Hi everyone. Today’s post topic is one career related website. Forestry is a career that study different ecosystems, mainly, trees and plants, this include to know the common name and scientific name of them, or to know them distribution, among others, so is very useful to know websites that deliver data like this. For this reason I chose the website:   chileflora. I like this web page, because has data such as: distribution, scientific and common name, common height, habitat, uses, family, classification of species according to climatic zone, of different native plants of Chile (ferns, cactus, trees, and many others).

Hello everyone! Today’s post topic is one very important and that concerns the whole world: Climate Change.   Mainly, this phenomenon is happening due to human action and the industrial activities, causing a great impact on our planet. The climate change has already had observable effects on the environment. Glaciers have shrunk, some rivers and lakes have dried up, there have been extreme heat waves, floods in some parts of the world, among other effects.   I think there is a lack of awareness on the part of most people regarding on the damage that is being done to our planet. For example, in summer many people go to the beach and enjoy it, but when they leave, some people forget one thing, their trash. Trash that will then fall into the sea and will damage the habitat of many species. Really?   Is it so hard to keep the trash in your pocket? Our planet is beautiful and nature teaches us so much, let’s takes care of it!
