Global Warming!

Earth is facing many environmental issues right now. Water pollution, air pollution, rainforest destruction, and many others. We, as humans, are the ones who are causing all this damage on Earth. If we continue throuwing garbage in the rivers, and using a lot of cars, our world will look like a garbage deposit. It will be al gray and horrible. Though, one of the most imoprtant thing we have to worry about is the water. Water is getting contaminated in many ways.

Water pollution is one of the biggest problems right now. Water is our number one natural resource we need in order to survive. All humans, animals, and plants need it. Humans use it in many ways. Wash vegetables to eat, taking baths, washing our cars, drink, prepare food, and many others, while the plants need them in order to grow, and reproduce. From plants we get glucose, and oxygen. Also we feed from plants, and animals too. Animals need the plants healthy so they can eat them and us, humans, feed from theml. The water for them is also important. In hot days, they drink some water to stay hidratated. It's all a big chain. Water gets polluted when throwing bottles into the ocean. Not only bottles but all our waists, including poop and pee. Fish eats all of this, and almost all the population on Earth eats fish. Imagine how many contaminants and waist we are introducing in our body.

We know the water cycle. It rains, all the water from the rain flows down a river into the ocean, and then, it evaporates again into the sky and rains again. Well, this cycle sometimes includes pollution. All the chemicals that are in the ocean, like wastes from factories or hotels, evaporates too into the sky. Now, what happens next is that that water becomes acid rain. This acid rain will affect humans, and animals. Unfortunately, land animals drink that water, and fish and all the
underwater animals live on that polluted water. They all drink that and affects them by giving them diseases, and sometimes, even though they don't die, fishers still fishing them, and we (people) eat them...Thanks to that we get sick too. This is the polluted water cycle.

We humans are the ones who causes all the damage on Earth. Without the water we can't live. We need it in order to survive! Even animals because we feed from them! What we can do is use less water. When wasing our cars, use a bucket instead of a hose. We can also use a bucket when having a shower while the water is heating up, and that water use it to water the plants. Something we can do to not contaminate the water is put all the garbage in the right spot, and when going to the beach, instead of trowing it into the ocean, through it in a garbage can, and if there is no garbage can, hold it until you find one. Also, instead of trowing the kitchen oil in the sink, put it in a plastic bag and through it in the gabage can. Other thing is that the factories should consider throwhing all their chemical waste to other place instead of the ocean. This are some ways to help the water, our environment, our world.
All of the last might sound impossible, but if we all try, by one bye, we can make the difference. Our world is suffering many changes because of all the harm we do to it. Nature is just responding to our agressions, and uncaring behavior. We HAVE to start caring about our world. WE need the water in order to survive. We are ending up with it, and in a future we wont have any left. All of it will be contaminated and dirty. Start changing your life and save the world! Don't contaminate the water anymore!!

The Earth

Last week, Adri and I work together doing this Earth video. We chose together the song, the pictures, and we sang together the song. He had a hard time singing it because we wanted to sound perfect, and sometimes we did mistakes and started all over again. The song we chose was "World Hold On" from Bob Sincalir. The pictures were the most easy thing. Adri took video, while I took pictures from the same thing. We did posters, we used only two pictures from the internet, because we couldn't take pictures of the universe, nig bang, and Earth. I really enjoy doing it with Adri. We divided the job in equal parts, and I think that at the end, everything was perfect. Just how we want it to be.

Spring Break(:

My spring break vacations started at and ended up at Guadalajara... I spend my two weeks of vacations there taking care of my mom, and some other days hanging out with my friends. The last thing I did was going to Manzanillo, but stayed there just a night because I needed to get back to Gdl as soon as posible...

The next day I arrived to Gdl., I went to my cousin's soccer game. I had fun, but also got stressed because my cousin's team was losing, and the coach did nothing to IMPEDIRLO. He was just sitting there watching instead of telling the guys what to do or where to move, and stuff like that. On saturday I went to an american football game, and had SO MUCH FUN with my firends. I cheered a lot to my other friends that were playing, and also painted their numbers in my face :D The bad thing about that game was that my friends' team also lose, and one of my closest friend got injured, and he couldn't finish the game. Someone hit his head, and he faint and lost a little bit of memory. He didn't remember what he did early that day, and the last night. Fortunately he is alright right now. On the next day I went to another friends' game. This time was a tocho game. This sport is similar to the american football, but the difference is that this sport is for girls, and you have to take away the flag from the girl who has the ball in hands. I cheered alot to my girl friends too, and took a lot of pictures :) I think that was the best weekend of all my vacations :)



That next week I went to a ranch with my cousins and their aunts. We had so much fun feeding the horse and the donkey. We also cut down a tree, took the 4 dogs out for a walk, and ate chiken we baught before getting there. That wednesday we went to the bolws. Us, the four girls, played bowls, while the three boys played pool. After we finish, we waited like for an hour to pick us up, but we ended up getting back on bus because the boys abandoned us. When we were at the bus, we saw the boys walking looking for us, so we called them and tell them that they were a pair of losers. When we arrived to my friend's house, the boys were already there, and they laugh about us, but we didn't care cause we didn't walk to get there, and they did...Unfortunately that was the last time I saw them...The next day, my friends went to Tapalpa and returned back on Monday. Those days I did nothing but being with my mom and dad. On Friday I went to Manzanillo with my dad, and got back to GDL on Saturday cause I needed to get back as soon as possible. I needed to be at the airport at 9:30 am on Sunday. I had fun with my granparents, and little sibilings :)


I wish I could have done more stuff in my vacations than being in Guadalajara. I wanted SO bad to be here in Vallarta... I missed so much stuff this spring break, but there's nothing I could have done...my mom wanted me to be there with her...This were my vacations :)
