Sustainable Development Goals What are they and what do they mean?

Surely you have heard of them, and if not, soon, you will see that different media will echo them. They were established in the General Assembly of the United Nations in September 2015, in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, an action plan in favor of people, the planet and prosperity, which also intends to strengthen universal peace. and access to justice. The Member States of the United Nations approved a resolution in which they recognize that the greatest challenge in today's world is the eradication of poverty and affirm that without achieving it, there can be no sustainable development. Below we list what they are and what each of them pursues:

1. Eradicate poverty in all its forms throughout the world.

From our point of view, the arrival of the pandemic has endangered the achievement of the vast majority. This is why we consider it necessary for the media to talk about them, because despite the current situation of health and economic crisis, the drive to achieve these goals must be extended and supported by citizens on the street to its achievement. A few years ago an expert on the subject came to the university where I was studying and this point of view that I present here is the one that she particularly defended. If each one puts their grain of sand, no matter how small, many grains in the end manage to become an important mass capable of achieving their goals, without the political color that governs them being able to prevent them from achieving them. At Rewinder we work every day on the design and production of textile alternatives for people's daily lives, where our main objective is the eradication of single-use materials. Currently, our project complies with twelve of the seventeen Sustainable Development Goals. We strive to improve and we absolutely believe that the fruit of effort, passion and love of life will make us go far to achieve a better world for everyone. The UN is made up of an enormous immensity of colors, beliefs, political and social diversity, if they manage to come together to meet the established Objectives it will be wonderful, but this does not prevent citizens, like you and us, from waiting for this to happen , let us gain ground and manage to guarantee the future.
