2 neighbours have shared what matters to them — in their own words.
“I am speaking from here, from Peru. I am interested in finding out if the fruits and vegetables here are grown using organic farming or chemical farming. The fruits are very good and very fresh. But I don't know what kind of farming they are doing.”
“నేను ఇక్కడి నుంచి పెరు నుంచి మాట్లాడుతున్నాను. ఆ నాకు ఇక్కడ ఫ్రూట్స్, వెజిటేబుల్స్ ఆర్గానిక్ ఫార్మింగ్ లో చేస్తున్నారా కెమికల్ ఫార్మింగ్ లో చేస్తున్నారా నాకు ఇంట్రెస్టెడ్ కనుక్కోవడానికి. ఆ చాలా బాగున్నాయి ఫ్రూట్స్ ఇంకా చాలా ఫ్రెష్ గా ఉన్నాయి. కానీ ఎలా ఏ రకం ఫార్మింగ్ చేస్తున్నారో తెలియడం లేదు.”

Nearby, a significant concern has been raised regarding drinking water accessibility and quality 💧 in Lima. Residents report not using tap water due to safety concerns, leading to a widespread reliance on expensive, store-bought bottled water for all domestic needs. This dependence not only creates a substantial financial burden but also contributes significantly to plastic waste ♻️, posing an environmental challenge. Addressing the underlying issues with the municipal water supply could improve public health and reduce environmental impact.
“I'm in Lima here. Lima is a very dry place with all dry mountains around. So drinking water is a very big problem. People don't use the tap water here that is there. People buy water from the shops and supermarkets for cooking, drinking, everything. So everything is coming in this drinking water in plastic bottles and for use. That's a big concern here.”
