38 brick kilns operate in Palmira without an environmental permit The CVC warns that it does not close the factories because it is a traditional activity despite its polluting effect. He asks for quick action from the Mayor's Office with a social plan. Mayor's Office to take urgent actions in order to mitigate the environmental impacts that are being generated in the city. low-income and therefore expect a quick agreement to improve environmental conditions.“Given that the brick-making activity is a traditional and cultural activity in the municipality, it has been exhorted that the Municipal Administration implement alternatives to reduce the environmental impacts generated by the atmospheric emissions that emanate, hand in hand with a social intervention that promotes sustainable development in the municipality, ”said Isabel Cristina Echeverri, coordinator of the CVC's Amaime Basin Management Unit.So far, the Municipal Administration replied that it is seeking agreements with the owners of these businesses for solutions recommended by the Corporation, such as building a community oven.In my opinion, we Palmirans should be more aware that we are destroying our environment. I really believe that it is not fair for us to see the conditions of our environment and that in most of them they do not seek any solution to help our environment. I am sure that if we unite we can save our environment. I think about how our environment would be in just the future, that's why I wanted through this blog to invite you to take better care of our environment, for the common good.We can reduce problems like these, by changing details in us, also distributing duties, but we have to do our part, they will see the change and it will be drastic.The problem is generated by 38 establishments dedicated to the manufacture of clay or brickyards located mainly in Coronado and Guayabal, via Tienda Nueva.Apart from the permits that the companies have not processed, the development of a morphological recovery plan is required to guarantee the recovery and geomorphological stability of the soils.As if that were not enough, the artisanal activity of clay firing is done in artisanal “Pampa” type ovens and the establishments visited do not have ducts or chimneys to verify legal compliance with the emissions standard and according to the surveys carried out with the owners, On average, each brick factory produces around 32,000 units per month, for a total in the municipality of 1,094,000 units of bricks, of which only 17.65% of the waste is reincorporated into the process, while 29.4% of these are lead to the dumps.For this, the CVC proposes the construction of a community furnace for each sector, which concentrates atmospheric emissions and these can be controlled and measured in a more effective way, or that the possibility of relocating brick-making establishments to a batch be studied. outside the urban perimeter and that the respective control is exercised in sectors dedicated to this industrial activity.My advice to us Palmirans is that we have to be more aware, that we should organize ourselves, share obligations to improve our environment, we are ending it, we shouldn't ignore reality and the reality is that we are ending our environment.
