Post 8: Let's talk about money

Hello every once again, I hope that you are fine, today I will write about the dirty cash :P
Well… it’s so very hard for me to talk about money because I think money is a human invention to give meaning and value to unimportant things for example associate happiness with something material like a new car. I would like life without this, but it’s so very difficult because the system in which we are doesn’t allow us. I think that the best mechanism to trade is the exchange (but unfortunately this is an almost impossible dream of doing :/).
If you ask me what do you spend my money on? I think that the first is food and clothes, although I also like to invest in books or I don’t know other things related to my hobbies. I think I am not good at managing my money because my mom always tells me that I know my priorities (always nags me for this hahaha).
If you ask me what would you invest your money in If I was a millionaire?… I think that I invest firstly in the conservation of ecosystems and endangered species, travel around the world to learn about the different cultures and then I would move far away from the city to live surrounded by nature (this would be wonderful :P)…  but I’m not a millionaire L.
Finally if I had to pawn some of my things I think it would be my guitar, because it is very valuable to me and I will have reasons to recover it.
That’s all for today. See you soon!

Post 7: How Green are You?

Hello everyone again, I’m back and I hope that you are fine !!
Today I will write about the environmentaly friendly practices. Well, I remember that when I was a child and I went to school I learnt about the process of recycling, for example to separate the organics waste from the inorganic waste, or to make paper recycle. At the present I don’t recycle because I’m living in an apartment and it is really hard to do the process of recycling :P
On the other hand I can’t use the bike regularly because the university is far away from my house but I usually use the bike on weekends (and I love it), so I normally use buses or subway as transportation. Hmmm what else?… I don’t participate in any eco-organization, because I have little time to be part actively of an organization or ONG, but the truth is that I would like to be part of one these.
Anyway in the future I would like to learn about composting to have to make my own compost and organic garden and not to buy transgenic vegetables also which had pesticide (this is my biggest dream :D).
Finally I think there have been changes and improvement, but there is still work to do on recycling culture, especially work and raise the children so that they take care and enhance the environment.

Well… that is all for today, see you next week

Post 6: A piece of News

Hello everyone, I hope that you’re fine, today I will write about a news I was reading the last week in a web site called Science Alert, the news talking about “Antarctica’s lost so much ice it’s changed Earth’s gravity”. This is because of the global warming that causing melting of glaciers mainly found in the Antarctic continent that has now lost so much ice it’s caused a noticeable shift in Earth’s gravity, this study was done between  2009 to 2012  for the European Space Agency (ESA) with the satellite GOCE,and was observed that increase in the sea levels due to melting glacier which causes a change in the gravitational field of the Earth is observed (however it is not something to be alarmed in a short term) BUT!! It’s doesn't mean that the lost of the levels don't become something worrying, because this year, an unrelated team concluded that major West Antarctic glaciers have now begun “unstoppable” collapse, and would lead to unpreventable sea level rise of several metres over the next several hundred years. On the other hand the ESA’s CryoSat satellite, which measures the altitude of regions on Earth, also recently revealed that the rate at which ice has been lost from the West Antarctic Ice Sheet has increased by a factor of three every year since 2009.
What else I can say? The results of the global warming are evident and this is a theme that affect to everyone.

See you next time
