Isn`t just a Nuclear problem,it`s a Energy issue.

Nuclear energy is clean for someone and really dangerous and dirty for others. Nuclear energy produces a little but really dangerous and impossible to discard residuals. Someone calls the Nuclear energy “clean”, because don’t produce direct impacts over the landscape, but in long term produces many impacts that the human race can’t correct until today.

Japanese government is trying to make the things in a good way to there people, giving they good cars, good houses, and a lot of energy to consume. But in a small country with no inhabited places like Japan, build a Nuclear Central near the cities that as a exponential rate of population growth has a big cost.

Maybe its better create a different ways to educate the people to consume less energy and live with out more energy than we need to do the most basics things to live in a balance with the environmental.

In example, in Chile we have many sources of clean energy like wind, sun, rivers; but the government prefers construct other factories that can produce more incomes to they self like Thermo electrical plants, and big Hydro electrical plants instead of many little Hydro electrical plants that doesn’t has a big impact over the landscape, cultural practices, and native people basic needs.

CHILE!!

Well, this year Chile are in his bicentenary and everybody wants to do something related with this national celebration. The government are preparing a big party for the people and with the people, the T.V channels are working in many ideas for shows related with the bicentenary and the merchants are melting many ideas to make a wonderful and rentable business utilizing this national celebration. In the other face of the coin, Chile shows many internal problems with his population, environmental and energetic issues, problems that need to be successfully solved nowadays in a developed country efforts.

Since 1810, Chile are a Nation in fact, and since 1810 the country had needed to solve many problems and fight with different situations like any other country. Chile is a young country, and his people have a lot of energy to rise his country from the sub developed country situation. Nowadays Chile has many services to his people, the people can go to the hospital with very low feeds, children have many schools to choice and the adults can rejoice with less age than 30 years ago.
With this celebration everybody wins, the merchants can made parties, the T.V exploit his shows trying to make some particular and news shows related with the bicentenary, and the government try to encourage the Chilean image in the business global world.
All of countries have his internal problems and some nations have really seriously problems with another nations, in Chile, we have more internal problems that international diplomatic problems. The Chilean government are trying to do something with the environmental issue, trying to make conscience in the people, teaching more about this topic and making new and better school teachers prepared to the new ecological world. The energetic issue is a really seriously topic nowadays, where the major problem and people fight is with the hydro electrical, and thermo electrical factories. People don’t want that the environment pay for our needs, and people want that the government make efforts to establish a good energetic politics in defense of the environment.
The Chilean gov. have another seriously problem and this is related with the mapuches local people. This people are claiming for his lands and the gov. can´t hand back all of lands that they want because the nation need lands to make national parks and to make money with this, the problem is the lack of equilibrium with this issue.

Chile has many potential advantages and good opportunities to rise from the sub developed world, Chile has a beautiful and productive landscapes and a hard work people. The need of the nation is try to get the equilibrium between richness, people satisfaction and a hearty environment. When this occur, Chile can say that we did it and we did it fine!, today we need to work a lot to get this goal. We can start talking to our kids about the importance of the national richness; the environment the landscapes, and the people.

GreeeeeN green..

Hi everyone, today we talk about environmental topics and another “green topics”, nowadays people want and wish have more time in to share in outdoor activitiesm, people are interesting with environmental and conservation issues and we can show them some places, internet sites, and publications where they can learn more about this, like www.chileflora.cl, www.chilebosque.cl internet sites where you can find a lot of flora and vegetation information, a lot of beautiful pictures and more things related with taxonomi and distribution of chilean plants. Other web site where you can find information about different projects, conservation status of some particular place and a lot of more things in the ONG Chinchimen website www.chinchimen.org. These guys are working hard in fauna and flora conservation with a lot of voluntaries and love for earth.

Some places in Santiago city are very good equiped to transport you to everywhere by bike, not some places really, some neighbourhood in fact In Providencia for example you can rent a bike for few money and go toeverywhere that you want, its neighbourhood has a lot of bikeways with its respetivity signals and traffic lights. Here, in front of our campus we had a beautiful and long bikeway, a bikeway what today doesn’t exist because the government construct a busway and they forgot the poor people again, who doesn’t has money to pay a bus daily.

The past Sunday, walking Vitacura street I saw a beautiful and interesting architectonic idea. Green walls, the International hotel has its walls wrapping with beautiful and green grass, idea that a lot of new construction should lead.

Our city like a lot of cities around the world has many desabited roofs and whe can tap it constructing some greenhouse or a orchard as well, something that can reduce our carbon footprint. Try it!

Thirty three

Nowadays, when money is most important, the newspapaers only care about publishing news about the economic crysis, and about a big accident that has an economic cause, in which 33 miners are involved.
It´s horrible to think that money ansiety can take 33 people to end 700 mt under the floor.
Obviously the owner of the mine doesn´t know what it feels to be in those conditions, becouse he was worried only about checking money movements from his desk.
It´s a shame to see the famillies of the miners suffering, without knowing if their husbands/fathers/sons will come back home, while the responsable people only suffer becouse of their money loss.
Hopefully no more tragedies like this will be needed to finally take enough care about the conditions of dangerous jobs with high levels of risk like mining.
Chile is a miner and agricultural country, so this activities should be totally known and well practiced. It´s unacceptable that even though mining is the first economic income of the country, there aren´t still enough security standtards to this activity, and more people keeps dying, or having serious helth problems becouse of this.

.::CHILEAN bICENTENARY::.

So, Chile is a little but powerful country in South America you know, and now the country will celebrate its 200th birthday and everybody wants to do something with that. The TV channels for example wants to cover and record all things that have something to do with this particular date and in this way the TV channels want to make a lot of money with this national party. If you see the TV, you would understand what I say.
In the other side of the coin are the typical Chilean people, who wants to embrace this date to say some things to the government about them needs and problems, but nowadays the government don’t have much time to work in that and thus we have a lot of little but important patches of people in different places claiming them rights.

We have a perfect example of that in our beautiful and awesome but forgotten Easter island called Rapa Nui, there, the Rapa’s have a big problem with the Gov. about land people excludes. They want the Gov. return them lands claiming that its are thieved by Gov. years ago.

Here in the continent, we can celebrate because we have the reason to do it, and it’s very nice week, but when the parties end we need take some time to think about the problems and preoccupations in ALL of our country from the Southest to the Northest land.

Finally we must celebrate our Bicentenary with a lot of cultural parties and obviously with a big typical Chilean Fonda! Salu’!!

Salar de Llamara job

Hello, it's me again. Now I want to talk to you about my job and my researches.
I have a nice job, I think these about it because I can combine two differentand emotional topics of life; travel and science. I work on Atacama desert for one year and a half, my job has to do with trees, deserts, water relations and with the ecosystem.

I'm working in a hydrological relation between the Prosopis tamarugo trees and the depth to groundwater in Salar de Llamara. To do this job I need travel to Iquique all months, then when I arrive there I go by truck to the hart of the desert, to Salar de Llamara exactly and then I work sometimes for five days and sometimes for 3 days in that awesome but very hard place.
I say awesome because of the landscape is very beautiful and enormous furthermore I say that is very hard because of the temperatures at night can be -3ºC and 46ºC under the sun in the day. You don't have water anywhere, you need to take with you all water bottles that you can carry.

On desert we can see a lot of different animal and insects communities like Cumpeo foxes, Chilean lizard and some different kinds of birds.
