HOW GREEN ARE YOU?

Hi, I don’t know much about environmentally friendly practices; neither have I known places where the people learn about this topic.

However, in the university there are several environmental organizations. Some work the problem of homeless animal, the care of green areas or some that work the recycling topics. Particularly in the “Campus Juan Gomez Millas” there are many groups that work this topic. These organizations are coordinated in a place called “JGM Verde”. They did a project that consisted in install in different places of campus three dumps into a metal structure. Each dump has a different color for recycling: red, green and yellow.

About my practices, usually I do not recycle, but I have tried. Through the year collect many photocopies in my room and I have sought a place to recycle but I have had a couple of problems. The photocopies are very heavy and I do not move, and I don’t know how to carry them.

I like cycling. Usually I use the bicycle for moving in the city and I like walk. But, I did not join to some eco-organisations, because I do not have time and I am not interested in this topic. I would like cycling more and I can recycle my photocopies. Also would like to learn more things about this topic, for example which things can be recycling easily.

I don’t know how reduce the carbon footprint, but I would like to learn about it, because to care the environment is very important for the society.

POST 3: A COUNTRY YOU'D LIKE TO VISIT

Well, is very difficult to me make a decision of only one country I would like to go, but if I have to prefer one I would like to visit Cuba, because I would like to see how works the Cuban society, how people organize their lives and of course visit historical and natural places of the country.

I know a little of the Cuban revolutionary process and my motivations to go would be to learn

more about that and see with my own eyes the places where did the revolution. Some of

these places may be Santa Clara, the Sierra Maestra jungle, Bahia Cochinos, Giron beach, and

certainly the capital, La Habana city. Other reason I would like to visit these places is because their natural and architectonical beauty.

I would also like to visit the University because it receives students of all countries and health

services too, because the Cuban health system is recognized over the world as a very integral

system.

Finally, I believe I’d like study or work there for a couple of years may be in some program

related with my discipline or other interesting area that presents.

Dolphin

First I had thought chose to my cat, but clearly this was not the idea of ​​post. So, I started to thinking in an animal that I like and have seen. In Santiago is difficult think in an animal, because many are pets and are more commons.

So, I was thinking in some travel or someplace interesting. Finally, I chose an animal that I had always called attention: the dolphin. I had seen to his animal three time in different places. First, when I was sixteen years old, with my brother and mother went to “Tierra del Fuego” and when we crossed to strait of Magallanes, dolphins swam in the sides of the transfer.

The second time that I saw a dolphin was when I travel to the Amazons. Whit a friends took a boat and sail on de Marañon river. This river meets with the Ucayaly rivers and they become into the great Amazons river. There, also dolphin swam the sides of boat, and I can see very closer because de boat was more little.

Finally, in the jungle I could touch a dolphin – but was not authorized – in a place same a zoo. The dolphin was coming when you moved your hand into the water. Also, appear that the dolphin liked play because his was hiding and appeared in te water.

I don’t kwon so much respect to dolphin, but I liked. I like because is a animal that I see in two trip and they are fun and intelligent. Besides your skin is softly and leave to love.

F.A.R.R.A

Always is difficult chose a song, singer favorite, book, writer or film favorite. But, this time will choose a song that I like and I can hear many times without getting bored. The song is called “F.A.R.R.A”. The singer is “Subverso”, his real name is Vicente Durán, and he born in USA, after, when he was a child, came to Chile specifically to Villa Francia. In this place he development his music and other things. This is a raps song of love.

The singer declares his love and the importance of the people in their lives, in your everyday life, creating a different love, committed to the people. The first time I heard was with some friends in my house, and I knew many other songs. After, in other time the listen again, it heard very times for heard the letter and I liked so much. F.A.R.R.A is an especial song for mi, because I feel represented whit letter of the song, beside I like very much the hiphop. Also, it reminds me of my partner and is a song shared and felt by both.

Here, I leave the track http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyh4EOsMP1Y

many Americans gave up hope year – 2012 will be worse

The article that I chose called “many Americans gave up hope year – 2012 will be worse”. I chose this note because de last weekend I read a article of newpaper “Punto Final” about this topic. In wich a sociology was reffering of socio-economic moments that will live in the economic crisis.

The article talks abouts of “American Dream” and de actual economic crisis. This crisis presents similar aspect that the last crisis originated in USA. The topic of “property boom” still present, also high nevels of unemployment in USA and Europe (Spain, Italy, Greece). But, also the crisis arrive to Latin America, for example Brasil that it is a emerging-market country.

However, the article presents a alternative called “good news”. This mean that “addressing these long-term problems would actually help to solve the short-term problems”. For example in politic enviromental would alow create jobs and improve the economy.

Also talk about a rebalancing of economic power – in fact in the world. This phenomenon was present a couple ueras ago. Finally, the article talk about the possibility that to accelerate generating tension politic around de world after 12 months.

In general, the article talk of economics topic, but also social topics like umemployment and people’s perceptions.

My favorite movie

My favorite movie is "Violeta se fue a los Cielos". The film was released this year in Santiago and the director was Andrés Wood.

This Chilean movie is about to life of singer "Violeta Parra". Angel Parra, the son of Violeta, writes her biography and Wood extracted some moments of the book for make the flim. For example, as a child, when she travels around Chile, especially trips to country of Chile and also out of country.

I like this movie because it shows a life very important for Chilean history, that is little known for de people. But, what I like the most is the image of film, the fotography, the acting and actors, besides the film received a good responce from film critics and was one of the most view.

The last book

The last book I read was "the mountain is more than a vast green steppe". This book was written for Omar Cabezas. He was a student of the Autonomous University of Nicaragua in the decade of the 60 and he was student leader of the “Frente de Estudiantes Revolucionarios, FER”. This organization belonged to the “Frente Sandinista de Liberación Nacional, FSLN” which fought to overthrow the Somoza dictatorship.

I like this book because tells a part the story of the Revolution in Nicaragua. The author tells his experiences in the “guerrilla” in the city, in the field, in the mountain. Related who he joined the FSLN, his feeling, showing the importancie of compromise with a proyect that seek change the society.

Is a small books that teaches since from everyday life, and forces who reads it to think abouts his own life.

This book I seek during one years in all place where sold books. One day I was walking for a “Galpón” of “Persa Bío-bío” and see the book in the distance in a shlef. I go immediately, I take and ask for the price. Whitout releasing of hand I am lookin for a books. Finally, I bought two books.
