Ixmucané

Last Wednesday we were present at a conference about environmental care that had as aim create conscience in the students about the environment preservation, and moreover, it was the beginning of a project started by old students of the preparatory.

"Ixmucané" is the project's name, and it was given by one of the guys on the team. It is some of the most important things we heard:

The humanity has found a house in the earth, the nature has given to the people all the resources necessaries to survive, and the people have deformed and destroyed the environment to obtain "a better place to live". But the true is that the human hasn't built a better place, the people are really egoist and in the attempt to advance they have killed innocent plants and animals, it means, EXTINCTION.

The extinction is when there`s no more animals or plants of the same specie in the world, lamentably some species are extinct like the dodo, but there's two kind of extinction, because the man and because the enviroment conditions are not adequate. Some extinct species because the enviroment conditions were the dodo bird, the tasmanian tigger, defenseless beast , etc. and some extinct species because the man were the redbellied gracile opossum, cave rat, eastern hare wallaby, mammoth, etc.

Apart from the extinction we need to take care of our environment. In the last decades the pollution has destroyed the environment, the pollution are divided in three types:

Atmospheric pollution: In the big cities, the pollution of the air owes as a result of the gas leaks of the internal combustion engines, to the domestic devices of the, to the industries. The polluted air, most CO2 is liberated in the atmosphere, like gases, steams or solid particles capable of being kept in suspension, with values superior to the normal ones, they damage the life and the health, of the humans, animals or platns, also destroys and modify the environment.

Water pollution: From always the man has overturned his tailing in the waters. In normal conditions the rivers can car be purified: the waters drag the tailing towards to the oceans, the bacteriums uses the oxygen in the waters and degrade the organic compounds, which in turn, are consumed by the fish and the water plants of turning the oxygen and the carbon to the biosphere. But as the humanity was progressing, this becomes increasingly difficult. Often the systems are saturated of tailing, and the industries overturn products that cannot be degraded by the bacteriums. All that does that the content of oxygen diminishes drastically, and that the river already does not have aptitude to support the life in it.

Soil pollution: The pollution of the soil is the presence of principally trash, and compound chemists done by the man or another alteration to the natural environment of the soil. This pollution generally appears when the tanks of underground storage broke up, application of pesticides, filtrations of sanitary landfills or of direct accumulation of industrial products.

One of the examples that we can see in Puebla, is the loss of the phermafrost in the volcano Popocatepetl, other example is the pollution on the river Amazonas.

For these reason we have to take actions to make a better place to live

Here are some of these actions, the 3R

REDUCE: we have to reduce the quantity of the products that we use in our daily routines.

Don’t forget that for make products we need water, energy, minerals, etc, that they cant be in dangerous for our actions. For these here are some advices for reduce

Chose the product whit out toxics and pollutants.

  • Reduce in house, toxics products and pollutants.
  • When you go to shop take whit you your own bags.
  • Reduce the use of water and energy.

RECYCLE: when you go to shop see that the products that you buy are recycling because whit this we can use less products. The products that you can recycle are

· Paper and carton

· Glasses

· Metals

· Plastics

RE-USE: You can use some products over again for make less garbage:

· You can buy bottles whit re-use mode.

· Use the paper for both sides

· Give the clothes that you don’t use.

Do you prefer a facebook or a twitter?



Heeeeeeeeey dums!! How are you? I hope cool, guess what? Today I’m going to talk about social webs. I have been a victim as many people of these sites, it is easy, you enter and decide to open an account in “X” social web and then you become an addictive person! DO NOT DO IT!!! I think it is cool to have one, and meaby put some pictures in your profile but put on it all your information and use this to meet people.

My space is one of the biggest social webs, you can find emos, punks, all kind of people, but the trend is the twitter, I thin that if you want to have an account to a social web you shold try with facebook. Another web sites are hi5, and metroflog, this is the worst of the worst, because it is no safety, all people can access to your profile without your permission, many people spend all time meeting people from all places in the world. In my humble opinion theres nothing as go out with friends than go out with extrange people.

I’m agree that sometimes it is fun because it is entertainment( that is another reason why you should visit our blog than the facebook) but if you are as a stubborn as a mule we give you some advises.

  1. Be carefully from psy people, what is he/she is a killer
  2. As I said, do not give all your personal information
  3. Do try to have electronic friends

October 24th International Day of Climate Action

Hi dummie! Well, I was searching about the climate change and I found that tomorrow is the day of the Internacional Climate Action, so im going to write you about this.

While our leaders continue to talk about what's "politically possible," the world continues to warm and precious days are running. The latest science shows that runaway global warming is even closer than we feared. We can't continue to allow our leaders to sit back and play political games when our future is at stake. Thatss why on October 24th, Greenpeace is joining with 350 organizations and a broad coalition of groups to participate in an international day of action. Events are already planned in over 100 countries around the world. Some are big, some are small, but every single one of them is absolutely necessary. Including yours…

Science clearly tells us that only dramatic action can prevent global warming and its catastrophic impacts, and the world is looking to our leaders to, well, lead. In doing so, they need to think about the next generation, not the next election.

