Our population is concentrated in the coastal desert. Lima is the second largest city the world into a desert after Cairo, and while there have river Nile with 2800 m3 of water per second, we rely on the Rimac river that does not even reach 1% of this flow (and could be reduced)
To change the course of climate change we must act Peruvians TODAY , and promote through our individual actions national and global change. Disconnect teams that we are not using. We use energy saving light bulbs (75% reduced consumption)
