💪🙋‍♀️WOMEN´S SUFFRAGE IN CHILE 🙋‍♀️💪

How has women's participation in the polls influenced,
Why is it important that we go to the polls this 21/11/21?

In the history of Chile, the struggle for our right to vote lasted for decades and mobilized thousands of women throughout the country, women who were convinced that our voice should be heard. In 1934, women's suffrage was approved for municipal elections, and it was not until 1949 that women were granted the right to vote in presidential and parliamentary elections.

It has been 72 years since the approval of women's suffrage, and we women have only participated in the election of 10 presidents of the Republic, considering that the country has elected more than 30. It is important that women vote, because the groups that do not participate are delegating their participation to others. 

In these presidential primaries I think it is very important not to forget that women have been excluded for centuries and we must not lose the opportunity to participate and fight with our vote, against ideas that obscure our rights. Especially when there are presidential candidates' programs that seek to subtract the advances in gender and women's rights. A government without a gender perspective is going backwards.

MY FAVORITE SUBJECT : Plant morphology and anatomy.

Today im going to talk about my favorite subject. My favorite subject in university has definitely been plant morphology and anatomy. Basically, plant morphology studies the external structure; that is, the organs that make up the body of the plant (leaves, stems, roots, etc.). And anatomy studies the internal structure of the plant; that is, the tissues that make up each of the plant's organs. 

I really enjoyed this bouquet because each class was a great new discovery for me, it is such a microscopic world that at first glance we see it so simple but in reality it is all event.

I have been fascinated to understand the evolution and adaptation of terrestrial plants with flower and without flower through adaptation mechanisms that, although I think they have been random, have marked a before and after in the history of the earth and also in that of The humanity.

The truth was a world that I thought I knew but over time I realized that it is much more complex than what I imagined.

Douglas Thompkins (:

 

Photography 1 "Douglas Thompkins in Chile"

When I asked myself who should be admired in the forestry world, the first thing I thought was the admirable and great legacy that Douglas Thompkins left with his wife here in Chile.

I really admire people who have meaningful projects, and he was one of them!

In short, Douglas was an American businessman who created the great brand of outdoor products "The North Face" and together with his first wife he created "Espirit", a clothing brand for women's dresses. After a while, Tompkins sold The North Face to focus on filming adventure travel and, increasingly concerned about the ecological impacts of the fashion industry, decided to leave the corporate world, sell his shares and allocate most of it. from their income to the conservation of the land.

In an article I read that he dreamed of a Patagonia crossed by a protected biological corridor. It was criticized by many! Since they could not understand that such a millionaire businessman dedicates all his time and energy to conservation. It was totally strange for them that a man had a different look at nature, a look that goes beyond the mere transformation of it. He died on December 8, 2015.

Time taught us that we were privileged and fortunate that Tompkins chose southern Chile as the epicenter to undertake this titanic task of creating new parks and their subsequent donation to the State of Chile. In total, the foundation that bears his name donated 407,000 hectares to the State, which is the largest donation of land by a private person to a State.

How can forestry engineering make the world a better place?

Photography 1 "Forest plantations are not forests"

If we search the network for "disadvantages of the forest industry" we can find a problem that has been discussed for years, since forest plantations harbor less biodiversity than native forests, reduce the availability of water, increase the presence of exotic species, they frequently involve the use of herbicides, are subject to pest attack, promote erosion, increase sedimentation in water courses, store less carbon than native forests, and new precedents appear every day that harm climate change. Forest plantations are not forests.

As a forestry engineer, I would like to be in charge of research that allows better forest management in forests, ensuring the care and respect of native forests so that no forestry company ends them. I believe that with this vision I could help society to become aware of the importance of the forest for ecosystems.

I am sure that if a better management of forests around the world were proposed, that is, a more sustainable management, protecting it through laws and promoting environmental education in society, we could make a great positive change for these ecosystems.

Hi! Today is the day of the oceans and unfortunately we have not known how to take care of them.

It is sad to think that nature and the environment speak while mankind does not listen. This photograph was taken by Ralph Pace and originally appeared on bioGraphic, an online magazine on science and sustainability. 

Since the beginning of the pandemic, single-use plastics production has increased exponentially, driven in large part by the growing need for epidemiologically necessary but ecologically devastating personal protective equipment. According to one study, 129 billion masks and 65 billion gloves were used worldwide each month during the pandemic, with up to 75% likely to end up in landfills or the ocean.

The story behind the photograph encompasses a problem that affects animals such as birds, fish, marine mammals and other animals where they can mistake this personal protective equipment for food.

My favorite Food!

                                                           NOODLES WITH SAUCE 👌

I write this post in honor of this delicious and exquisite food. To be honest I like all kinds of food that doesn't have meat, so it's difficult for me choose only one.

It's ingredients are: - 1 package of noodles.

And for the sauce: - Mushrooms , - Tomato , - Oil , - Onion , - Peppers , - Carrot, - And the most important ingredient... Cheese 😜

I really like this food beacause is so easy and fast to make, it's very nutritious and tasty. It also reminds me of a time in my life where I enjoyed eating pasta every weekend with my best friend after work.

Finally, is an excellent meal for the week. It's high energy value makes it an ideal food for people who perform high physical activity. In addition, hydrates are slowly absorbed so energy is released little by little. Likewise, the fiber content of the pasta helps regulate intestinal transit and combat constipation problems.

My Favorite Piece of Technology 📱📱

Hi everybody! my favourite device is cellphone. of course, because its functional, and you can use it in so many apps and porpuse. It's uses are very versatile, from watching a movie to listening music for hours, or even reading interesting texts, among others.

In this piece of technology, you can downdload differents type of apps also you can upload your favorite picture and moments or just an opinion in differents social medials, as long as you have internet access.

The cellphone is a device that you must be carefull, because this electronic device it's too demanding for you, and you use too much of your time on it , so we need to use it carefully in order to avoid some types of disorders that in the long term can affect our vision or our sleep.

I love this picture jaja. At some point we are slaves to cell phones.
