How green am I?

I think that being conscious of the environment is something really important, and is definitely something that I wanna practice more. I think that if you do this, you're more consciuous about yourself, because we can't think us outside the environment, the environment make us but we also make the environment, that's the important thing

In Chile I think that doesn't exist an environmental culture, you just have to go to a mall to realize it, or even walk on the streets. Chile is a neoliberal country, and with the consumerism as a base, it's very distant of being a country that cares about the environment.

Anyway, in the multiform culture that we live, there are some iniciatives that cares about the environment. You sometimes can watch them on the tv, or listen it by an eco-organization, or a famous person who promote it. But most of people don't see it.

Personally, I try to consume the least as possible, that is, I try to use the much as possible my clothes or the things I have, and when I bought clothes, for example, I try to do it in second-hand stores. I walk a lot, use my byccicle sometimes and the public transport and with my family we try to recycle the glass and the tetra pack cartons of milk, for example. Other thing is being vegetarian. I think that it's a little more ecological practice than eat meat, because to feed the animals the business of meat use a lot vegetal kilograms to "make" a kilogram of meat, so it has a big impact... anyway I'm not very shure about this because some vegetals could damage very much the soil, like soja.

I have never joined an eco-organization. I think that you have to dedicate it you time and effort and today I want to spend my time in another activities. But always being ecologic yourself is a good iniciative.

In our country or our city, I think that it would be good to have more ecological trash cans and a culture and activites that promote an ecological life... all too change the mentality of the citizen. But much more than that, we would have to change all of our habits and our economy to change our way of life in order to become a real ecologycal country. Consumerism is the thing that is killing our planet and environment.

My 2014 year

Hello, today I'm going to talk about how is going on this year for me. It has been a difficult year, with its good and bad things.

One of the best things has been that I have travelled a lot. In summer, I first went to Guanaqueros with a lot of friends, because one of them has a house on that beach. We then went to Valle del Elqui, where a friend's father has a camping zone, and he left us stay there almost for free!, it was really goos... they are very nice places, and I didn't spend a lot of money because I travelled by hitch-hike with some friends.

After this, I was left with no more money, and I think that my vacations were ended. But the same friends that went with me to the north, invited (yes, invited) me to the south. We went with de same technique: hitck-hike, and all was good. I travelled to Temuco, Villarrica, Puerto Fuy, Coñaripe, Puerto Pirigüeico, and I knew the best lakes of Chile, and the amazing beauty of the south.

But, out of that, it has been a hard year, because I had some emotional scars of the past year: I broke with a girlfriend and some things in which I put a lot of effort didn't go very well, so I drag this sars to the first half of this year, and it was hard to me to stand up again. In addition, I have to fulfill with the academic requirements, and this years has going a little hard on that way.

Anyway, I achieve getting better and go on very well with the university. But I have didn't some things that I want, like studying somethings that are interesting for me, like phylosophy, physics and others.

Bye bye!

The job I would like to have

Hello there! Today I’m going to talk about the job I would like to have.

Choose a job is a very difficult decision. I’m studying psychology, so the posible work field, if you follow the regular way, limitates to some kinds of jobs in wich you have to response to institutional demands about searching how the people are, principally. 

Although I like the psychology knowledge, I’m not very agree about this kinds of Jobs, because I think they response to some logics of the system in which we live that are very inhumane… you know, categorize the people that you don’t even know by a limitated interview or questionary, for example, is a very impersonal exercise, and it has important consequences, that make the psychologyst an authority in some way and that gives him some kind of power over the persons.

Is because of this reasons that I would choose to be more a psychology or a philosophy teacher, in the secondary or in the university, because by this way I think that you get a closer relationship with people, and you can give them some things that are not necessarily a knowledge, but a learning about the life and a support.

If I were a university teacher (that is a Little more difficult jaja), I could also make investigations or create knowledge that bring anothers views about the human.

I don’t think the format of this job is like an office… but I would have to have a desk to do the boring part of my job, like check the test sor something.

I think it’s an outdoor job, but it’s a Little limitated in this way, because you don’t travell to much, I think… and I would like to travel a lot to know different parts of the world, but I think I could reconcile this differents desires. I think I would have to take a pedagogy minor too.



Well, thats all I can say. Hope you’re good, bye!
