MIDWAY

First of all I have to say sorry for my absences the last days. I have been suffering a food poisoning and I have salmonella and amoebas. So I had hard days and I could not right.
 I could not even prepare an own post so what I am going to share today is something that I saw on facebook yesterday in the wall of a group that I am member (Scuba Diver Life)

The video is a trailer of a film that wants to show us how birds are dieing because of the plastics of the Pacific Garbage Patch. Interesting to watch it and think about it.

En primer lugar quiero pediros disculpas por mi ausencia los últimos días. He sufrido una intoxicación alimentaria por salmonella y amebas he tenido unos días difíciles que no me han permitido escribir.
Ni siquiera he podido preparar una entrada para hoy así que lo que voy compartir es un vídeo que vi ayer en facebook de un grupo al que pertenezco (Scuba Diver Life).

El vídeo es el trailer de una película que nos muestra como ciertos pájaros están muriendo por los plásticos de la Isla de Basura del Pacífico. Es interesante de ver y reflexionar.

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.

Rubbish in the oceans

It is disgusting when you are walking on the beach and you see plastic bottles, cans, cigarettes and other rubbish on the sand. But no one is picking up when we see it.

All of it is going to the sea, contaminating oceans and killing fishes and birds because they thing it is food.

Here you can see a TED documentary where Mr. Charles Moore explain it in a very understandable way.

Now it is up to you if you keep ignoring this rubbish after knowing what you did not know before.

PLEASE DON'T THROW RUBBISH AND PICK IT UP!
