HOW TO GO GREEN?
For those that don’t know the meaning of this, is an initiative that is implanting to improve the environment and try to help with the problem of global warming, for me it is very important but some people don’t know that, in many countries people have program that helps to this problem, for me is interesting the way we can help to the environment, otherwise I think this is about culture about something that we learn and here in Venezuela is lasting but we don’t have that culture but if you want to help here are some ways to go green and stay green:
1.- Save energy
Install compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) when your older incandescent bulbs burn out. Unplug appliances when you're not using them. Or, use a "smart" power strip that senses when appliances are off and cuts "phantom" or "vampire" energy use. Use a drying rack or clothesline to save the energy otherwise used during machine drying. If you must use a dryer, consider adding dryer balls to cut drying time.

2.-Save water
Take shorter showers to reduce water use. This will lower your water and heating bills too. Install a low-flow showerhead. They don't cost much, and the water and energy savings can quickly pay back your investment. Make sure you have a faucet aerator on each faucet. These inexpensive appliances conserve heat and water, while keeping water pressure high. Plant drought-tolerant native plants in your garden. Many plants need minimal watering. Find out which occur naturally in your area.
3.-Less gas = more money (and better health!).
Walk or bike to work. This saves on gas and parking costs while improving your cardiovascular health and reducing your risk of obesity. Consider telecommuting if you live far from your work. Or move closer. Even if this means paying more rent, it could save you money in the long term. Lobby your local government to increase spending on sidewalks and bike lanes. With little cost, these improvements can pay huge dividends in bettering your health and reducing traffic. 3.- Skip the bottled water. Use a water filter to purify tap water instead of buying bottled water. Not only is bottled water expensive, but it generates large amounts of container waste. Bring a reusable water bottle, preferably aluminum rather than plastic, with you when traveling or at work. Check out this short article for the latest on bottled water trends.
4.- Make your own cleaning supplies.
The big secret: you can make very effective, non-toxic cleaning products whenever you need them. All you need are a few simple ingredients like baking soda, vinegar, lemon, and soap. Making your own cleaning products saves money, time, and packaging-not to mention your indoor air quality.

ARE YOU A HACKER OR A CRACKER ?
When we talk about technology we think about computers and all that things refers to that, nowadays we avoid read messages on our E-mail because sometimes their are not coming from a trusting address, and the people says that you shouldn't open the mails if you don't know the address because maybe is a hacker send you a virus for your computer but do you know the definition for a hacker? Most people think that a hacker is the person who breaks computer and network security but it is not like that I discovered that in my inglish class the truth is that those persons are crackers and a hacker is just a programmer in the free software and open source movement, the person that send you virus to your computer is the cracker, and a person that know many things about computers is the hacker is just that the term it has been misunderstood did you know that?

TECHNOLOGY DO YOU LIKE IT?
How do you feel about technology? Well for me the technology has change everything in the world I think it’s the best thing ever, I like it a lot, the technology is everywhere, the internet, the cell phones, the television, the computers is everything around us, without it we wouldn’t do almost anything, in my opinion is very important because it has helped to medical research and nowadays we can control cancer disease and it has given us many ways of communications like internet, phone and television a good example for that it’s the internet where you can find whatever, any kind of information that can help you to do your homework and if you’re not able to have a computer you can go to a cyber.
Through the technology the television came out which it is one of my favorite inventions that at first it used to be just black and white and now it is colorful, the technology it is always evolving and giving us a way to change our life to better that it is technology for me...
