Siete mil millones de sueños. Un solo planeta. Consume con moderación"
In order to motivate people to become active agents of sustainable and equitable development; promote the fundamental role of communities in changing attitudes towards environmental issues, and to promote cooperation for environmentally sustainable, the General Assembly of the United Nations, proclaimed on June 5 as World Environment Day.
El bienestar de la humanidad, del medio ambiente y el funcionamiento de la economía dependen de una gestión responsable de los recursos naturales del planeta. Las personas estamos consumiendo muchos más recursos naturales que los que el planeta puede proporcionar de forma sostenible. Muchos de los ecosistemas de la Tierra están llegando a puntos críticos de agotamiento y un cambio irreversible, empujados por un aumento de la población y del desarrollo económico. Para 2050, si continúan las actuales pautas de consumo y producción y con el aumento de la población a 9,6 mil millones, necesitaremos tres planetas para mantener nuestros modos de vida y consumo.
Vivir teniendo en cuenta los límites planetarios es la mejor estrategia para asegurar un futuro sostenible. La prosperidad humana no puede suponer un coste a la Tierra. Vivir de forma sostenible significa hacer más con menos.
La Feria del Caballo (Horse Fair) is one of the most important celebrations in the Spanish municipality Jerez de la Frontera, only comparable to Easter religious celebrations. It is the most important fair in Cádiz and has been declared as international interest celebration.
Its origins are in the medieval ages, during one week farmers gathered to sell and buy animals, in Jerez mainly horses, usually drinking sherry to celebrate the deals.
Nowadays it is celebrated in Parque González Hontoria. It is always celebrated in May.
The Feria is divided in two parts: one is a kind of small village, with streets that have bars and restaurants at both sides (these restaurants are called Casetas). The other is a Theme Park/carnival style area where kids and grown ups can have fun on different rides such as roller coasters, bumper cars, etc... At the Feria de Jerez all the casetas are public, so anyone can just walk into any one and enjoy the food, drinks, and dancing. At night time there is a sort of "roof" of pretty decorative lights lighting this little "village" like area, which allows the party to last all the way till dawn.
The first day of the month of May is known as May Day. It is the time of year when warmer weather begins and flowers and trees start to blossom. It is said to be a time of love and romance. It is when people celebrate the coming of summer with lots of different customs that are expressions of joy and hope after a long winter.

In the town where I was born, Lived a man who sailed to sea,
And he told us of his life, In the land of submarines,
So we sailed on to the sun, Till we found the sea green,
And we lived beneath the waves, In our yellow submarine,
We all live in a yellow submarine, yellow submarine, yellow submarine,
We all live in a yellow submarine, yellow submarine, yellow submarine.
And our friends are all aboard, Many more of them live next door,
And the band begins to play. (Trumpets play)
(Refrain)
As we live a life of ease. Every one of us has all we need,
Sky of blue, and sea green, In our yellow submarine. (Refrain)
