Conclusion

Now, we are finishing our last post, and with this Blog, we realized the diverse points of sustainability, that many times are not present in society, by the big dependence of technology and many other technologicals resources, that a few years ago didn't exist.

But what we couldn't realize, besides the benefits is that there is a bad side such as the great influence we cause in the climate change, especially by the burning of fossil fuels, causing droughts, acid rains, and other damages.

Another fact that was also very relevant in this project is the disordered occupation, which is the example of the Cota 200 neighborhood, a consequence of people's inability to satisfy the economy of society and themselves. Not counting the selfishness and the ignorant acts of the government towards these people who live a struggle for their rights.

Trying to seek new sustainable means has been increasingly difficult, so the attempt to raise awareness must begin with us, the new generation - THERE IS STILL TIME TO SAVE HUMANITY.

Final Considerations of the Laboratory Class

The freshwater protozoa is hypertonic in relation to the external environment. So, it receives constant inflow of water by osmosis and, in order not to “explode”, it has pulsatile vacuoles - responsible for the elimination of excess water.

In freshwater, we can find the following protozoa, algae and molluscs:

- Amebas: freshwater protozoan

- Euplotes: freshwater protozoan

- Didinium: freshwater protozoan

- Paramécio: freshwater protozoan

- Rotifers: freshwater protozoa

- Nematode: freshwater protozoan

- Euglenas: freshwater protozoan

- Algae Chestnuts
- Green algae

- Layered seaweed

- Cotton Algae

- Filamentous algae

- Horn-shaped seaweed

- Brush-shaped algae

- Algae in the shape of dots

- Bearded algae

- Snails: freshwater mollusc

- Slugs: freshwater mollusc

- Snails: freshwater mollusc

However, the salty water protozoa rarely has pulsatile vacuoles, since it is isotonic in relation to the external environment. Therefore, it does not present problems in its osmotic regulation.

In salty water, it is possible to find the following living beings:

- Plankton: marine organism

- Bentos: marine organism

- Neon: marine organism

- Phytoplankton: marine microorganism

- Diatoms: marine microorganism

- Cyanophytes: marine microorganism

- Phytobenthos: marine microorganism

- Macroalgae: marine microorganism

- Marine herbs: marine microorganism

- Microfitobentos: marine microorganism

- Zooplankton: marine protozoan

- Marine Invertebrates: marine protozoan

- Oysters: marine molusc

- Mussels: marine molusc

- Nudibranchs: marine molusc

- Seafood: marine molusc

- Teredo Navalis: marine molusc

- Lula: marine molusc

- Sépias: marine molusc


- Octopus: marine molusc

  •      FIRST GROUP: characteristics of the revitalization projects of the neighborhood Cota 200.


Picture 01: House located at the entrance of Cota 200. This dwelling with green paint represents the artistic design of the neighborhood. Its color, structure, sewage plumbing, light pole and location in an area without environmental risks are part of the revitalization project.

Picture 02: Visual language of Cota 200. The Ateliê Project and some residents of the neighborhood made this wall. It is located a little ahead of the entrance of the neighborhood. These mandalas represent the main characteristic of the artistic conceptions made in the squares and the walls of the houses.

Picture 03: The asphalt and the painted houses are one of the characteristics that form the revitalization project of Cota 200. On the left side, we see a square with one of the main features of the artistic quotations of Cota 200; Mandalas

Picture 04: Characteristics of one of the houses of the neighborhood revitalization project. This dwelling is located at the top of Cota 200 and has as characteristics of the project, plumbing of sewage and location in a legal area; without environmental risks.

Picture 05: In the background, we see houses located in safe areas. These villas are painted in strong colors; One of the main characteristics of the neighborhood's artistic design.

Picture 06: In this image, we see a house in a safe place, with a lamppost in front of it; Revitalization project.

Picture 07: The image represents an artistic conception of the neighborhood. The wall of this house was painted, interspersed with warm and cold colors; Main colors of the revitalization project of Cota 200.

Picture 08 and Picture 17: Water Boxes; Installation performed thanks to the project. These black boxes and hoses seen in Figure 08 serve to treat and decrease the volume compared to water pressure. Thus, the water does not pass with so much intensity in the houses, discarding the risks of slides and floods.

Picture 09: Wall painted in the year 2012. This aristocratic design made by the residents of the neighborhood, through the Ateliê project, represents the London Olympics in the year mentioned above; Design of telephone booths.

Picture 10 and Picture 11: Mandalas painted by Cota 200 residents themselves. This image represents art and social inclusion promoted by the Ateliê Project.

