Blog Action Day - Climate Change

, , , ...

After a Mexican, Mario Molina winner of the Nobel Prize of chemistry in 1995, more people noticed the climate change around the world by letting know people of the ozone layer depletion caused mainly by CFCs.

The main reason that caused the depletion of the One of the main reason of the depletion is because the improper disposal of old refrigerators and the extensive use of CFCs found in sprays. People disposes of them without proper ways, because they are not interested, they don’t know or they think it’s easier throwing them away causing a “small” damage to the environment that it will later repair quickly by itself. The best way is informing people of the damage caused by CFCs and where they can dispose them; there even is a discount of exchanging an old refrigerator for a $100 dollars coupon used to buy a new refrigerator that will be CFC free and energy efficient. And in the USA, it’s the law because you will get that coupon to pay it for law infringement. :D

Some people want to be white while others want to be brown

One thing I don't understand of people is that they don't like what they are, and I'm not religious nor I'm telling any religion but I think we were created the way we are because of a reason, but some people are not satisfied how they were created.

Something I found curious is that some Caucasian Americans want to be Mestizos looking, aka brown people. The way they do it is by putting exaggerated amounts of tanning lotion or spending all day under the sun or tanning beds, that it will probably lead them to skin cancer because they are very propense to it because of the skin tone.



And with the Mestizos, or Hispanic people, whatever way you want to say it, they want to be white skin tone. Some people do it using clearing skin tones creams like the one called White Secret.


Just an example, not a girl that wants whitening

This is one thing people are not OK with it, there are other like hair, body complexion voice, intellect, etc. But well.

You are built not to shrink down to less but to blossom into more.

Why did you nickname me?

, , , ...

The way you look or anything you do makes you get a nickname, either you get with it or you hate it. They reflect something peculiar of you but sometimes you don’t want to be reminded of it. Usually your classmates are the ones they put you the nickname, but something curios for me when living in the USA is that people asked you if they could call you that way.

That was very different from Mexico when people start asking you a way you don’t want to be called, while in the USA, because many reason like getting sued for many reasons, even one time I was asked if I could be called “Texas” because a shirt a brought to Team Sports class, they even thought I was from that place also because the different way I talked and looked.

Would it be ...?

What would you do if you suddenly lost contact of a loved one during many years and you tried to get information of them, even with the internet and it would be very difficult. What would happen if after many time looking you were sure that you found that person. How would you feel? Exasperated because that person has had you email, an old one you keep only waiting to get contacted by that person, and that person has never tried to send you an email? I would like to write that person’s name but I won’t do it and just want to see her again one more time.
