@@EllisWR you are so right. You look at those billionaires. Who have to have security details watching out for them. They can't just walk down the street without thinking somebody will take them or their kids. My saying as long as you have enough for a roof over your head and food in your stomach. That's all you need. Your videos show this. This video also shows that these people have way more than most of us. Those views are to die for. Enjoy your memories. Those are the riches you are gaining and the investments your are making in yourself and others.

Definitivamente hay que cuidar el lago, sin embargo, que le podemos exigir a los pueblos de escasos recursos si los mismos países europeos también contaminan sus fuentes. Es el caso de los juegos Olímpicos 2023 de Francia en donde el río Sena estaba altamente contaminado y a pesar de la inversión de millones para limpiarlo, no lo lograron y los competidores se enfermaron e incluso salían vomitando después de la competencia. En Guatemala ya hay proyectos para plantas de tratamiento en el lago sin embargo el dinero es el principal obstáculo. Antes esos pueblos solían utilizar jabón de coche pero los jabones naturales dejan muy mal olor y por ese motivo se dejó de usar.

[@EllisWR]

Yeah most places in the world destroy the natural beauty, it's a shame

[@sauloswaldocoxajvelasquez8933]

Después no se quejen cuando el lago esté hecho un pantano como Amatitlán.. El jabón es contaminación directa....

[@EllisWR]

I'm not the one polluting it. All the towns on the lake use bleach and man made soap in the lake (they could use natural soap) They also all pump sewage into it and throw plastic into it...

[@philipmenezes5509]

How did you learn spanish?

[@EllisWR]

Just speaking to people, it's pretty bad!

[@JoseCalderon-su2sj]

Que mal que estas personas contaminen los pocos lugares hermosos que tenemos, las autoridades deben tomar cartas en el asunto y no permitir más estos actos y cuidar que las aguas residuales caigan al lago porque va a terminar como el lago de Amatitán.

[@EllisWR]

Yeah things have to change, the damage will be irreversible

[@franciscoflores3120]

The lake is not for laundry

[@EllisWR]

People have done their laundry there forever. If you use natural soap it is no problem. The issue is they don't care about the environment and the wildlife so they use man made soap and bleach.

[@marioroberojeda4109]

¿La pregunta aquí es si ustedes también lavan sus ropas con jabones naturales? Si la respuesta es "no", entonces están haciendo lo mismo pues, aunque no laven directamente en un lago o rio, las aguas negras siempre van a parar a esos afluentes en todas partes del mundo. Son pocos los países que tienen plantas de tratamiento.

[@EllisWR]

Many places have treatment. Yes I do agree though things in life should be natural

[@cieloazul2454]

Make sure that if you ask to try the products that people sell on the street, you have to pay them because they lose, I say this because you asked someone to try the avocado and you didn't pass it on.

[@EllisWR]

Nah, any good seller let's you try before you buy. If the product ain't good I'm not buying it, the avocado was bad.

[@cieloazul2454]

I am a native Guatemalan, there are towns where they already protect this kind of sellers, because they do not even get the basics with what they sell, all the towns have their own laws, you get very good content with all that, another good youtuber paid him all that which in dollars is very little money

[@EllisWR]

@cieloazul2454 We don't have dollars, we're English and have purely Quetzales considering we're in Guatemala. This channel isn't about throwing money around like most. Bizarre to suggest because we are white we have lots of money because newsflash, we dont work.
