One cause may be the higest levels of poverty, lack of education and recycling political. But the problem don´t stop here, to lack of environmental political, there is that add the global warming that are striking more and more countries, so the earth has been hotter.

The Pereira weather has been changing as fast as other cities, the weather in Pereira 40 years ago was 1 o 2 degree C under that now, the measuring has showing this. So is time that everyone gather efforts but help to our city and to our world.

The truth a lot of people unknown and believe that this is develop when the truth is that this is capitalism aberrant but our city and our people.

Roads Pereira City.

It’s sad look Pereira’s avenues and streets after Megabus, is incredible that a city as Pereira in follow grow to has little avenues with one o two lines, that no only are little otherwise them are main city ways. Pereira is a little city proximally seventy hundred thousand habitants however the transportation issues are biggest What can wait in five years more? Confusion, commotion, chaos because this city only grew hypermarkets, neighborhoods, and neighborhoods closer but the ways not grew for other way the ways everyday are more little or same for more people, more cars What happen with planification of this city? Don’t care and government and authorities of city? And citizens What think about it? Or also Don´t care them it?

However still we believe that we are living in modern city, don’t think so, this is now and develop city without ways, without develop plan. In the world there are many cities with five, six or more million persons and there aren´t “pico o placa” is not usually to see stuck traffic, mille cars flowing everyday, ever hour easy without problem.
