I think that would suit u. But let's talk enviroment. I know the situation in Lima and other great cities of south america are critical. One of the many reasons that I don't fly over any more is the great love I have for my lungs. The problem in Latinamerica right now I belive is the unabilty to think of the future. Everything that is build is build for today and the goverments seems not to be thinking that other generations are yet to come. Sometimes I look at Peru and think that the swedish model would work wonders there, but then again only 9 million swedes reside here and that is a drop in the ocean when it comes to Peru. I don't know if u remenber how I was telling u about the way houses are build here Amy, all that stuff of natural AC. Well not only that but every single house and deparment that is build right now in stockholm is in almost 90% made out of recyclied materials. All our roads are made out of old plastic bottles or tires. We recycle all of our cans and plastic bottles (we get a small amount of money for that) We have special recycling "houses" near so that we are able to recycle or own trash( I've been down there throwing stuff like almost every day, recycling paper, glas, electrical material and other stuff) I guess that here in Sweden we are more concerned about the future than in Peru and therefore we do our cut to mantain the enviroment as clean as posible. Only last year the goverment passed a motion that stated that every car that passes through stockholm had to pay an enviroment fee, this resluted in more people leaving their cars at home and taking public transportation. Hybric cars don't need to pay seeing as they are enviroment friendly. The fee money are then used to improve roads, improve public transportation and other stuff I cannot remenber know. I mean even the water I drink is recycled! But for this model to work in for example Peru, u need money. Money to build better trash stations, recycling areas, a working public transportation. If i could be presindent for one day i would: * Improve the infrastructure of Lima, as u were saying, better rodes, sidewalks, more lights so that streets don't give out the vibe "i'm so getting mugged here" * Start one huge public transportation service that involves all of Lima. All buses would be hydric and we would have bus stops and buses that run according to a schedule. * Give the permition to investigate if it is possible to build a metro in Lima * Throw funds on the universitys of Lima asking for the profesors there for ideas on how to improve Lima. * Rebuild all trash stations, build them underground or in suitable places. Find ways to recycle the trash. * Water recycling plants * Rebuild all plumping in Lima * Order people to use low energy lamps in there houses * Use solar and wind power to make energy Oki I'm stopping now cus my list would be to damn long! Of course I wouldn’t let u be president but how about minister of culture? I think that would suit u.
But let’s talk enviroment.
