Everyday Consumption by Claudia, Leyre, Artion and Amadou

 Hello,

One product we consume daily is chocolate.

Some materials and natural resources it is made from are  a cocoa bean and water.

Something that surprised us about my consumption is that Cacao causes lot of harm to the environment:

-Deforestation: Cacao cultivation contributes to deforestation, especially in Africa and Latin America, losing biodiversity and destroying ecosystems.

-Use of chemical products: Pesticides and fertilizers can contaminate soil and water, affecting local fauna and flora.

-CO₂ emissions: The production and transport of cocoa generates greenhouse gases, increasing the carbon footprint.

-Water consumption: Cacao cultivation is water intensive, with high costs for local water resources.

-Packaging waste: Plastic packaging and other materials can contribute to waste pollution

Sincerely,

Claudia, Leyre, Artiom, Amadou.
