Hello everyone!!!

Today, I’m going to talk about, how green I am?

I know that for several years, in Chile has installed a recycling concept, which I think is very good but isn’t a practice common in the country although do exist good intensions for doing.

It is true that there are places where you can recycle but are only in certain areas in the city not allowing constant use, therefore, sometimes when people want to get rid of something that can be recycled have trouble finding the place, opting the end for throw away in the common trash.

I think  that people learn about environmentally friendly practices when they are watching certain programs in the TV or when reading or when know other cultures, because Chile not encourage these activities.

Personally, I would like to recycle, but nowadays I don’t have time to do it, 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.

I cannot choose to use public transport or the car because I do not have money to buy a vehicle, but I can choose to go by bus or by bicycle. I choose bus because it’s safer for me because if I travel from my house to the university, the people could rob me.

I have not joined any eco-organization because I don’t have time right now; maybe I do something independently in a few years.

The Chilean society needs more information to learn to recycle, or to find out how to do little things that can help the environment.

See you!!!

Hello everyone!

Today, I’m going to talk about of Genetic Modified Organisms.

When we speak of genetically modified organisms, we are speaking of transgenic. In simple words, a transgenic is any living organism that possesses a combination of genetic material obtained through the use of modern biotechnologies.

The modified organisms are used in different areas, being its main objective to improve the physiological and morphological characteristics of a species, for example, resistance to frost. In some areas where are used the transgenics are in the area alimentary and in the agricultural.

In the forestry sector, is not used much this concept, in this case we speak of “genetic improvement” and not of transgenics.

I think that transgenics can be harmful to health, because genetic material of a bacterium is entering in the genome the fruits and vegetables, that can to produce a negative impact in the healthy. On the other hand, in the agriculture sector, the people want improving effectiveness of herbicides, but the people do not think that plants also produce resistance, producing that the doses increases when are applied, which will not be good for the ecosystem.

Finally, in the forestry sector, what you want is to improve the resistance of plants, the form of the trees, which are generally not actions harmful to the ecosystem.

The truth is that I do not agree with the use of genetic modified organisms, but are unfortunately more common than we think.

See you!!!

Hello everyone!

Today, I’m going to talk about of my future job.

To be honest, when I inscribed in at university to study Forestry, I don’t knew much about of this profession, therefore, I not start my studies thinking what I wanted to become to future as professional but  I believe over the years that have passed, I have enjoyed this career.

I just know that in the future I want to be a good professional, able to work on any job related with my profession.

There are many areas that I like about this career, but there are two topics that attract me more: entomology and forest pathology; although there is no area that displeases me.

Well, in future I would like to work on Santiago city, because I will not like to get a job away of my daughter, because I would not want to live permanently outside the capital, maybe I would work for short periods or projects outside of capital, because I’m not putting my profession in the first place of my life, to me being a mother is the essential, and I want that she grows here.

I know this it’s contradictory, but I would not like be locked in an office every days, also I would travel, but only a few times, but I also know that I have to take advantage of the job opportunities that be presented before me, all the jobs are possible and therefore debatable.

Being good or bad depends of each person, and in my case, I’m sure that with effort and perseverance I will be a good professional.

See you!!!

Hello everyone!!!

Today, I am going to talk about animals.

I like this topic because animals are fantastic!!!.

I really really like the feline, especially the tiger, because they protect its territory; my Chinese sign is this animal, and I love it, therefore, I use a pendant depicting a tiger’s face. There are also animals that I don’t really like, such as: monkeys, sharks, mandrill, some amphibians and reptiles, although I respect its life.

In my house I have pets: a dog called Shinozuke and a cat called Raina, tough when I was a little girl, in my house had ten cats, was not comfortable, it was difficult to have so many animals, so now we only have two it.

I think that it’s very good to have in a house pets, because children can play with it, some animals also can help protect house; although is very important to keep it clean, fed and happy.

Nowadays, there are many dogs in the streets and that’s very bad, people should learn that animals also feel and that abandon it on the street is a very cruel act.

In a municipality of Santiago, I don’t remember its name, people are collecting stray dogs to be trained and so to be police dogs. I honestly, I believe that is a beautiful initiative.

See you next week!!!
