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 ❤️

My Future Job

Since we are kids we always think about what we are going to be when we grow up. I´ve thinking about it many years, and today I can say that I want to work in everything related with arts and crafts. I doesn´t matter if it is outdoors or indoors. I enjoy both alternatives as long as I have my space, but I really imagine myself travelling around the world and knowing more cultures. I don´t care if I won´t have enough money, I just want the necessary to live and travel, because I´m not sure if I want to have kids. Now I´m studying design and I want as major Industrial Design. I feel that this option opens to me more work areas, and if I want to travel and investigate about cultures and folklore, I think that being an industrial designer is perfect if I have to work with clothes, instruments, jewels, because I will know very well how to use and work with materials and where I can found that kind of things. I don´t imagine myself doing something boring to me. I couldn´t be we

A place that I would like to know: Thailand

Travelling, is one of the most funny ways to learn about life and society: cultures, languages, architecture, colors, people and more. There´re too many interesting places around the world that we need to visit someday. We have the classic ones , like Europe, USA, the Caribbean, etc; but their culture is still not too strange to us, and that´s an history thing. But there are places where we really don´t have nothing in common, even the alphabet! One of that places is the Southeast Asia. It is composed of eleven countries, and between them is Thailand. Thailand is a kingdom, and is the number 20 in the list of the most populated countries in the world. The 75% of the ethnic people is thai, and that means that their culture didn´t change too much like us. Bangkok is Thailand´s capital city and you can find there a lot of weird things to eat, buy and see. You also have in this country the most beautifuls beaches and places where you can meditate. It´s like you were in a paradis

My 2018

Well, in this year I start something like a “new life”. It sounds a little cliché but it is real. I have to move from my town to the city and to live alone with all the responsibilities that it brings. But I love my independence. My family is very traditional and apprehensive so this year they are trying to treat me more like and adult. I’m very flashy too, so is impossible to me don´t miss my family and my dog. But I´m great anyway. I try to use all my weekends for my family and everything is love haha. It’s a little strange to write this because I’m very surprised of my year. I usually had bad luck in all, and this year everything seems to be going very well, except mathematics for a moment (I really believe that I could fail in this signature :S but I got it!). I passed all my signatures, I made good friends, I made the right decision and I have been very responsible with the money that my family sends me and my apartment. I even have a cat now!! I only need to approve all t
