Locals fishing on the beach / Locales pescando en la playa

Today I am posting a video where we can see how locals fish on the beach with a handmade net. Kids are helping their fathers to pick up the fishes and learn about how to do it. They were explaining me that they do not come every day. Just sometimes, in this way they let the fishes reproduce again. This is sustainability.

Para hoy os he preparado un video donde los locales pescan en la playa con una red artesanal. Los niños ayudan a sus padres recogiendo los peces y aprenden el arte de la pesca. Estuvieron explicándome que no vienen todos los días, solamente de vez en cuando. De esta manera, dejan a los peces recuperarse y reproducirse de nuevo. Eso es sostenibilidad.

Video: Waking up

Investigating on the Internet I have found following video. It is very impressive how it can match our daily actions with effects on our planet. That is something I have already talked about in different posts. As follow explanation by producers:

A man wakes up from a nightmare of a forest in destruction. As he stirs other visions flash before his eyes with his early morning actions. Frustration and anger turn to calm realisation as he slowly wakes up to the fact that his daily actions are connected to the world around him. His experience changes from feeling to realisation, then to positive action, as he transforms his life from being part of a global problem to becoming part of the solution.
Waking Up is a short movie to spread a message about:Environmental Issues, Fair Trade Issues, Animal cruelty, Vegetarianism, Animal Testing, Energy Saving, Drought, Global Warming, Climate change, Poverty, Pollution, Child Labour, Deforestation, Leather Industry, Sweatshops, Waste, Gaia, alternative way of living, making a change.

Please watch it, and if you like it, post in your facebook, twitter or other social networks you may use.

Did you know that...

Global warming is affecting directly to the size of animals and plants?
The university of Singapore has proved that different species are decreasing their size because of the global warming. Shoots and fruits are between 3 and 17% smaller per warming Celsius degree. Marine invertebrates between 0.5 and 4%, fishes between 6 and 22% and polar bears 11%.
Scientist think that it can be affect directly to the food chain.

From my point of view, another signal to realize that global warming is not a theory, but a FACT.

Daily actions turn into a world effect

This post is for those people that are willing to change our world but they do not know to do it.


Everyone that is worried about something, try to find a solution. Depending on the size of the problem we are able to find a solution in a faster way or slower way. However, for global problems as pollution on earth, animal extinction, war, famine, people usually think that they cannot do anything and they give it up... They consider that the problem is on hands of others and they cannot do anything for help.


This is the first, and most common mistake that human makes.


It is true that we cannot eradicate the famine in one night, or that we cannot remove all pollutant gases from our sky in one week... but our daily actions turn into a world effect.


Think about it. Imagine that you are in the beach, and you see a plastic bottle in the sand. You have two options: 
- Not pick it up: You did not throw the bottle, and it is not your work. Why should you pick it up?
- Pick it up: Someone  unconsciously threw it, but this is your planet, your house and you know that this bottle should not be there.


The action you choose has an immediate effect in the world. You probably never thought about it. Look :
- If you do not pick it up, the bottle will be there, probably it will go to the sea and it will take around 50 years for degradation. In this process, there is a high percentage of probability that fishes, birds and other animals (even humans) were affected for it.


- On the other hand, if you choose the second option the effect is completely different. This bottle will be probably recycle and reused after a long process. No animals will be affected, the ocean will be a little bit cleaner and the most important thing: If only one person, only one... see what you did and realize that it is the correct choice, next time will not be only one bottle but two. You implement an idea in someone else, this is what makes our daily actions turn into a world effect.


The power is inside us, everyone can help. Do not forget it.
