How green am I?


Well, I don't know exactly where people used to learn about environmentally friendly practices, maybe the children do it at school, and the older people do it seeing other persons doing it or maybe searching information in internet. In my personal experience, I don’t use to recycle, because I don’t know where recycling companies are, and also, we don’t have a car for carry the trash. But I use to occupy plastic bags, bottles, cardboard boxes, etc, until they are useless... I try to occupy it again and again, and don’t throw it.
About the cars, how I said before, I don’t have one, so I need to use my own legs... I don’t have the habit of using the cycle, because I don’t know how to use it very well.Sometime ago, I tried to join to “Greenpeace”, but I didn’t do it because I’m not vegetarian, and I thought that people would look at me with bad eyes for that reason. But I helped them with signature collections, for example for save polar bears of the Arctic.  Also, I’m always seeing information about environmental things, like documentary, press articles, etc. In the future I want to recycle and have a lot of plants and trees hahaha J and also I want to have a big piece of land, where I could have a lot of homeless dogs and cats, or maybe every homeless animal in the world. I’d like to have an electric car too.
For reduce my carbon footprint, I don’t take long showers, we turn off and unplug electric things that we are not using in that moment. We changed paraffin stove for a gas stove. And I think that the society don’t have awareness about environmental problems; personally I think that a lot of people are disconnected with the nature, they think that people and nature are different things, but we are only one, we need nature and nature need us.

THE END IS NEAR

Hi... today I'm going to be like "Salfate"  :)
All of us heard about the earthquake and tsunami which affected to Japan in 2011. It was a horrible natural disaster. As a consequence of this catastrophe, thousands of people died, another thousand were injured, and a lot of persons still disappeared until today. Beyond this, the economy, the construction, and of course, the feelings of the people were severely impacted. 
But now, another consequence of this disaster is near to happen... and it will affect to the entire world... with the big movement of the tectonic plates, a lot of buildings were affected, it include to the nuclear centers of this country. 
Few days ago TEPCO (Tokyo Electric Power), confessed that the nuclear center called "Fukushima Daiichi" is sinking slowly. The building now is sunken 80 centimeters. This information was given by the Japanese diplomatic Mitsuhei Murata, and then was ratified by TEPCO. 
The reactor number 4, was the most impacted by the tsunami, earthquake and the later explosion; it still contains 1500 spent fuel rods, and the pool with radioactive water which is damaged. Experts says that the eventual collapse of this reactor will generate a radioactive catastrophe without precedents, WHICH COULD LEAVE A BIG PART OF THE PLANET INHABITABLE!!!
So, get ready for the catastrophe, enjoy your last moments, and if you want you can pray... because the end is near. :)!

Migration on the EU


Theresa May is the home secretary of the UK, and she is going to propose a new idea: more restrictions for the migration in the EU. She sees that a lot of people are migrating to UK, and she wants to change this situation. This idea is considered as one of the strictest about migration. She thinks that her idea will have the support of others members of the EU, like Netherlands… even if sources of Foreign Office says that this idea will have a bad reception on the citizens.
As a consequence of this, the government announced a referendum.
In the notice, a dispute between EU and the UK is described. This dispute is about the “residence test”, which limits the benefits of the new arrivals. “People who are not dependent of a worker or self-employed person, or are judged to be a burden on public funds, currently fail the test”.
May is revising the political about the migration in the EU. Her final objective is to reduce the number of immigrants in the UK to below 100.000, because migration to the UK represents the 27% of migration of the EU.
The minister wants to take care of the new members too, Romania and Bulgaria.
So, it’s a very important new, because migration is a very important item of our time.
