Our planet is a living organism and we are part of it. If we pollute, we pollute ourselves. If we take care of it, we take care of ourselves. If it's cycle changes, we change with it ... We need to stop thinking and acting like a if it was an object from which only material goods are extracted, we must learn to feel as he feels, and thus recognize the life and consciousness that inhabits it.

As simple as it may seem, considering the planet as a living being, has profound consequences for us, it could transform habits of thought and behavior deeply rooted and, therefore, a new relationship between man and the environment, that, it should be emphasized, are not two separate beings, is one.

Currently, it is common for individuals to be unfamiliar with environmental problems and not be clear of how to participate in their community to help protect the environment. To change this reality, it's necessry to create environmental awareness through education, training and capacity in environmental values. Environmental education is fundamental for the evolution of mankind. Only through it, citizens will take responsibility for their contribution to the processes of environmental degradation and make a clear commitment to the protection and conscious forms, conservation and sustainable use of natural resources.

This should be a change from the root, not only from the surface. Do not just read about it, nor plan and dream that someday we will live in harmony with the environment. It's time to act, and for actting we must raise awareness. Education strengthens the independence and autonomy of people and allows making informed and responsible decisions. The goal of environmental culture is to improve relations between man and nature and men together. It aims to make people aware of the global environment and have the knowledge, attitudes, motivations and desires to work individually and collectively in the search for solutions to current problems, to reorient their values ​​and to the forceful transformation of reality.

Creaciones Orgánicas is a service to the community, which informs and educates through videos, images, and texts that provide a clearer picture of what is going on in the environmental world view.

Natural sweeteners

"Sugar has become a constant companion in most of our lives. Whether added to our tea or coffee, or found in our favorite packaged foods we find in the supermarket aisles, sugar is hard to remove from our diet all together. With obesity levels shooting up, and greater understanding of just how sugar can wreak havoc on our health, the hunt is on for alternatives. 

But there’s a problem. Many sugar substitutes are synthetics that are no better for us than real sugar. What’s more, some of these synthetics – aspartame and acesulfame-K to name just two – have been linked to cancer."
