It's great to be GREEN!

Hi everyone!
Today I’m going to write about environment, this is a topic that I really love to talk about. I think that people finally have come to realize how important is to protect our planet and that is something that makes me very happy . As Michael Jackson once said: We must “Heal the world”.
Nowadays , we can see how have been created  so many organizations related with environmentally friendly practices. There are groups which work with animals and all the necessary things for them, even demanding their rights.Also we have groups which defends the sea  or  other ones against Pascua Lama project and hydroelectric . I think it is so important that people take conscience about what is happening in our country because the press is so manipulated by the government, they show us what they want us to see and what is the best for them. They don’t really care about our biodiversity  so they won’t tell us about important topics related with the environment. If you ask to people how they get information about what’s happening in Punta de Choros, they will say they saw groups or pictures , but is so strange to see those kind of things on T.V…but it doesn’t matter… everywhere you can find somebody  green!
The last years I tried to have a “Green house”. We try not to use a lot of water, when we go to buy a few things we never ask for a plastic bag. The oil it’s always in a bottle because one oil drop contaminates liters of water. We try to buy organic vegetables and the ones which are from the zone and finally I’m a vegetarian so that’s a huge help for our planet, of course from my point of view and according to my philosophy of how to live in peace with the world and every creature.
See you people! Take care… bye:)

Forestry news!

Hello everyone!
Today we have to talk about news related with our career, but I found two news that I think are important for our country. The first one tells us about a big forest fire in the south of Chile. The deplorable event happened on April 6 in the city of Bío-Bío. It was an area of native forest , plantations and flieds. You can see the picture of the smoke cloud in the next link: 

The second one talks about a law project that the government is trying to approve. They want to privatize native seeds and liberate transgenic vegetables.  Environmentalist groups are protesting against this new law because it will be tragic for organic agriculture, it will put it in danger and it will produce genetic pollution. The main reason of this emergency in Latin America it’s because in Europe all this transgenic products are prohibited. Because they are protecting the people’s health and the environment.
Every native seed belong to us. To Chilean people and this new law will make that the seeds have an owner and they will have the right to do wherever they want with  our patrimony. If you are interested you can read the complete news with the next link.

See you soon! Bye bye
