Experience of our graduate Fabi Reyes - Industrial Engineering, Winner of the "Hands for the World" Scholarship in Denmark.
The volunteering "search for new alternatives for sustainable living" that I did in Brenderup, Denmark has changed me in a positive way, since I have learned different ways to take advantage of the resources we have in nature and also that many of the things we buy and use are not necessary. I want to share with the people around me that mentality that we can live in a very simple and sustainable way, making the best use of the resources we have and being able to offer nature a respite from all the pollutants and waste that man is leaving in its wake. On the other hand, I could see that Denmark is one of the countries with a deeply rooted cycling culture and that most people prefer this method of transportation that is accessible to all people in addition to having a conscience in the care of the environment such as not generating so much waste and having a vision of recycling, eating organic and national products, as well as the use of chemical-free products, to create sustainable infrastructure. In a personal way, Denmark maintains order and security for all its inhabitants. In this way we could take into account these alternatives to implement them in our country.
I would like to share this lifestyle, starting with the group closest to me and having a growth at an institutional level where we can talk and look for new alternatives for the care of the environment, as well as the creation of sustainable infrastructure. Also, to teach small actions that really improve the environment and share an ideology of simplicity leaving aside differences and arrogance.
Finally, I would like to tell young people that perseverance makes the difference as people and that, if they really believe in something, they should be encouraged to pursue it and always think about the positive and negative repercussions they can bring to others. Finally, I would like to tell them to take a risk, to make things happen and generate change, together we make a difference!
Thank you very much UNI for all the international experiences in which I was able to participate!
