Session 6: How green are you?

In my house we are trying to make ecological bricks. To do this ecological bricks, you need some bottles with a big bottle neck (like the bottles of Whatts juice), and you have to fill them entirely with plastic, like and empty pack of noodles, cookies and any other different plastics that you can put into the bottle and push inside. We have this initiative a few times before. My parents and my sister always forget to put the plastics inside the bottle and they throw out the trash, so we have to put some reminder in the kitchen. When the ecological brick is ready, we have to take it to the center of the city, for some ecological organizations receive them. We also are growing a garden in the house, with different kinds of lettuces, tomatoes, broad beans, pumpkins and many medicinal plants, besides we plant some trees, such as peach trees and apple trees.

I think that this is not enough to help solve the ecological problems, but at least we are trying to learn more about how to take care of all the trash and pollution that we make every day. This whole world is going to the hell, we have to do something now.

When I started the career of psychology I wasn't be very sure with this option, because when I graduated from school I didn't have much clarity about what I liked to do for the rest of mi life (is that possible? I think not). I was between many options besides psychology, such as pedagogy in philosophy or history, and veterinary. Finally, I got a post in psychology with a grant, so I decided to enroll the career. In this three years, I can say that I really like some aspects from the career, like my classmates and friends, some subjects and teachers. I think that for the fact of being in an institution I will never like a career completely, any career.

Anyway, I like the things that I have learned in all this time, and I think that’s going to be very useful for the future that I want to create. I'd like to work in a social organization, with self-management and educational character. I think that when I graduate from psychology, I’m going to study something associated to permaculture and organic farming. I also like to learn more about a lot of things, like music, belly dancing and play some sports like mountain climbing. 

I don’t know much about cinema and his types, but I really like to see movies. In general, I like any kind of movies that keeps me entertained (like horror, dramatic or comedy films), make me think over, or any movies that express some aspect from reality or imagination, like artistic movies. Anyway, making movies it’s already an art.

The last movie I saw was “Tales from earth-sea” (Cuentos de terramar), from Studio Ghibli. The movie is about alchemy and magic, and tells the history of a young boy that kills his father and run away to the desert. I’ve seen many animated movies from Studios Ghibli, like Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, Porco Rosso, etc. I like them a lot because have ecological and social messages, and besides they have a great style in his drawing graphic.
