Writing Practice: Lets start saving the planet!

Well I have to confess that I didn’t know too much about saving the planet from the global warming. I just approve only the 60% of the quiz haha, but it teaches to me very interesting things like:

Using the dishwasher is better than wash by hand in a 50%
Only about the 10% of global energy comes from renewables
Each degree you drop the thermostat during the winter saves about 5% on your heating bill
There are alternative materials for making paper which are very weird like panda excrement, hemp and sheepskin! (but I don’t really think that the last one is really “eco-friendly”😕)

This quiz is very useful and important to start to be more aware about global warming and try a green lifestyle or zero waste lifestyle. And, following the topic, I want to share with you another tips to turn our daily routine more eco friendly 😊 :

Use our own reusable bottle (and is better if it is made of glass or of another material that doesn’t contain plastic)
Try solid cosmetics! You will get surprised about the loooong list that you can buy or do it buy yourself!
Buy bulk products
Buy used clothes and furniture
Try to refill everything! You will buy less plastic and is cheaper!
Use a bamboo toothbrush and stainless steel straw
Start to buy microfiber clothes is a good option. You won’t need a washing machine or iron!
Do compost with your food! You also can create natural flavour with them
This isn´t a vegan option but you can do your own paper film with beeswax!

And here is a link if you are a little lazy or if you don't have enough time to do all this things by yourself: https://www.pinterest.cl/pin/AWcdw7B9mQERitvN2L3y2HMsN8uW_M3wm3QiyxQoMf01FI2qGc1GE40/

There are a lot of alternatives. I want to start this new year trying zero waste habits and things. It isn’t expensive and you will do a favour to our planet ❤️

TED's video opinion

Nowadays, we are growing and growing as population, technology and a lot of other things that have advantages and disadvantages for us. One of the last named is about enviroment. Global Warming and pollution are our big problems today. Many people think that it isn´t real, and is false that someday we will have consequences from it. But it´s true, and everyday we are closer to that consequences. That´s because architects, designers, companies and scientifics are so worried about it and trying to give us better alternatives or solutions to this situation. The big problem is that while we are growing, we are moving away as the same time from everything, and we still have to work, study, have social life, etc. That means that we have less time, more distances and less connections.and therefore we use fast alternatives for all, and it isn´t too healthy most of times. Re-planning cities, build bikeways and anothers alternatives to get closer are the solutions acording to the experts...

My Career

I’m in my first year studying design in Universidad de Chile. I chose this career because I always like to draw and I considerate myself very creative. I love do things for others with my hands, with my mind, with my heart, and is very grateful when that things are solving people´s problems or needs. To be honest, I didn´t know too much about this career, so when I start studying I really started from the beginning. I was a little bit scared, because I didn’t know if I really chose the right career. I was between studying Art, Music or Design. Today I can say that I wasn’t wrong. For a moment, I didn’t want to study here. I wanted to study in Valparaíso in the PUCV. The subjects that Universidad de Chile had before weren´t of my liking. But I’m from Rancagua and I would be too far of my family, so they didn’t like the idea of me studying there because I’m too sickly and I really have to take care of myself always. I wouldn’t have anyone there and I couldn’t be able to ...
