How green are you?

Hi bloggers today the topic is How green are you?...
Today so many people are worried about the recycling, and how can do better, and ones of biggest problem is the batteries, we are used batteries in so many thigs like toys, watch, electrical appliance, computers,etc... and all this thing its part of the waste in houses, some batteries contain different chemical compound, and when this run down could be affect negatively.
exist different types of batteries like:

  • acid batteries and manganese oxid
  • batteries compound to cadmium-nickel
  • batteries compund to acid lead ( this are in most to automobile industry)
  • batteries compound to mercury oxid
Not all those batteries are equally dangerous, this depend about the differents chemistry compound, the most dangerous are the mercury batteries.


What can do to help and reduce the quantity to batteries?

First you can use more electrical appliance, and if you have to do use batteries you can buy the rechargable batteries, this way you help to reduce the quantity of batteries because you reused instead  throw out of waste.

Batteries recycling? 
The batteries are bring to recycling plant and that place are been separate to others metals.
This way reclycle a dangerous compound y we prevent to contaminate the enviroment and damage persons.

What can we do with this batteries?
these are been almacened, after are grind mechanically and you will have ferric slag and no ferric, paper, plastic and powder.

Trash Management

Hi bloggers! today the topic is Trash management... 
Trash affect everyones, each person produce like a 384 kg aprox per years, that´s a lot, if multiply for every persons in the worldis a huge quantity of trash, for that reason exist the trash managment. One measure could be a recycle, we can help in differents ways, in different places around the city we can found a diferents containers one for paper, other for glass, carton, plastics, etc, you can help to save the world, reduce the quantity of trash and reuse this materials, the only thing you have to do is separate this things in your house and later take and put in this containers.

In Chile we don´t have a culture to recycle like in others countries, they have different  trash can, one for the carton, plastic, paper and the trash truck take this different materials and take them for a recycling plant.

Other form you have to help is buy a rechargeable batteries, with this we help to reduce the quantity the batteries in the trash , this is so important because the batteries get delay like a 1000 years to decompose and this are highly contaminant, the batteries have very metals  like mercury ( this is the most damaging), zinc, cadmium, arsenic. These metals could be absorb to the soil, that is very dangerous because they can arrive to the sea, one battery done with mercury can be contaminate like 600.000 lts of water and kill to many sea animals

I wish to have the opportunity travel a lot in my job, I wanna know every place in this world, and I want to learn about everything.

Genetic Modified Organisms

GMO´s ( genetically modified organisms), are plant or animal created by techniques of biotechnology.
This experimental technology used DNA from differents species, creating a combinations of plant, animal, bacterial and viral genes cannot occur in nature.
A plant with a desired trait is chosen and reproduced to produce more plants with the desirable trait, and plants with this technology are called transgenics. 
When this process is used to produce insect or herbicide resistant plants, they are referred to Genetically Modified Crops.
Countries that grow GM crops include; Argentina, Australia, Canada, China, Germany, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Portugal, South Africa, Spain, United States, Ukraine, and many more.
GMO´s have different uses like: 
  • Pest resistance
  • Herbicide tolerance
  • Disease resistance
  • Cold tolerance
  • Salinity tolerance
  • Nutricion
  • Pharmaceuticals
  • Phytoremediation
I think that Herbicide tolerance, cold tolerance and disease resistant are the most important once, the GMO are used like food for many people and for that reason the food industries incorporated this technology. The diseases resistant and pest resistance have a positive results because that permit the less used of chemicals, and that contribute to people health, and the cold tolerance permit sow in cold places that usually you can`t sow. This is a topic you have keep in mind.
