How Green Are You?

Hi Everybody!

Today I will write a very important topic nowadays, but unfortunately many people like me still can’t incorporated into their lives: Environmentally friendly practices.

Well, I must confess that I haven’t acquire these practices to my daily activities, and neither do my family, because It’s something difficult to do, you always find an excuse for not do that kind of practices. For example, in some places, there are special trashcans for each material: plastic, glass or paper, etc. But, sometimes they are too far away, and we are too lazy to go and throw the trash there. Or another example, when you have to go to a near place, you can get there cycling, but there is always an excuse like It’s a hot or cool day, I’m too tired, etc. So, you go driving a car or in public transport. 
Well, at least I can say that I use my bike as a transport, mostly to get to near places, or walking, because I always enjoy a good walk. 
I’m not a member of any organization now, maybe because I’m not enough motivated and I don’t have much time.
 I would like to start recycling things. 
In relation to the carbon footprint, I try to turn off the lights I’m not using, disconnect all the electronic devises no one is using, take quick showers, etc. 
I think that, as a society, we could create more green areas, create more deposits of recycled trash, reduce the number of vehicles, and also we should reduce the number of industries in our city.

I hope you start to worry about our planet like me, Goodbye!

Breaking News! :O

Hello Everybody

Today I'm going to write about a new I watched on the T.V. yesterday, I think, well, I’m not even pretty sure if I watched the new in the T.V. or I saw it online, but I´m sure I saw it somewhere, someday. An american man named Reza Baluchi was rescated floating in a big bubble, in front of the coasts of Florida in the Unated States. This man is a marathon runner who planned to crosss the ocean from Florida to the Bermudas islands, running inside a huge floatable buble. He was about seventy nautical miles to the east of St. Augustine when he activated his personal locating bacon, because he was exhausted. A Coast Guard HC-130 airplane and MH-60 helicopter, along with the vessel Maersk Montana, were sent to rescue this marathon man. After that they took him to the Coast Guard Air Station, where his medical condition was evaluated. He didn’t have any injuries.
Well, obviously this breaking new does not affect me, or my community. But, I thought it was an interest new, because although he didn’t make it, this man’s attitude it’s very special and I wish I was that brave to do whatever I dream.
Normally, I try to avoid watching T.V.’s news, because there are always just bad ones and some of the news make me sad. I would like to watch/hear/read about more good news, news about animals, people improving their lifes conditions, I don’t now, that kind of news.


See you !
