The El Dorado International Airport from Bogotaá implementó A new technologyíECOL PAINTINGógica that is equivalent to planting 1.000 áadult trees.
Well yesí, you areán reading well and whení this news stayed with meé, literally, loco. I had to read the press release several times to understand about this painting and find out about its existence., that now that I knowé that exists, I hope they implement it all over the world. This is incredible.
Así How do I tell you?, the Latin America's main airportérica has taken a new step towards sustainability and something that no one elseás has been done: plantar átrees without the need to actually do it. I explain them.
with paint, El Dorado improves the airport's air quality
El Dorado Airport remains committed to caring for the environment and the fight against climate changeático, that's why throughés of the company Murarte Global, intervened 1.000 square meters of the Terminal with a paint containing nanotechnologyía fotocatalíethics. This technologyía, Eastá inspired by the way plants purify the environment throughés of the photosíntesis, use the light, air and humidity, to eliminate pollutants that affect air quality.
The above contributes to improving air quality in urban environments., achieving a decontaminating effect similar to that achievedían 1.000 áadult trees and in tépr termsáchemicals is equivalent to taking out of circulationón 330 gasoline cars.
El Dorado is Am's first airportérich in using this decontaminating paint, thanks to which travelers, visitors, and workers, breatheán an area más clean and enjoyán of spaces más healthy.
Además, this technologyíhas been recognized worldwide by organizations such as NASA and iScape, as one of the projects to markán the environmental future in the prówe go toños.

Hi Nicolas:
Thanks for your daily emails. It is living aviation in its various facets.
I have thought, if you are in Quito, Maybe you would like to see my modest collection of scale airplanes 1:400 (83 appliances). What makes it valuable to me is that I have flown all of them. And there are others 50 that have not appeared on the market (many will not). If you like, the invitation is issued.
Receive a warm hug,
