How green I am?

This time, I want to talk to you about my thoughts on ecology issues. First, I want to tell you that I changed my thoughts and practices on this issue over the years. But, I do not think it is an evolution in my thinking or maturity but rather I think it is disappointment. When I was a little girl I was more enthusiastic. Now I have become an unbeliever… SAD but REAL!
I think today this topic is very present in our daily life. It is true: the bags of supermarket, organic products for the consumption, beauty products with zero impact on our environment… In general, I think that the ecology issue has become a topic of advertising. This causes me discomfort.
In my opinion the people have access to the green theme but in a way that is not appropriate, because it is no education. Education is a restructuring and a real change in our lifestyles. That is what we need as a society to live in harmony with others and with nature.
In my daily life I don’t make anything too important to save the world. However, I do little things but I have little faith. For example, if there are trash cans for recycling I deposit my trash where it belongs or I try not to get plastic bags when I buy something and put it into my backpack and if I don’t have to move large distances (although most of the time I have to) I prefer to walk. Finally, I must be honest and admit that I do this to maintain the health of my body and I do not think of reducing my carbon footprint. I believe that ecology is not an issue that is greatly present in my daily life although the news media bomb my life with it.

Hobbies

Today I will share with you some activities than I enjoy every time when my routine is interrupted. Really I don’t have something like a “hobby” as such. Within what I call “activities that break the routine” I include a wide variety of things to do when I have nothing to I do.
For instance, in my free time I like baking cookies, baking cakes and cooking desserts . But nothing too complicated. This activity I especially like this activity because I really enjoy the few moments I get to this level of concentration. The fact to follow the instructions of a recipe and make each of the steps in an orderly manner relaxes me and I like it too. I also like when the others enjoy the results of my hobby. The truth is who enjoys it the most is my boyfriend or at least I hope so XD.
Other activities that break my routines is watering the garden of my house and weeding. I like to think of myself as a gardener and the garden ornament. Moreover, I like to plant certain medicine herbs like mint, chamomile, cedron or rue. I like plant certain herbs that serve as dressings like oregano, basil or rosemary too.
Also I like the outdoors activities, but that don’t involve sports. I like walking in the nature and recollecting leaves, stones or I enjoy observing insects or certain forms of the natural world. In general this is an activity I do with my boyfriend in the free time of both. Really I think I would have to be a naturalist like Charles Darwin.

Places of Santiago

It is not difficult to see tourists walking around our capital city. Strange, because few compatriots who decided to vacation in Santiago, but no for the foreigners. However, we wonder what sites they visit. Although not notice it, Santiago is full of interesting places.
Starting with our culture, we have the Museum of Natural History, which shows the history of our country, the Museum of Fine Arts, in which we exposed the talent of our artists. Other interesting place is La Moneda Palace, government our Places most familiar are the Cerro Santa Lucia, Cerro San Cristóbal and the Metropolitan Zoo. If they want to spend a moment of emotion, without doubt, the Fantasilandia amusement park is an excellent choice. Popular sites are the National Stadium (known for its history) the railway station Market and La Plaza Italia Santiago (common meeting place of the bars after the games). The Temple of Maipú is not only famous as a center of prayer but also by the history allergic linked to the struggle for the Independence of Chile. Another place is the Metropolitan Cathedral of Santiago, the main temple of the Catholic Church in the country. It is dedicated to the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin. Finally, if you decide to come to Santiago during the winter break, don’t forget the winter resorts highlighting La Parva, El Colorado y Farellones. So we don’t seem strange to see tourists vacationing in our Capital City, as there are many recommended places to go.
