A post from a follower!

As my blog indicates... This is a blog for sharing ideas about protecting our planet. This is the first post that someone sent me to publish it in C4F.

Friends be aware of the problems we are facing in The Earth. Be conscious and educate your children in order to give them the best future possible. Care for Gaia.
"Children wake up,
hold your mistake up
before they turn the summer into dust.
If the children don't grow up
our bodies get bigger but our hearts get torn up
We're just a million little god's causin rain storms
Turnin' every good thing to rust.
I guess we'll just have to adjust"

I encourage you to send me posts to careforgaia@gmail.com. I will post them and I will name you as well.

Thanks Sergio P. for this first post!

Happy weekend for everybody!

ElectroCity: A game that turns in good actions

Today post is going to be a little bit different. Several weeks ago I found a website were you can build a virtual city considering environmental issues, politic issues, economic issues, etc.
I saw it interesting and I started to play. You have 150 turns to build the city up and each turn will give you new possibilities for natural resources, energetic resources, and industrial activity and trading.
It was so easy to start and funny! But step by step it was getting complicated becuase you have to make people happy, keep development and respect sustainability and environment.
Finally I passed the 150 turns and my small town was one of the finished ones and it was registered. If you want to have a look click here.
The most amazing part, is that at that moment. I realized that this game is specially for children. Teachers can register on the site and use this game as part of teaching program in New Zeland schools. As follows self explanation:

Our goal is not to provide students with a sophisticated understanding of the controversies in the various energy debates. Rather, our goal is to spark an interest and lay an unbiased foundation for later learning.
We set out to make a game that was fun and educational. A game that gave kids something different to do in class and share with their parents. And a game that was clearly designed and built in New Zealand.

I invite you to check this game out and promote it with your children, friends and everyone. You will have a good time and maybe you can find a better way to build cities in the future.

Taking care of earth also means that we have to take care of humans. We are part of this beautiful planet.
My good friend Dziga shared with me the experience of someone who really takes care about others in a very simple but amazing way.

We are talking about Alvaro Neil who has ridden his bicycle more than 95000 km in around 2500 days and he keeps ridding everyday.

You may wonder why he was ridding so long. Well, he had a great idea one day in Asturias (North of Spain) and he decided to bring smiles to the children of the world.

After 63 countries visited, Alvaro is working in a documentary called the nomad's smile to share a piece of his uncountable stories and experiences with us. This documentary has not any other support apart from Alavaro's savings and clownfounders that support with any small help to produce it.

I invite you to follow him up in twitter @biciclown; in facebook biciclown and of course in his own website, and youtube. And I also invite you to help him with a small donation, or buying the video The Nomad's Smile. You can find every detail on his website.

Congratulations for your project and your adventure. It is a pleasure for me to post in my blog this kind of stories!
