Problemas Locales in Discussion in Spanish
Posted on Oct 16 2009 at 08:47PM by santiago.paez
No fuiste tu quien hace un tiempo escribio que todo lugar era importante, porque no estudiar el caso de las galapagos tambien. Y realmente si son un caso interesante pues sus arrecifes de coral estan adaptados a resistir grandes cambios de temperatura porque sufren periodicamente del fenomeno del niño; no son por eso mas valorables que otros pues son fuente de estudio para salvar a todos?

Posted on Oct 16 2009 at 09:43PM by santiago.paez
One way to find the solution is by the way of education. Many schools don't even have recycle program, this is something incredible. Childhood shall be educated since they are young to make sure in the future they now how to recycle, save energy or water.... I know its not easy but is not impossible. Once in a year many people turn off their lights during 5 minutes to save some energy. Its a good start but we should do it everyday, turning off the lights of the house, the computer, or tv. Probably if one person did this the effect would be very low, but lets imagine 6 billion people did this. I think we could save our lives and the life of a planet that does not belong to us.

Do You know Tokyo characterisitics?? Or New York??, they are big citties, it s the same if u create a "lung" there or in other part oof the world, but we have one and a big one; the Amazon forest. This jungle is dissapearing every day, and we are doing almost nothing to protect it. Why don't we insted of creating small lungs in big citties we heal this lung in the Amazon forest!
If we don't care for the biggest forest in the world, who is going to care about small forests near big citties??
Yes, In a certain Way in Evidence of climate change and ideas
Posted on Oct 17 2009 at 01:04AM by santiago.paez
You are right, but probably big citties are not a good place for a lung,, u imagine a lung near a big city!!! Pollution will kill it, i mean creat a new lung is a good idea but it has to be in a place where it can grow and expand. I think a good idea for big citties is good recycle plan, for example saving energy, picking up papers, anyway u know what I mean and i think its an interesting idea create a new lung but we have also to protect the ones we have.

Fue la primera especie documentada que su extinción se provoco a causa del calentamiento global. El ultimo ejemplar de este individuo fue observado hacia finales de la decada de los 80'. Parece qie este era el ultimo de su especie. El Sapo dorado fue tan solo el primero de una larga lista de especies cuya extincion se ha documentado por causa del calentamiento global. Talves más especies corran con la misma suerte como los osos, las ballena.... Podriamos imaginar un mundo sin arrecifes, el Amazonas o muchos otros paisajes que estan a punto de desaparecer?

Empresas como NIKE son empresas que ganan millones de dolares, son embargo a que costo. Hoy en dia las empresas tienen normas para que su producción no contamine el planeta o si no hay una sanción. Esta empresa voto sus desechos donde no debía y le resulto una gran multa. Sin embargo las ganacias superan esa multa. Entonces, puedo poner los equipos para no dañar el medio ambiente a un costo muy alto, o puedo pagar una multa mucho mas barata qie ñps equipos pero daño al medio ambiente. Simplemente esta decidio pagar la multa.

