Enviroment

Hi, today I will talk about environment, particularly environmentally friendly practices.

In Chile is difficult to recycle because not have many places to go to leave their things and also because the people don’t have much information about recycle. Furthermore not all people know that materials can be recycling. In Chile the government should make more campaigns for inform about recycle and their benefits.

In my case, in La Florida, every Saturday a truck go to take the recycle of the people like a trash car, but of the recycle. This method is implemented since I have 12 years old, and my parents started to recycle to care the environment and I like this, with 12 years old I enjoyed pick up materials to recycle.  Actually I thank you very much to my parents that started to recycle, because I was took conscience of care of the environment.

On other hand I don’t have a car but if I have a car someday, I will prefer walk or use a bike to mobilizing in short or medium distances in the city, because is most friendly with the environment and funny. In the present I don’t support to any eco-organizations, because I don’t found any eco-organizations that of take my attention, but maybe I will support any in the future or help some eco-organizations. Also I reduced my footprint using metro instead bus, don’t spend electricity and water unnecessarily.

See you.

Genetic modification

Hello, I’m back again.

I hope you had a very good week of holidays. 

Today I will talk about of GMO (genetically modified organism).

Gen is defined like a group of segments of DNA, that contains information of an organism and this information allows expression of a specific characteristic.

The GMOs are organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques. In the present can be modified plants, bacteria, insects, fish even mammals.  Basically consist in modify their genes, this include the mutation, insertion or deletion of genes for the purpose improve the organism. This is used generally in the agriculture for improve the fruits and vegetables. In forestry can be used for improve the characteristic of the trees.

The genetic modification can be harmful for some organisms and should be studied and experimented in one organism before of applies in the species in the field. Also In the agriculture when modified edible products, the Scientifics should be studied if that “modified food” can be edible without any problem for the health of the people.

However, the genetic modification can be useful in my field of study because we can better trees with better characteristic therefore, a better forest and better ecosystem. All this with their respective experiments and studies before apply.

See you in the next week.

My future job?

Hi there, today I will talk about of my possible future job.

In the secondary school I wanted study civil engineering, but in the last year of school I have a lot of outing at hills, parks, etc. And, I say me: “this is my future”, the nature I like it, and then I was changing the priority for study Forestry before ending the school.

I don’t know specifically what job I will have in the future, but I know that job will be related with conservation. I don’t like work in an office, I like work in the outdoors, because I feel “freedom” and I can view the forest and your ecosystem by my own eyes.  For this reason I would like travel for all Chile, specifically south of Chile and the countries with have important forest for learning about of the many species and forests around the world. I will like also travel to Madagascar for study the many species found in this island. Maybe take a major after end of my pre-grade in the university, I prefer work a pair of years before take a major, for have a little experience in the field of my career. And to choice a better option of major.

See you later 

Animals and pets

Hello everyone, today I will talk about the animals.

When I was eight years old, I saw a documentary about the “Isla de Pascua” (Rapa Nui), which showed how you can dive with turtles in this island; even some people touched the turtles.  From this day on I like the turtles and some reptiles as iguanas and geckos, but never I had pets in my house. However, someday I will have sea turtles, I don’t have pets as dogs or cats, because they drop a lot of hair then the clothes and the house will have remains of hair, my mother don’t like this. Furthermore, when I was five years old my uncle had a dog, in the moment to fed the dog when I had food in my hand, the dog bite me, from this day go on I have some fear the dogs. Not all dogs, few only, when I go to in the street alone.

When have child in the house, some pets are dangerous, any pet can reaction aggressive as some species of dogs, cats, etc. If you have kids and aggressive pets, be very careful. On the other hand, the pets can improve mood and health, the kids plays with the pets and you live alone the house don’t feel alone.

Besides I like the turtles “domestic”, because live approximately over 30 years with a correctly care, and the turtles will stay with me during much time.

See you.
