All the machinery used requires tons of\u00a0energy while producing\u00a0a lot of waste and disposable trash. It is\u00a0extremely\u00a0harmful for our world and it affects all of its\u00a0different natural environments, particularly\u00a0the ocean\u00a0which absorbs 90% of the\u00a0atmosphere pollution,\u00a0warming up itself to the point that\u00a0so many species get\u00a0threatened, being the\u00a0corals,\u00a0who sustain so many other creatures,\u00a0one of the most endangered ones.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"font_8\"><em><span class=\"color_14\">Vanessa believes in an\u00a0upcycling\u00a0effort towards the right way to try to fight against this kind of\u00a0negative mindset\u00a0described above.
