Save the Earth

Hello classmates, this week the topic is about on environment.

I think that in actually the people know more about environment, because with the globalization we have more information on hurt the nature, with this we can work in organizations, campaigns, recycled material and many things.  The people learn about the environmentally friendly practices with the use of information, especially propaganda and the creation of ecological things for example: bicycles, electric cars, cloth bags (supermarket bag made in fabrics), recipient to recycling paper, plastic, glass, etc.   

I make wallets with “tetrapack”, also collect plastic bottles, caps, and I use cloth bags of supermarket.

Always I walk, every day, I like move the body, and especially I look the urban view, with their population, movement, buildings, architecture, etc. I walk around twenty minutes, even more, one hour, two… I use the bicycle in the summer because I have more places to visit, for example: hills, different streets, and I love the countryside, is perfect for exercise. 

I am not in any organization, because I don´t know about this, just on web, with the links, or some comments of friends, but this motivates me, I need discover in workshops, meetings the work of the people, effort for environment. Probably in the future I incorporate any organization, I am not sure…

Save the light in all places I find, turn off when not in use, in the home garden  I planted trees (Guindos) and flowers.

In summer and spring I like biciclyng on ground with awesomes sunsets, justo only in this season because on winter or autumun i have a cold.

I collect objets for recylce, i  leve in the special containers. I am conscious about this topic, but i feel that lack more persistence.  I see the “La Bioguía” “ Reforestemos Patagonia” on facebook are good virtual groups.

Santiago – Chile is a city very pollutnant, the air is totally contaminated. We need more connection with our nature, be us, find emotional solidarity... is difficult but not impossible. I think: first really feel the connection about nature, and after bit by bit help with this.

Byeee! :)

Reading...

When I was a child the books with many letters I avoided, simply because I was bored. I liked the books with paintings for look his colors. I don´t know how many books I read, but I think that I have read…. mm really… definitely I don´t know or I lost account. I just read from time to time for the schedules of University, in the summer I can read with more calm and dedication.

I enjoy with the books depending for the title, the genre for me is interesting in the moment when I start to read the book.

I don´t have favorite writer because I like many authors according to his stories, I don´t have favorite book and character from literature for variety of narratives, I can´t decided for one or the other.

 I like the “Manga” is very entertaining because I read good stories: fantastics, romantics, sci – fi, many others, all with drawings and expressions of the characters, sometimes with color, others in black and white, I prefer the last one.

 In this moment just I read “manga” that is like comics, but of Japanese authors (called “mangaka”). ¡Is awesome their drawing technics!

I took one, to, three or more days to read the” mangas” this depending on story, specially the plot that is important for the chapters, I mean, if I choose follow the “manga” or change it.

Actually I read the “manga” “Fruits Basket” by Natsuki Taraya this story is very sweet, is about of the characters have  a animal of horoscope and transfrom them.

I recommmend for people who want see and read stories very long and detailed, i mean, with many patience.  

Bye Bye :)