Posted on Oct 17 2009 at 08:03PM by santiago.paez
El que crea que este ha sido el unico cambio de clima que ha habido en la historia esta mal. Siempre han habido cambios de clima a lo largo de la historia, sino que este es muy drastico.
Ha habido ciclos en la tierra; cuando hay glaciaciones bajan los niveles de CO2 y despues suben, y bajan. Hace 10,000 años, cuando se inicio la agricultura y la sedentarización y nivel de CO2 no bajo lo suficiente y si comenzo a subir lentamente. En el ultimo siglo esta cifra se disparo. Aunque no ha sido controlada, esta se puede controlar ya que no ha llegado a un "punto imposible". Asi que, CONTESTA AL LLAMADO!
Pensar en Macro,,, la Energia in Discussion in Spanish
Posted on Oct 19 2009 at 09:18PM by santiago.paez
Para un mejor futuro basicamente van a existir tres tipos de energía
las cuales tienen tanto desventajas como ventajas, si pensamos en
reciclaje o en apagar la luz es bueno pero no suficiente, hay que
pensar en macro.
- Energía solar, tiene tres tipos de
extracción de la energía; el más común y usado normalmente son las
células fotválticas. Al comprar un propio equipo practicamente podemos
decir que la gente se podría volver autosuficiente respecto a la
energía Sin emabrgo para logra esta eficiencia necesitamos instalar un
buen número de paneles. Estas celulas tienen un mejor uso en verano,
sin embargo puede haber escacez, el sol no siempre brilla. Sin embargo
su precio puede llegar a ser alto para ciertas personas, aunque este
ultimo cada vez es mas acequible. - Energía Eolica: Es energía
generada a partir del viento. Esta tiene una critica muy fuerte ya que
muchas veces no hace tanto viento y muchos molinos quedan sin uso. Las
turbinas de viento no funcionan al maximo, solamente alrededor del 28%.
Sin embargo esta turbinas ya constituyen el 21% de la energía de
Dinamarca. Esta energia se predice que se va a expandir en los ultimos
años, sin embargo para poder darle energía a una ciudad pequeña se
necesitarian muchos de estos. - La Energía Nuclear: se libera
energía nuclear espontaneamente con las reacciones nucleares. Esta
energía funciona al 76% de su efectividad y es de las que mayor energía
puede suministrar (1,700 megavatios). Además de esto sus emisiones son
libres de el temible CO2. Sin embargo este tipo de energía es la que
mayor polemica encuentra. Primero el hecho de que sumistre energía esta
puede caer en malas manos y usarla para fabricar armas. Segundo el
menor error y puede ocurrir algo parecido a la catastrofe de Chernobil
donde no se puede vivir y gran parte de la tierra quedo infertil para
siempre.Tambien los desechos de estas contienen mucha radiación. Ademas
de los obvios riesgos construir una de estas vale 1 800 millones de
dolares, tarda 10 en construirla y algun tiempo para dar ganancia,
entonces no muchos empresarios se arriesgan a usarla. Por ultimo
conseguir el permiso para tener una central nuclear puede ser
complicado, y cada vez las reserva de uranio son mas escazas.
cualquiera de estas energías es un riesgo, sin embargo no debería ser
tan complicado si tenemos en cuenta que estamos escogiendo nuestro
futuro. Escoger alguna de esta energía como base por ejemplo la nuclear
y las otras dos para complementarla seria un excelente avance y se
podria encaminar cada vez mas el mundo a un futuro mejor. Obviamente se
puede ayudar en mas sectores como en el de los carros, o el tema
preferido de muchos la "conciencia ambiental", pero creo que el tema de
la energía es algo mucho mas global que podria implementarse con la
ayuda de los gobiernos y empezar a cuidar lo que no es de nosotros. Read more on this topic »

Why we have to use books and things that many people find boring. If u guys want to create a conscience you can see videos like this one of Futurama, i like it and its something small kids and some adults like, I think this is a way to cooperate! although many people doesnt think the same as me.

Posted on Oct 21 2009 at 01:07AM by santiago.paez
EL calentamiento global es un porblema que si no se soluciona ahora,
cuando no ha llegado a su maximo punto, sera muy dificil solucionarlo
ahora. Sabiendo esto un gobierno deberia invertir en nuevas tecnologias
para evitar este problema. Sin embargo, presidentes como Lula o Chavez
invierten en "mejores cosas". La CARRERA ARMAMENTISTA de Brasil lleva
una cifra de mas de 20 billones de dolares. Una central nuclear cuesta
2 mil millones de dolares, muchos parques eolicos, miles de paneles
solares etc... Las cifras de Chaves son parecidas. Aunque hay que
reconocer que Lula ha invertido en nuevas teconologias, PORQUE GASTA
TANTO EN LA GUERRA; no aprendimos la leccion con tantas guerras que
hemos tenido?, de hechi se ha comprobado que en las guerras de suben
los niveles de CO2. Por favor! queremos paz y un mejor planeta.
Quisiera que esta carrera armamentista acabara y se invirtiera mejor la
plata. Nuestro futuro esta en manos de pocos, puede estar en nuestras
manos pero todavia no tenemos la suficiente madurez; PORFAVOR

Funny Video that Show an upcoming disaster, in Education and awareness
Posted on Oct 21 2009 at 11:38PM by santiago.paez
Polar bear fair is used for having a good body temperature and many other things due to the place he lives. This video shows how he is taking his fur off because of the future problem that is going to happen. In the real life polar bears won't have a place where to live. Their extintion can be happening in the next 20 or 30 years if we dont act quickly. This typ of videos I think normal people will enjoy more than the common documentary that will be really boring for them. I think videos like this one with some text could do more on people's mind than many other things.

EL gobierno es un organismo que debe garantizar el orden y la seguridad del pueblo. Este debe invertir en proyectos ecologicos por iniciativa propia y no por que el pueblo le exija. Sin embargo la inversion extranjera puede ser buena, pero nos debemos limitar a que nos ayuden? Pese a que es un problema global NOSOTROS tambien tenemos que ayudar, pues se puede ayudar a esta causa sin tener dinero. Creo que esperar que otros nos ayuden no es la respuesta.

Posted on Oct 24 2009 at 03:25PM by santiago.paez
Es una especie de rana descubierta en 1973. Un interesante caso de
que cuando por primera vez se hallo tenía una pequeña creatura en su
boca. Su propio hijo, ¡¿era canibal?! NO! Esta rana tenía la capacidad
de poder criar a sus crias en su estomago y cuando ya estuviesen la
suficientemente grandes los liberaba. La rana fue descubierta en 1973.
Su impacto en muchos cientificos fue de entusiasmo. Como una rana podía
haber convertido su estomago en una incubadora. Lastimosamente se
extinguio en 1979, tan solo 6 años despues. Que causo esto? No se sabe
a ciencia cierta pero al parecer fue el calentamiento global quien
acabo con esta increible rana.

