Danger!

I have to say that I am not a good example to talk about environmentally friendly practices, because, of all possible, I make very few.

When I live we are not to incorporate the recycling, and we don’t have the habit to separate the different types of waste, sorting and recycling. I think this is because it is a practice with little time in Chile and because no one in my house has learned to do it.

However, and despite we have a car, I prefer to travel on public transport and I know that with this I am helping to protect the environment. I like to use my legs to transport me for one place to another.

In addition, I have reduced my intake of water, when I shower or when we water the garden. Also we tried to use less electricity, unplugging the stereo, TV and computer when not in use. Thus, we are reducing our carbon footprint.

I support the work of eco-organizations, because I think this helps us to recognize that our planet is in danger to disappear. Although I never have participated in a great demonstration of eco-organizations, I rejoice every time they defend the vegetations, they protest against the major air pollution industries or when they protest against animal abuse.

For other hand, in Santiago there are very few green areas and theses are only in the centre and they aren’t in the places of periphery. There are very few parks and vegetations and, instead, proliferate polluting industries.

Every time we throw a paper on the floor, we are facilitating this possible disappearance. Obviously, this disappearance is not only the planet, but ours as humanity. We have to change our conscience and I must begin by changing the first time.

This is...my music!

When I think about music, I travel through a world of sensations and stories, a world that call me to reflect about the life and everything that around me. The music is a way to relax me or active me. The music leads me from happiness to rage, although this seems strange.

I enjoy to my favourite bands while I study, when I traveling to somewhere or in my free time. I enjoy listening to the music of Andrés Calamaro and The Doors, which are my favourite artists. In general, I like rock music, although, in special, I like Classic Rock and Rock Nacional of Argentina that which I follow since a few years ago. Unfortunately, I still can’t to assist to a concert that someone these artists, but I hope to have the opportunity that this situation changes in some moment of my life.

In my opinion, the music sharing should accept, because it allows that anyone can to access to the music of his favourite artist, without that the lack of money prevent him: the piracy may be a crime, but everyone who has internet access can download your favourite music is one of the best ways to access the culture to our time.

Finally, I think that a world without music could not exist, we would fall in deepest darkness and we could not to express our emotions or our dreams.

Summary

The analysis on Haiti tend to focus on violence, which it would justify the presence of the world's third-largest UN peacekeeping mission. However, despite Earthquake, the corruption of political and judicial institutions, Haiti is one of the least dangerous places in the Caribbean region, according to the UN in his latest homicide statistics.

Probably, one of the greatest disasters, actually in the country, is the cholera epidemic, which it has killed nearly 7000 people.

In addition, after the Earthquake of two years ago, international donors pledged more than $5bn for Haiti’s recovery, but today the authorities negotiate for less than half.

Has been said that “Haiti is open for business”, privilege, for example, the construction of a new five-star hotel near the airport and not the reconstruction of nearly 80,000 houses damaged after earthquake.

Among other things, has been developed a textile manufacturing business, driven by the U.S., which it has taken a captive labour force of 70% unemployment and its low cost. Also, has been developed a highly lucrative private security industry for humanitarian workers rather than meeting the basic needs of the earthquake victims, considering denouncing violence is far less, in a country that sings despite the tragedy.
