Abstract
Technological and scientific improvements have been neglectingNature, mankind and life itself as one single matter. Therefore,we live in a paradoxical situation: on one hand, society is reachingprovisions with more convenience. On the other hand, a cartesianconsciousness is taking place where everyone is part of that samemosaic and yet independent and without uniting purposes. Thishas raised a global movement of ideas and habits slaughtered bydisrespect for local cultures, climate realities and so on. A changeon paradigm is demanded, a new consciousness where an integratedand systemic vision prevails. In all sectors and branches, thisis necessary and possible. This way the search for cultural estatepreservation and better inhabitability conditions –main basis for allhumanity, such as health, work and freedom, cannot be put aside.The present subject is a draft of restless views, propositions andpractices involving means to use materials of low impact as an exerciseto rescue and preserve values. This intention presents otherways to guarantee better living conditions for future generations.Apuntes is registered under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License.
