BEING A TEACHER IS A DIFFICULT TASK NOWADAYS, SO I DECIDED TO FOLLOW THIS PIECE OF ADVICE BY BRUCE LEE:
Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.
In this comment I am going to talk about our ecologic footprint and about the second-hand clothing shops. Also I am going to talk about the New That’s English.
What it is the ecologic footprint? It is the impact of the human on our environment. So we have to be aware of what we do in our lives. Nowadays the people are more use to throw away things that are new or can be recycled. This can be problem, because in some years there won’t be enough resources or everyone. For recycle our clothes which are small or you don’t like them you can bring them to second-hand shops or to a charity shop.
The New That’s English it is very interesting and can help you to improve your English. They also have a section “That’s Britain” where they speak about a town of Britain. I recommend them I have watched nearly all the episodes and they are nice.
All in all, I think we have to reduce our ecologic footprint, because the next generations will have to live in the Earth unless they colonize other planet. We can help other people which can’t afford clothes giving them our clothes that we don’t need.
YOU CAN ALWAYS DO SOMETHING There are so many charities that it is hard sometimes to know who to donate to. Some people think that it should be the government that should support people in need, whether at home or abroad. Spain has given 13 million euros to ONGS in 2015.One person who was interview in the video said it was better for governments to do this because that way everyone participated. Another girl thought that it was every person´s moral obligation to give money if we have sufficient for luxuries. Other people think that sometimes the money given to big charities doesn´t really get to the people who need it. Some big charity organizations like the Red Cross/Red Crescent and Tear Fund publish information for their members which shows very clearly how much is spent and how it is spend. These charities do very vital work all over the world. Supporting some local charities is a way of insuring that your money get to people in need. Even if you have no money you can support charities by doing sponsored runs or handing on your used possessions. In Salobreña the “Rastro” (a charity shop which takes second-hand items)is run by volunteers and the money they get from selling articles goes to a good cause . They also collect plastic bottle tops. Maybe you could start collecting!
We have adopted a lineal approach... we take, we make and we dispose. If a new phone comes up, so we ditch the old one; if a washing machine breaks down, so we buy another. Each time we do this, we are using up resources, and often producing toxic wastes.
If circular economy were applicable to manufacture sector, it would save 625,000 millions euros, and so, it would create a lot of workstations. The idea of circular economy is reproduce the dynamic of the nature.
In my opinion, circular economic is a great way to pollute less, and that will benefit all of us.
I have done the questionnaire and the result is: My footprint is 2,02 planets, in other words, we would need 2,02 planets if everyone lived my lifestyle, and we only have 1!
Nowadays, the environment and climate change are very important issues. In addition, we all know the relevance of recycling, reducing and reusing. Talking about reuse, there is a very good idea that, although it is quite well known, not many people apply it. And that is second-hand clothing. We like to buy new clothes every few months to renovate our wardrobe. However, in addition to the fact that the fabrication of these clothes is polluting, when we throw them away we are polluting even more.
On the one hand, many people refuse to wear second-hand clothes for reasons such as they are too old, not in fashion or not pretty. Besides, in many places it is difficult to find second-hand clothes shops. Moreover, many times the clothes they sell in those stores may be too old and used, so they are no longer good to wear.
On the other hand, second-hand clothes have many advantages. Apart from the fact that it helps with environmental care, in most cases it is very cheap, even free! Many people donate the clothes they no longer wear, or you can make exchanges with other people. This way you can always have new things in your wardrobe at a low cost. In addition, you can always give your old clothes a new use by cutting or changing them.
In short, second-hand clothing is a very environmentally friendly option that we should try. In my opinion, it would be a good idea to do more promotion for this type of clothing.
Today recycling is very important for the environment. Do you think that all people recycle and donate what they no longer use? Could they recycle more than they recycle?
On the one hand we all know that we could recycle and donate more things than we do. Recycling is one of the most important things we must do to respect the environment and take better care of it. On many occasions, recycling has saved the lives of many people, such as those times when caps were recycled to be able to buy a wheelchair or other things for a child with a disability.
On the other hand, there are also the containers to donate clothes to which many people throw clothes that they no longer use and other people can use. It is true that many people do not care to wear used clothes even if they are in good condition, but to others such as people who live on the street or families who do not have so many economic resources to buy clothes they are very useful and they do not mind wearing used clothes, since they have no other solution.
To finish, I think that sometimes second-hand clothes are in very good condition and we should not be ashamed to wear a shirt or pants that someone has already used as long as it is clean and without breaking, in my opinion the mentality of people should change Since even if you wear brand clothes and another person, we are not all the same.
We have changed over time, we don’t wear the same clothes and neither we don’t have the same hairstyles, but the mode has created a style of outfits with styles of the past. They have combined the old styles with the news.
I love these types of clothes. We can combine the clothes that our parents used and make them our style. In that way, we are recycling clothes and we can experiment with ourselves.
We are not aware but we use it more than we think. The influencers use to use this style of clothes and we use to copy our style of them. Sometimes we don’t know but we are using vintage clothes. Also, clothes shops copy these styles too so when we go to the shops we see a lot of these types of clothes so we finished buying them.
I don't like the second-hand clothing because I prefer new clothes for me, but I like the people wear clothes of other people and so the clothes isn't going to go to the letter. The planet needs things as this. These are the last ten years to save the planet according to some experts who say the planet can change faster that we know and we must to do something. Everybody should do something to save our planet because we don't know if there is another plonet so we must save this.
Other interesting issues: Oxfam, second-hand clothing shops, vintage clothes... What is the 'ecological footprint'?
In this comment I am going to talk about our ecologic footprint and about the second-hand clothing shops. Also I am going to talk about the New That’s English.
