Nuestro Planeta se Queja

Published by under La Playa San Juan,weather

Cuando un niño está enfermo o lo molestan llora, los mayores gritamos y decimos “tacos”, los animales patean, muerden, arañan, etc. Y nuestro planeta, esta enorme urbanización de donde somos inquilinos, protesta “regalándonos”  terremotos, lluvias torrenciales que causan inundaciones, erupciones volcánicas, huracanes, tsunamis, cambios de clima, etc. Y es que al parecer no nos estamos portando muy bien con El, incordiándolo con todo lo que podemos y despreocupándonos de protegerlo.

A nadie escapa todas las catástrofes que han pasado en los últimos meses, solo nombraré a dos de ellas de diferentes consecuencias pero ambas de magnitud desproporcionadas. El terremoto de Haití (uno de los mas fuertes registrados) acabó con la vida de miles de personas y destruyó un país; y el que ahora estamos aún sufriendo, la erupción de un volcán en Islandia, cuyo nombre no lo se pronunciar (Eyjafjallajokull) que tiene paralizada la aviación, con decenas de millares de pasajeros “varados” en los aeropuertos  europeos con las lógicas pérdidas económicas, de tiempo y molestias.

Creo que es hora de que meditemos un poco en todo esto, quizás la polución de la atmósfera, de  los mares, las aguas, etc. no tenga nada que ver con lo sucedido  o la deforestación desmedida tampoco, podría ser que es un ciclo evolutivo  que sucede cada unos cuantos miles de años y hasta se puede calificar de normal, pero lo cierto es que algo está pasando y que todo esto ocurre cuando peor nos portamos con la naturaleza y tal vez sería bueno que recapacitáramos y cambiáramos nuestra actitud hacia este mundo que nos acoge porque en realidad no le estamos haciendo cosquillas como para que se ría. Por otra parte si esto es el preámbulo del juicio final….pues entonces dentro de unos años todos calvos, claro, salvo los buenos.

Climate Change will ruin us

Published by under weather

Today we celebrate Blog Action Day. .. an annual event that unites the world’s bloggers in posting about the same issue on the same day. Their aim is to raise awareness and trigger a global discussion. This year the subject is climate change.. So here goes our contribution..

What would you do if a group of professionals called you and told  you that your house was in danger and you have to take urgent action if you want to keep holding on to it? I imagine that after the first shock you would start to fix it as soon as possible and amend what you have done wrong to get into this situation because it is the home where you and your family live and you do not want to see it destroyed or deteriorated.

For many years, scientists have been warning us about the peril we face if we continue emitting an excessive amount of toxic gases into the environment that can produce the much-touted greenhouse effect and will end up with global warming that will hold dire consequences for everyone. This planet, our true home, where we live is undergoing a change in its metabolism  and directly affects us all.

Carrefour says No to plastic

Published by under weather,Tecnology

Finally someone has started to do something more than just theorize about how the plastic bag actually contaminates, how it takes 400 years to degrade, how it builds 4 grams of CO2 in its production, how it damages marine plants …

Carrefour, with an excellent business perspective, and informative website “give the environment a hand” has taken the solidarity lead nd launches a line of bags with different price points, materials and uses with which it aims to go make the bolsas caca” disappear.

September showers in Playa San Juan

Published by under La Playa San Juan,weather

This morning was very sad to see the Albufereta beach after yesterday’s rains. Again the sand has been drawn back and there is major fissure that divides this place where we used to spend pleasant hours hanging out in both the winter and summer.

I guess this afternoons rains have not helped recover the appearance of these past days, and they say tomorrow, Tuesday will also bring on more rain which could be devastating.

Apparently, the Barranco del Juncaret overflowed and that provoked all this. In addition, strong gusty winds uprooted trees, branches and even the occasional streetlight in the area.

More worryingly, perhaps is that it is  just  the beginning of the season where the threat of “gota fria” has not yet arrived, and some suggest that this year could be a bad one.

Anyway we comfort ourselves with that saying “never rained that did not stop,” and I guess we will have to fill in our sand of our beloved Albufereta beach once again…

When do I change over to summer clothes?

Published by under weather

The good weather is finally here, after a hard winter or what we always say has been the worst winter of all, and this is the time of year I like to call the season of the costumes, because you’ll find people in short sleeves and sandals or  evena  scarf and coat, my closet is a disaster because I start mixing different seasons and the worst thing is I don’t know what to wear. ..

I’m not sure if  this happens to you, but every year when I start making the season change in my closet I don’t know what to do or what to get rid off.. I say to myself….. this was my mothers or,  I will keep this so I could wear it when I lose weigh, or I’m sure this will come back in style… and so on. The good thing is that this year I purchased items, which never go out of fashion and always will be a base in my closet. Am I maturing or is my pocket getting thin?
