Why do they always send the poor? (SOAD - Chop Suey)



System of a Down /m/


Hi people, I hope you are full of energy this week n.n Today I'm going to talk about one of many concerts I've been. First I'll tell you a little about the group: System of a Down, also known as SOAD, is an american rock band from Southerm California, formed in 1994. Formed by four members: Daron Malakian (vocals, guitar), Serj Tankian (lead vocals, keyboards and rhythm guitar), Shavo Odadjian (bass, background vocals) and John Dolmayan (drums)
SOAD came in october 2011 when I was still in school. I went to the concert with some friends, it was the first time I went out with lots of people (because truth I'm one of those people who prefer to stay in home) Unfortunately we did not have much money to be close, so  we stayed at the gallery. I think it was the first time they came to Chile and I could feel the emotion of everyone in the stadium. Just started playing, with my friends we screaming like crazy, jump up and push those who were near, we sang all the songs. I had never felt so much happiness. After the concert we went to a friend¿s house, while we walk we keep singing and people joined us. I think the neighbors should hate us for a few minutes jajajaj.

Permaculture

I’m sorry, perma… what?

Hello everyone :) we start a new week so that mean is time for a new blog! Well, today I will talk about permaculture, which is based on imitation of a natural ecosystem with the aim of generate food.

7 Food Forests in 7 Minutes with Geoff Lawton” is a video that you can see in youtube, is about the importance of permaculture nowadays without deteriorating the environment. Lawton explains the importance of the relationship between food and forest. In a world where pollution, poverty and famine increases, the stabilization of an ecosystem that gives us food and is able to sustain itself help us stay alive.

In summary video shows us through 7 stages how an ecosystem develops from its beginnings. The first part consists of seeding soil necessary for plants to grow conditions. Then we see in the next stages how plants will have been growing and where new species like mosses appear. Finally, after a long time, we have a stabilized ecosystem that provides us with food and other materials to survive.

I had no idea about this, at least not from the point of view of Lawton. We know the importance of the ecosystem, as well as providing food, gives us clean air and water. We should be more conscious our surroundings as it is the only place where we live.... for now.

A Wide-Angle View Of Fragile Earth by Yann Arthus-Bertrand

"Only when the last tree is dead, the last river poisoned and the last fish caught you will notice that you cannot eat money" (Anonymous)


Hello again :) It's been a long time since the last time I wrote in this blog. Well I come to have this video which made Yann Arthus-Bertrand who is dedicated to animal photography. Well this video called "A wide-angle view of fragile Earth" talks about, in simple terms, the destruction of the planet caused by climate change and human activity, it shows how it has been the deterioration of the planet through images, which he done during this last year.

Some facts that will make you think before throwing a paper to the floor or spend much time in the shower: In 2050 100% of coral reefs will be lost resulting from climate change (you should know that the reefs are one of the most biologically diverse places in the oceans), every year we lose 50 thousand square miles in deforestation, 70 percent of the fish stock are over-exploited in 2050 fish population will decrease by large proportions.

I recommend you see this video because the images are impressive. It makes you open your eyes, makes you think, makes you want to change the world. Want a better world.

I want a green place, where breathe clean air. I want to see animals, I want to see mountains, glaciers. I want to see how beautiful is the planet before it’s too late. Depends on my, you and all of us that this place still exists.