U.S.A is against the use of drugs. What they should do is to control the addicts they have there with different types of instituions. How ever they don't like to do that. They sell a special product to Colombia that kills the "coca" but also kills the rest of the vegetation. The "coca" is in many parts of the Amazonas, so many parts are going to dissapear. Are we acting like "intelligent humans" doing this? Please governments of the world! React to what it is really important!

If temperature rises 2 degrees; many insects will dissapear. Polar bears will be in their "stairway to heaven". Many of the Artic had already disappear, and many desserts will appear. Also the CO2 will be 450 parts/million. Many forests and coral reefs will disappear. The earth most valuable treassures will be on their way to extintion.
And u guys, what are u doing for the environment? When was the last time u told someone to turn off the lights? We have to demand each government to act in an efficient way!, instead of wasting their money in stupid things like war.
Taking Care of What we Have in Sustainable - A life's ethics
Posted on Jan 23 2010 at 11:16PM by santiago.paez
Extreme cold mornings have damage a big ammount of the crops we have here, in the afternoon the sun is so agressive that many of ponds farmers had are dissapearing. As a solution, we decided to help in our farm planing trees at the side of the ponds we have, this will help the ponds to survive this extreme weather. However, we can do more things about global warming, many people stay for hours in the shower and just don't care about what's going on. Personally, my shower lasts three minutes, 1 when i wash myself, 1 turning off the shower and using the soap, and 1 removing the soap and shampoo. Im sure if people see how many ponds and lakes are dying they will save as much as water as they can. Later on i will upload some photos I've taken on how is reflected global warming in my country. Answer the Call.

Posted on Jan 24 2010 at 12:09AM by santiago.paez
Today I had the chance to talk to a farmer. We met him some months ago, and every year he sells his berries (not the normal ones, this ones are bigger). However this year things were not the same. He told me "This new year climate is acting really strange", his crop was the smallest one he had had during all his life. He had no idea what was going on, however his crops were dying. I told him every year things were going to get worse. I told him he could do some things to save his crops. He could take some buckets and take the water from the raining to use it in his daily life. Also he could turn off the light he leaves all night long on in order to watch his crop. Instead he could buy or adopt a dog that will take care of his crop. The farmer probably understood a little bit what is going on, but think of the other thousands of farmers who doesn't know what is going on. They don't know their crops are dying because you left the computer on all the weekend, or spent two hours in the shower...

Many students spent a lot of paper in their universities and schools. Tons of paper are printed every day and thousands of trees are being cut off. Recycling paper means more than throwing a bunch of paper in a box, recycle it! We need to make conscience of the situation we are living in right now, I don't use notebooks, instead in my school there is a green box where people leave the copies of things they don't want, so i use that paper and there I take my notes, teachers like it, I like it and I made a contribution, so I think it's a good method.

Posted on Jan 27 2010 at 12:29AM by santiago.paez
I was talking with a teacher about Global Warming and we thought; each year we spent a lot of money in books and copies, and many of those are thrown away. We came with the idea that the school should buy a Wi-Fi web and ask each of the students to buy a kindle or a Tablet pc, there we can find the books and articles we want. It would be better if we had solar chargers for those PC in order to save energy. it sounds crazy but if u think in all the money you spent in a year of school and furthermore in eleven years of school, you will see it's a good idea and some trees can be saved. We are in a point we need to help the planet to survive, we are destroying a planet that was borrowed to us, so we need to think what changes we can make in our daily life to help our planet.

