    Evaluación de asentamientos urbanos alrededor del humedal “El Burro” en la localidad de Kennedy, Bogotá
    Montenegro Sanchez, Alejandro Alberto; Gallego Quevedo, Jhon Anderson; Copete Cossio, Hommy
    This project is based on the changes that were evident in an evaluation project in "El Burro" wetland located in Kennedy City, between the districts of Castilla and Tintal, whose purpose is to evaluate the importance of an ecosystem that oxygenates and provides environmental support to its sector, and due to a large urban deployment has been affected in the reduction of its land in the long term of 20 years date, with only 7 hectares currently, being only 13% of its total area. Colombia, one of the world's richest countries in biodiversity, is strategically adapted to the line of Ecuador in South America, for its invaluable amount of wetlands, we have more than 30 thousand wetlands according to (MADS, 2015). Of which Bogota, the main city has 35 wetlands, 20 of them are not recognized, 15 are called wetlands and strategic environmental reserves. Throughout these years, the increase in the birth rate, the economy and the diversification of the sectors, we have increased in an accelerated way the urbanization, and the adaptation of land for housing, such as buildings and residential houses, in order to visualize the almost 9,500,000 thousand inhabitants, what is the destination of the natural areas, the last step for the development of society, and the last step for the development of wetlands in the city that has been affected by the control of lands in their peripheries.

    Lineamientos para el manejo de los residuos sólidos en la Empresa el Cedro Cooperativa Multiactiva, Bogotá – Colombia.
    Muñoz Hurtado, Ana Rosa; Martin Sema, Ruth; Copete Cossio, Hommy
    In this research work is addressed the diagnosis being the main cause the lack of knowledge in the separation at the source of solid waste in the company El Cedro Cooperativa Multiactiva, The proposal is to formulate guidelines for the implementation of a plan of proper management of solid waste generated by the company allowing the reuse and use of recycled material which can be transformed into other elements such as jackets, synthetic jeans, fiberglass and others. The methods that were taken into account are inductive and analytical. In this process it was determined that % of the respondents do not know the solid waste management plan within the company, this is due to the lack of knowledge regarding basic separation techniques and lack of communication about the existence of it. Prevention, mitigation and adaptation measures were proposed. These will be carried out through environmental education through training, lectures and playful activities for company employees to raise awareness about the proper handling of non-hazardous solid waste as these can be classify, recycle and be reused again, thus avoiding deforestation and degradation of forests.

    Propuesta de un sistema de energía solar térmica como forma de mitigar emisiones de CO2. Estudio de caso Sonesta Hotel Bogotá
    Pamplona Silva, Leidy Tatiana; Romero Rodríguez, Francisco; Copete Cossio, Hommy
    The present work displays the proposal of an alternative energy system which would help to warm the water of the showers from Sonesta Hotel Bogotá. Solar thermal energy is chosen in order to replace natural gas with panels that let the activity carry through, achieving and generating and impact and forward reduction of C02 emissions generated by the company. The study shows how the company considers important to reduce the carbon footprint, thus, it is conscious about the importance of avoiding the use of fossil fuels considering the impact that these elements cause to the atmosphere. Some hotels in Colombia have implemented photovoltaic solar energy as an energy source to develop some of their needs, with the purpose of reducing the negative impact on the environment. Precisely, Sonesta Hotel Bogotá wants to propose a system based on the thermal solar energy that allows to save energy, and at the same time reduce the emissions caused by the operations made in order to heat the water used daily. This proposal would generate economic benefits by reducing the use of natural gas. Throughout this investigation some concepts are going to be used in order to promote the understanding of the mitigation strategy; these concepts are: solar thermal energy, greenhouse gases (GHG), carbon footprint, substances that affect de ozone layer and fossil fuels.
