluting energies. Like its components in which triclosan is in toothpaste as a preservative which is harmful to health since it causes toxicity in our liver, I believe that you as manager of the Colgate Palmolive company, you must take urgent measures to reduce environmental pollution using strategies to preserve the environment and the health of its consumers.

Thank you for your attention.

A cordial greeting, María Paula Villamar
