Hi everyone, this week I’m going to talk about the money.

In this period of my life, the money is irrelevant for me, this is owing to I live with my parents, and they pay the bill of water, light, telephone, internet (in reality every bill of the house). Also my parents are charge of buy the different food stuff for the month. In other words, my parents are the economic sustenance of the house.

In general, I use my money for pay the public transport and for buy my clothes. If someday I've a lot money, I would like travel for the world, visit beautiful landscapes, and learn about other cultures.

If you ask me, I'm disastrous at managing my budget, I always buy unnecessary things, and I never have money before the end of the month ajajajaj.

If I were millionaire I would like buy a car for not use never again the transantiago!!, and I would like buy a big house, and I've a beautiful garden with many native trees and flowers of different color.

If someday I've the necessity of get money, I can pawn any of my belongings, because I'm not a person materialistic, and I can get rid of all material things, but I not have things of high value jajajaja, the things I can pawn are: my computer, my movil telephone, and my collection of coins.

I hope you liked my post, goodbye!

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.
