I think that my biggest environmentally friendly practices are take care the water. HOW? Turn off the tap water, stay in the shower for less time, not to let water running when I wash my teeth, when my dad is shaving or when irrigate the plants and garden, it is necessary to irrigate in hours of the low sun in order that the water does not evaporate. Moreover, with my family, we collect up the plastic bags in disposable bottles to create: ecological bricks.

On the other hand, I really like ride in bicycle but near of my house, is dangerous ride in the bicycle because not all the drivers respect to the cyclist and the streets haven’t got ways only for the cyclist and in the places that these exist, the people don’t use them well since they travel in them. Moreover, in the public transport I delay very much time in coming even here. So, I went in my car to the University (furthermore, I really want to go in bicycle to the University but the car is so comfortable). In my district, the cycle paths are in construction so, I hope someday come to the University in bicycle for reduce my footprint.       

I didn’t participated in a eco-organization but I want to participate, some day, in Greenpeace because it is a global environmental organization that it take care as the animals as the plants in general, I mean, all the environment       

Santiago isn’t a good place for recycle because it hasn’t a lot of places of recycling and these places are very far. In another way, the containers for recycle glasses, plastics or carton’s boxes are in almost all the supermarket; so to recycle is depend only of our disposal for do it!       

Voting... a civil action?

As my opinion is important and I can give my and express my opinion I think that the vote isn't a really tool of democracy because we can to decide between candidates that all of them coming to the same place and nobody of them can to see the really necessities of the others class. For that reason, I'm not register voluntarily. Moreover, almost all the candidates and theirs campaigns are very dirty and they contaminate the country whit their faces and promises that hardly ever they keep them. The badly called "politician class" is not more than a lot of persons whit very much money and not so much conscience, I mean, personally I think that is very much important that the persons looking for another ways to express and be conscious that all the actions of the persons can be a politician action, and I don't talk of a partisan politic, but of all the actions that persons can to carry out and there is the most way of fight. I think that the most important, influential and beautiful political action is teaching and no necessarily the teachers have to be politicians. 

For other hand, and assuming that persons must to govern, I think that the politicians shouldn't enjoy of the privileges and excessive salaries. Moreover, they must to work with and for the people and not for theirs pockets but I really think that the people can to organize without politicians or the politic and we can to achieve the auto govern.

    

"the march of the penguins", the beginning

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2006/jun/07/chile.schoolsworldwide?INTCMP=SRCH

Still in the Michelle Bachelet government, this news is about the beginning of the "revolutions of penguins" in June of 2006. It show us a women president just elected in January owing to the fact her proposal focused in human rights, social justice and limiting the powers of the police and intelligence agencies. The entire proposal gives rise to many expectative from the country's middle class. 

For this reason, Coordinating Assembly of Grade School Students called a national strike and the students occupied schools to demand free use of public transport, lower fees for college entrance exams and a voice in government policy. The principal demand is for a potent upgrade of the public school system. The march was called "the march of penguins" owing to the fact that the protesters' school uniforms. In this march has been around 370 persons arrested and the while riots raged for 10 hours in Santiago as police used tear gas and water cannon on marching students.

This marchs and nationals strike has been nearly universal admiration for the students, 87% of Chileans polled saying they support the movement. Moreover, the organisers are very young and organise forums and debate the right to a free education, turning their break into a civics lesson.

Hundreds of colleges are occupied and classes have been cancelled. Alliances between the state schools and pupils in the private education system have erased the usual class lines that mark Chilean social protests.

 The goverment efforts to reach a quick agreement, but the students are insisting for improvement and better solutions.

My best friend :D

I haven't got a lot of friends, as the saying goes: "not many people but the best people". My best friends names Diego, Dania, Sofia, Josefa and Francisca. In this moment, I talk about Dania because our relationship was beginning very difficult. We were classmate since third grade. Then, we hated us because I thought that she was very "hueca" and she thougtht that I was very nerd. Our hate be last eighth grade and our friendship was created form nothing. We began to speak gradually and today we are the best friends despite her personality. In the school my classmate calls her "the crazy girl" because is very hyperactive, loud-voiced and exaggerate but I love her like this. We learned to love us and understand our personalities. We stay together in the good times or the bad times. We ve' known us for a long time and we were friend for eigth years ago.   

With all my friends we see us continually despite our different hours. Go to holidays together convert in a tradition. The last year, I went whit Sofia, Dania and Josefa to the Quisco beach, it was a good time and many adventures. One day, we stay in the traffic for five hours! And we came just from the Quisco beach! It was terrible but was very funny too: we singed, talking, reveals secrets, everything! Finally, we went to Santiago like 2:00 a.m. but the trip is worth.

Well, i hope you enjoy my story. See you soon :)
