Story Text

¿Cuánta de tu tecnología serías capaz de abandonar? Una pareja francesa que vive en Boulogne, Francia, está realizando un experimento. Únicamente usan tecnología básica en su casa para crear una vida sostenible y libre de residuos. Sus métodos de bajo consumo tecnológico son todos hechos por ellos mismos. Al líder de este proyecto, un ingeniero francés, le parece que usar alternativas de bajo consumo tecnológico puede reducir significativamente la emisión de gases de efecto invernadero y el consumo del agua. Su hogar ecológico incluye baños sin agua y cocina solar. La meta de la pareja es restringir enormemente no solo sus emisiones de dióxido de carbono, sino también su consumo de agua. Los investigadores examinarán la practicidad y el atractivo de este estilo de vida después del experimento de cuatro meses. Según las opiniones de las personas en línea, no siempre es posible llevar una vida de bajo consumo tecnológico si el trabajo de la persona requiere el uso de tecnología más avanzada. Ojalá todos pudiésemos llevar una vida sostenible pero hasta entonces, estas pequeñas acciones pueden hacer una gran diferencia.
