HOW HAS THE CURRENT SITUATION HELPED THE PLANET?

We have had the opportunity in this quarantine to explore and self-analyze in many ways. As many things have not changed in this situation, before all this, the routine was to get up, go to work and return home to rest. Today is the first time for many that nature forces them to stop and feel.

It goes without saying that quarantine affects not only us, but also animals and the environment.

Advantages for the environment:

The reduction of greenhouse gases, acid rain, which are the main causes of global warming, taking this into account we know that then there was also a reduction in warmer temperatures, less intense storms, less melting of glaciers, among others.

The decrease in the illegal traffic of wild fauna, since we are all isolated, most of the animals are free, the can be in their habitats without fear of being captured and snatched from it, and we have also managed to recover many species that were in danger of extinction .

Decrease in CO2 emissions of at least 25%, due to a reduction in the consumption of fossil fuels such as oil, gas or coal, among others.

"This health crisis must be a wake-up call"

Disadvantages for humans:

The economic situation is very alarming, since many people are

workers, depend on trade, and by isolating everyone, they are out of a job, since companies do not have many sales (or at least most), without counting the large number of street vendors who live and for the most part support their families from day to day, and when they close to everyone, they fall into a very bad situation, since they have nothing to supply their needs.

Tourism is closed to all, the borders of the countries, and ports

will not open their doors, and people who

 are in different countries,
different from their native or where they lived, are separated from it, and will not be able to return to their homes for a good time, not to mention that there are people who go to other countries to adopt children to raise them in their country, a situation that we cannot do today, since registries, and other offices are not attending, and online is very complicated, So these children are still homeless.

The mental situation, many people who have psychological problems,

follow their routines of these, being 

in quarantine do not present these activities

 of which they are accustomed, not to mention

 that many people are alarmed by the fact

 of being locked up for a long time, knowing that there is a virus out there killing many people every day, and many more things that worry them, they drive a lot of anxiety about the situation today, and with it the depression.