Picture 12: Balance in an area that was formerly inhabited by irregular housing. The houses built in this place were at risk and, as a consequence of the revitalization project, they were demolished and replaced by a balance sheet. Today, this balance is part of a laser area of ​​the Cota 200 neighborhood.

Picture 13: Project to check the sea level in relation to the quota 200, and thus, you can predict landslides and other types of cases that can put people's lives at risk.

Picture 14: Entrance to Quota 200 by the walkway located on the road, which is relatively safe for people to be able to move out of the neighborhood.

Picture 15: "COM COM Project"; this project of all the support in the communitarian communication, in the publicity and in the audiovisual registry of the Cota 200. This photo was taken from a video of a lecture that we watched when we arrived in the neighborhood. The video made us understand the revitalization project better. And, the talk, in general, brought the opportunity to meet some of the members of the "COM COM Project".

·        SECOND GROUP: visible environmental impacts in the Atlantic Forest biome, caused by the disordered occupation in the neighborhood Cota 200.

Picture 01: House wreckage; sign of irregular occupation. There, there was a precarious construction in an area of environmental protection and risk. The people who lived in it had to leave. So, the house was demolished and today, in the area of danger, we see wreckage like this.

Picture 02: Small shady wooden shack in the middle of the forest. In addition to being an extremely precarious infrastructure, this house is also being occupied irregularly in the Serra do Mar - generating dangers of collapsed.

Picture 03: Place where there was an irregular occupation. The house was demolished.

Picture 04: Place where there was an irregular occupation. On rainy days, water passed through the house; resulting in flooding and landslides. Thus, the demolition and removal of these people was necessary.

Picture 05: Stream located in one of the squares of Cota 200. It should serve as a means of supply for the residents, but, unfortunately, it is not useful. It is polluted. In it as we can see, there are several types of garbage, like CDs.

Picture 06: Wrecks of yarns and pieces of wood thrown in the middle of the forest. This does not just mean a hazard on rainy days. Or, an environmental impact. It also means the lack of care of some 200 Cota residents.

·        THIRD GROUP

Picture 01: View of Anchieta Highway at the top of Cota 200. The Highway is located very close to the neighborhood and its construction was done thanks to the residents of the neighborhood.

Report of the results of the laboratory analyzes of the collected samples - Post Study (2nd part)

You guys remember that, during our field work, we obtained pH measurements using samples collected in fresh water and salt water?

So today, in this post, we'll talk a little bit about them! For those who do not know, the acronym pH means hydrogen hydrogen potential and indicates the content of free hydronium ions per unit volume of the solution. The more hydronium in the medium, the more acidic the solution; That is, more basic will be.

Anyway, continuing ... In the laboratory of our school, we observed these water samples collected during the Study. Now you're ready to see the results of those reviews! Are you prepared?

  •         Sample 01: Freshwater source - Cota 200
In this sample, no type of microorganisms were found; which was already expected, because being a source, apparently uncontaminated, it is normal not to present protozoa and few algae.

  •         Sample 02: Saltwater - Santos
In this sample, no type of organism was found either. The absence of larger organisms, such as protozoa, is normal in seawater. If there is contamination, it is a consequence of bacteria. And, unfortunately, we can’t see these types of bacteria in the microscope we use.

Characteristics of the neighborhood's environmental revitalization projects! - Fieldwork (2nd part)

Now, in this post, we will talk about the good things!

The Cota 200, as we have told you, is undergoing a great process of transformation. Their homes are being properly painted. The houses are also receiving a proper structure, with electricity, sewage network and water box.

The floor of the neighborhood is being paved and the walls of the plazas receive artistic conceptions of mandalas.

The mandalas on the walls have strong shades. Orange, light green, light pink, purple, red, brown and blue are some of the main colors of the Cota 200 neighborhood.

Whoever promotes all this artistic painting is the nucleus of the Ateliê. This core also makes painting on the tires, which serve as seedbeds for seedlings. Undoubtedly, this nucleus promotes art and social inclusion!

Remember if. There are several development centers that give support to the Cota. In case, I wanted to know about one more, here, is one more of them: the "COM COM Project".

This project gives full support to community communication, dissemination and audiovisual registration; is a project that registers, transmits and publishes through the radio, television channel or social networks all the activities that are carried out in the neighborhood.


Cool, isn't it?

Conclusion

Now, we are finishing our last post, and with this Blog, we realized the diverse points of sustainability, that many times are not present...