Why we must take care of the planet?

-Mexico occupies the fifth place in deforestation worldwide.
-More than 50 per cent of our forests they disappeared in the last 50 years.
-65 per cent of the original coverage of swamp of our country has disappeared.
-25 millions of peope live in vulnerability because the global warming.
-There is an increasing dependence of the oil and other fossil fuels.
-Most of the commercial fisheries is in the limit of exploitation.
-Every second, more than 205 thousand liters of waters without treating come to the sea.
-73 per cent of the available water in the country is contaminated and needs treatment before being destined for the human consumption.
-More than 80 per cent of the agricultural lands present some level of erosion.
-Every year, the field receives at least 15 thousand tons of pesticides that impress the soil, our food and to the peasants who produce it.
-The liberation of transgenics destroy the ecological diversity, especially the maize.
-80 per cent of the varieties of the maize disappeared.
-More than 30 million persons live in regions with bad quality of the air.

Now more than ever, we need you, we need that the world leaders act to stop global warming, and they need to hear from you dummie and everyone you know. We need thousands of marches, rallies, and vigils worldwide. The event you organise on October 24th will be part of the international cry for world leaders to do what it takes to stop global warming.

DaWn BrOwN


Hi dummies this week I’m going to talk you about Dawn Brown.

Dan Brown is the author of numerous #1 bestselling novels, including The Da Vinci Code, which has sold more than 80 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best selling novels of all time. Named one of the World's 100 Most Influential People by TIME Magazine, he has appeared in the pages of Newsweek, Forbes, People, GQ, The New Yorker, and others. His novels are published in 51 languages around the world.


This writer has written books like “Digital Fortress”, “Angels and demons”, “Deception point”, “The Da Vinci Code”, these books have been a great success around the world because he is a great writer and his style is unique.


The paradoxes between science and religion served as inspiration for his second novel Angels and demons. Later he wrote the polemic novel “The Da Vinci Code”.

The books of this writer have been filmed like “Angels and demons” and”The Da Vinci Code” whit a big success in the cinemas.


The lost symbol is the new book of this writer, here is a little summary about the book:



The Lost Symbol is a masterstroke of storytelling a deadly race through a real-world labyrinth of codes, secrets, and unseen truths... all under the watchful eye of Brown's most terrifying villain to date. Set within the hidden chambers, tunnels, and temples of Washington, D.C., The Lost Symbol accelerates through a startling landscape toward an unthinkable finale.


As the story opens, Harvard symbol gist Robert Langdon is summoned unexpectedly to deliver an evening lecture in the U.S. Capitol Building. Within minutes of his arrival, however, the night takes a bizarre turn. A disturbing object artfully encoded with five symbols is discovered in the Capitol Building. Langdon recognizes the object as an ancient invitation... one meant to usher its recipient into a long-lost world of esoteric wisdom.

When Langdon's beloved mentor, Peter Solomon a prominent Mason and philanthropist is brutally kidnapped, Langdon realizes his only hope of saving Peter is to accept this mystical invitation and follow wherever it leads him. Langdon is instantly plunged into a clandestine world of Masonic secrets, hidden history, and never-before-seen locations all of which seem to be dragging him toward a single, inconceivable truth.

As the world discovered in The Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons, Dan Brown's novels are brilliant tapestries of veiled histories, arcane symbols, and enigmatic codes. In this new novel, he again challenges readers with an intelligent, lightning-paced story that offers surprises at every turn.

The Lost Symbol is exactly what Brown's fans have been waiting for... his most thrilling novel yet.

In the end of the hexagonal of the Concacaf, which gives three direct places to South Africa and one more for the refishing with the fifth place of South America, The air runs in favour of Americans and Mexicans, and Honduras is fighting for have a place, Costa Rica and El Salvador are urged of victories this Saturday.

A gale of good results under the control of the trainer Javier Aguirre extracted Mexico of a storm that was removing it from South Africa and directed it towards a classification that is increasingly nearby. Now it is a second of the hexagonal with fifteen points. The Tri comes of obtaining four consecutive victories, all under the control of the Vasco Aguirre, ex-trainer of the Spanish Osasuna and Athletic of Madrid, only needs a victory on the Salvadoreans, fifth with eight points, to save his fifth consecutive classification to the World Champion. Aguirre seems to have found a team with Guillermo Ochoa, the experience of Miguel Sabah and Guillermo Franco and Cuauhtémoc Blanco in the offense, reforced now by the defender of the Spanish Barcelona Rafael Márquez, he has already recovered of an injury in the knee that it remove two months.

The Salvadoreños trained by the Mexican Carlos de los Cobos, who concentrated his team the last Sunday in Queretaro, he is conscious that a victory would encourage his dreams for go to the first World Champion since 1982. A defeat or a tie will mean for the Central Americans the definitive goodbye to this illusion.
