Hi
everyone, this week I’m going to talk about the recycling.
Recycling,
It defined like action of reuse and reduce the product, his purpose is decrease
the ambient contamination. Normally, the recycling allows improve environmental
conditions
In Chile is
very difficult to recycle, because the people not have many places to go to
leave their things, on the other hand, the people don’t have much information
about recycle.
Recycling
is very important, because thanks to it we can change materials into new
products to prevent waste of potentially useful materials, reduce the
consumption of fresh raw materials, reduce energy usage, reduce air pollution
and water pollution by reducing the need for conventional waste disposal, and
lower greenhouse gas emissions.
In Chile is
very difficult to recycle, because not have many places to go to leave their
things, on the other hand, the people don’t have much information about
recycle.
I’ve not
recycling, because to my family really don’t care do it (in reference to recycle
organic waste). So, it’s hard for me recycle in my house. so I try to protect
the environment in other ways, for example, I use plastic bags many times
before throwing them away, I use sometimes aerosol, among other things. On the
other hand, when I have to get somewhere (which is not found far enough), I try
to get there walking or cycling, as I think that if I have healthy legs
probably I should use them.
Well, if
you ask me, all people around the world should recycle and care the environment
to the future generations.
I hope you
liked my post. Goodbye.

Post 6: A
piece of News
Hi
everyone, this week I would like to tell you about the article "Flowering
Bamboos in Chile and Argentina: Current Massive Bloom Coligüe, Natural History
and Risks" published in “Bosque
Nativo” journal.
I chose
this piece of news because the topic seems very interesting and because I did
not know that this occurred in the south of Chile.
The authors
notes that the vast majority of bamboo
species massive bloom simultaneously reach
tens or hundreds of thousands of hectares continuous flowering. In Chile
and Argentina there are about 10 species of the genus Chusquea. The Colihue or
Cane (Chusquea culeou) is perennial grass belonging to the subfamily of
bamboos, their flowering cycle varies between 15 and 70 years. After flowering,
large quantities of seeds are dispersed by increasing the population of local
seed-eating rodents, this phenomenon is known as "ratada" and could
increase the risk of people being infected with the Hanta virus, and moreover
the mass death of Colihue generates an increase of dry fine fuel in the
understory, increasing the risk of forest fires.
(Chusquea culeou)
This
information is important to the forestry sector because it needs to implement
measures on forest fires prevention and people‘s protection.
I hope you liked
my post and would like to learn more about this topic.
