TEDx talks en Español - Environmental Thinking | Manuel Ferro & Pablo Didier Aguirre | TEDxColegioAmericanoXalapa

Once a green space, then a luxurious mall... What is the impact that our new era needs are bringing to the Earth? What is the part that environmental education plays in our decision-making processes during our lives? Is it possible to enhance our actions to go along with the Earth's future? My name is Manuel Ferro Sánchez, I was born in 2003 and have lived in Xalapa, Veracruz-México since the day I was born on December 21st. I started studying at a very young, and then in 2010 I went to elementary school, Colegio Renacimiento, which only had nursery and elementary school, but later would change its name to Colegio Americano de Xalapa and add both middle and high school, so I’ve studied there pretty much my whole life, but that also means that I have pretty strong bonds with my friends there. I really enjoy drawing with graphites; watching sci-fi, fantasy, and horror movies; and playing video games, but my biggest passion has to be science. Since my very first days, I’ve been a very curious boy. I’ve always been interested in knowing why and how things happen; I really enjoy doing research and investigations on new topics in many fields such as biology, physics, etc. Pablo Didier Aguirre Luna, nací el 31 de marzo de 2004 en Xalapa, México; Soy el primer hijo de dos. Me gustan los deportes, los videojuegos y la escuela, mi materia favorita son las matemáticas y mis deportes favoritos son el fútbol y el ajedrez. Recién cumplí 17 años y ahora mismo estoy cursando el último año de bachillerato por lo que el año que viene comenzaré la universidad. Me gustaría estudiar arquitectura porque creo que es una carrera muy completa y tiene sentido para muchas otras ciencias. A lo largo he tenido la dicha de conocer distintos contextos sociales por diferentes razones, por ende me considero una persona lo suficientemente empática, social y versátil de gustos. Desde pequeño siempre experimenté un gran gusto por la naturaleza, recuerdo recorrer los parques y sitios naturales de mi ciudad de extremo a extremo en compañía de mis padres, desafortunadamente hoy día varios de esos lugares se han visto críticamente afectados por el crecimiento urbano de la ciudad.
