There are people who fight one day and are good. There are others that fight for a year and are better. Some fight for many years and are very good. But there are those who fight all their lives, those are the essential ones.” This inspiring phrase by Bertolt Brecht is the axis of the tribute that Obra Social “la Caixa” offers to all people committed to others. To the people who dedicate their lives to fighting for those who need it most. Everything, to build a better and fairer society for everyone. Because all these people are essential.

"The Essentials" Campaign "The Essentials" Campaign And this tribute is extended to each and every one of the collaborators, volunteers, donors, members of the entities. Without all of them, the work we do would be impossible. Each person, from their own possibilities, those who contribute with their time, their actions, donations, show their will and commitment to building a more just world and all of them are essential.
A recognition that is worth sharing and inviting more people to join. We know that Oxfam Intermón 's work to end poverty is not a one-day task. One in three people in the world lives in conditions of poverty and this mobilizes us to act to combat it, day after day. Searching for allies and generating a global movement is the way to achieve this. That is why, today, we join the Asia Mobile Number List conlosimprescindibles campaign and we request that you do so too. Because fortunately it is a contagious movement. NGO inside also add that incandescent light bulbs are still used in most homes (which are no longer produced in the EU, following environmental regulations approved in recent years), the extra electricity we consume without realizing it multiplies exponentially.

Use certain cleaning products how-we-pollute-the-environment Most cleaning products from the industry are made with potentially toxic products , and some are even very polluting . To avoid them, carefully read the composition of the products you purchase or, if you dare, we suggest that you make them in your own home with completely natural components . Below we offer you some examples of completely biodegradable and homemade cleaning products, although you can find much more information on the subject on the Internet: Fabric softener: in addition to being environmentally friendly, homemade fabric softener made simply with vinegar (half a liter), water (1 liter) and baking soda (a couple of tablespoons) will allow you to save a few euros, which is always good! Silver cleaner: chemicals used to clean cutlery or other silver objects are usually highly toxic and abrasive, but you can replace them with a simple banana peel: by rubbing the inside of the skin against the silver objects you will be able to clean them and make them shine like never before. Wood restorers: putties to cover scratches and dents on wooden furniture can be replaced with shelled walnuts: if you rub them on the scratches, you will see how they disappear in a few minutes without having to use abrasive products of any kind.