Posted on Jan 31 2010 at 01:59PM by santiago.paez
Many jungles are suffering of global warming. Among this jungles the Amazon is suffering. I recently talked to a guy who is the boss of a visitors center in the Amazon, he said to me, if global warming continues the mosquitoes on the top of the trees can't find the water in the leaves, so they will now be on the surface, and many people are using repellents that damages the environment. He takes off from tourist all this stuff that pollutes the environment, he has a big conservation center for the Amazon, he gave me this tip:
If you are travelling to any hot weather; use this ecological repellent called "Palmari Magic Mix: Put equal amounts of Alcohol and “Menticol” in a blender, along with one bar of “Nopikex” soap, 6 camphor tablets, 30 cc. (aprox. 1 Ounce) Citronella essence and 2 tablespoons of 10% Eurax for each 250 ml. of alcohol/“Menticol”. Mix thoroughly and bottle in a manually working atomizer. http://www.palmari.org/vcd/en/repelente/index.htm" it will not cost you more than 10 dollars for the materials and furthermore you will have a good repellent completely ecological.
Responsability in Sustainable - A life's ethics
Posted on Feb 14 2010 at 10:08PM by santiago.paez
Few methods
are being applied here in relation to Global Warming. The culture about GW
doesn't go that far in many countries. The Government is not acting as a model
for the people to change their way of living.
Bogota
is a big city with thousands of cars. Many of these cars are buses, these ones
are old and their emissons of CO2 are really high. The governmet has to invest
in new technologies, new ways of taking this buses out of the roads in a way
that many people won't lose their jobs and the emissions of CO2 are going to be
reduced.
Many
people prefer to use a taxi rather than walking because there are many
robbers in some streets, and in other places there are not even routes for
walking. Is the government responsability to act, to motivate the people to
walk and make the change.
It's a Global Problem in Sustainable - A life's ethics
Posted on Feb 14 2010 at 11:39PM by santiago.paez
Colombia is a very important country for the natural world. It is one of the most diversified countries among all the species of animals and plants it has. However many of these nature we have is being destruct by the Guerillas and the war against drugs. We have the intentions to conserve and keep these place but this war is not letting the government do it, instead its causing us to destroy it, because the government is not getting the help it needs from the international community, nor from our neighbors (Venezuela, Ecuador). The damage this anti narcotics war and this terrorism war is causing to Colombia and to the WORLD in the environmental part is really extreme. Many sources of water are located in these places many possible innovations for these new age we are in can be done in these places. The International Community has to act because this is not a local problem, it's a Global problem.

I couldn't upload my photos from flickr to connect2earth for some reason, however I will explain the photo. There is a tree with its leaves completely black as if a fire had burn it. There was no fire in the zone, it was an extreme cold morning that "killed" this tree, and there was no water because at noon the sun was so hot that many of the water source had evaporate. Next year will be worst. Each year that passes through is going to make these temperatures be even worse than the year before. We need to prepare to this problem, we start by planting trees near the water sources and then by protecting these place in order for the cows not to step there. The rain is starting to show its face again and the water is starting to appear in these sources. However the effect on the economy of the region was something crazy. Most of the crops died, and many trees from the forest went down. We need these months to adapt. Plant trees and take care of them, if another strange climate like the one that just passed appears next year we will be in serious problems if we are not well prepared. Big tanks have been place in order to take the water from the rain, however as we know global warming is unpredictable. Who knows what is going to happen next if we don't give our resource a mature use.

Posted on Feb 15 2010 at 12:14AM by santiago.paez
I am totally in accord with you, the government is not investing our money in a proper way. Billions are being invested in war accessories. I'm not going to discuss about politics, because it is a theme no one is ever going to be happy with it, the important theme we all have to be together in is that there is a global warming going on and we have to make something about it. The world most prosperous countries have the obligation to help the other countries in the environmental part.
Mountains are going to be affected really bad by this problem. In Colombia a good amount of water comes from the "Andes Mountains", however some days ago the temperature was so high (something not normal in Bogota) that the "cerros"(mountain) was on fire thanks to guys who drop glasses there. A big part of this place was totally burned. The process of reforest the zone is expensive, but worthy. I have no problem in paying higher taxes, if this taxes are spent in a proper way.
Sustainable Energy in Sustainable - A life's ethics
Posted on Feb 21 2010 at 03:50PM by santiago.paez
Important things about it:
- YOU HELP THE ENVIRONMENT.
- You are independent on your energy depending the amount of pannels you are willing to buy.
- It could be expensive for some people, however it means you will have your own energy for about 30 years, it is more the money you will save than the one you will spent.
- It is a way to live according to the planet means, and also you are going to motivate many people to act like you.
- We will see a bigger change when more people discover the BIG ADVANTAGES about it.
- It's not anti stetic, as you saw on the video it can be adaptad to the roof of your house, or a design by you.
Hope you like the video, i like this quote, "Some people call this living green, thinking green, ancting green, I think is acting responsibly", this is the conscience we need to create, i think this phrase was amazing.
Five Earths in Sustainable - A life's ethics
Posted on Feb 25 2010 at 02:18AM by santiago.paez
One of the factors of global warming is the over population in the planet. More population = more consumption = more pollution; however this more often in poor countries, developing countries or countries where the base is poor like China. There is no conscience about what it means to have a baby. Many poor women have a baby as a source of money; they use the baby as a puppet in order to touch the human heart and to earn money in that way. Its estimated that by 2050 there will be 9 billion people. Imagine all the problems we are facing now (poverty, hunger, social conflict) with 3 billion people more. The planet has some limits, limits we can't exceed. Strict laws have been the answered to many of the problems the humanity have faced. This one is a big problem we should all be aware of, it's the governement time to act for the people.
