Before his talk, attended the media and when asked if they still needed this type of activities to raise awareness of environmental care, Araujo was blunt, stating that "they are indeed necessary, since we are 'eating' a our mother is nature and life. "
The speaker added that he considers it a privilege "when I have become a lay preacher and not stop going around in our country, giving talks, writing, talking on the radio and television, with the hope that in the budgets of the sensitivity and behavior of people is taken into account to life, in the broadest sense of the word, we are able to devour all, considering the sayings of our ancestors when they said "this can feed your father's feet "and this has become reality, we are eating our mother who is the Nature and life, and tries to put a little stop to this and the only tool that is quite legitimate for me to understand The word, reasoning, the transmission of emotions and sensitivity to, if you want to target someone else do it. "
Juana Guardiola, Councillor for Culture applauded this talk "we were fortunate to have in Jumilla, perhaps the most experienced and authoritative voice in Culture and Environment has been a pleasure."
Guardiola said that "we are delighted by his defense of rural life and agriculture and the values involved."
As for the conference on why we must preserve the environment?, Joaquín Araujo said it is "to demonstrate that we have some intelligence, some tenderness and of course that we have recovered the culture of all time."
He said that "man has always been consistent with allowing him to live until he decided he could live without the elements that nature provides us with service and from there made of a historical date that may well be located around 150 years ago, we directed our civilization exclusionary conduct, very violent, plundering of almost all sources and basic principles of life and that is leading us to a paradoxical situation and we want the whole for the whole everyone wants everything and that not only exceeds the limits of physical possibilities of the world, but far beyond the limits of the most elementary to return to sanity and common sense, to dialogue, coexistence, caring, respect, consideration of the favors and gifts that the species has received since the dawn of time. "
Araujo added that "we have launched and for a long season, which has a common name is the ecological Culture includes many aspects as any other culture in the history of humanity, just based on a fundamental principle life is totally dependent on our decisions, our decisions are not contrary to life, therefore, is a culture of the armistice, essentially a pacifist and tends to be much more fair, because there is no coexistence with our world if we lower the aspirations , greed and ambition that is what prevails in the current model. "
Asked about who bears responsibility for this lack of respect for the Environment, said, "is in the hands of the estates that control the wireless operation of our own civilization in its broadest sense."
"There are very few people who decide for too broadly so, from the standpoint of political sociology, you know, in a society like ours, the decision actually taken less than 400 people in a country of over 40 million and the share is fully transferable to all states and the whole of a globalized economy we are now experiencing and enjoying at the same time. "
The speaker added that "hence the changes and corrections almost never come up, but the responsibility is, above all, those people who base the functioning of the economic system is not considered to have no limits."
Finally, adding that "however, society can not claim that is not informed, we have reported, not so much as would have been good, just and necessary, but certainly no one can say he does not know much more than using the car because it is contributing to climate change, if intended to have air conditioning in inappropriate dates, is contributing to the atmosphere or fall apart when you have an unlimited appetite for more of everything is contributing to more radical injustice is to be someone is running out of something. "
The talk, held at the Cultural Hall of the CAM, attended by nearly a hundred people, many local youths.
