Post 4 : Permaculture


Watching the permaculture video and observing the changes and benefits it brings to a system is incredible, permaculture is the balance between species, ecological principles, ethics, sustainability, care of the soil and being able to sustain life in the present and in the future.

Permaculture is a very good system to have diverse crops that are in harmony with the environment and to be able to produce your own food and what you need without wasting resources, food and money.

In Chile there are several organizations that are trying to promote this system, it would be incredible if this type of crops would expand and that people could produce their own food and at the same time share their crops with their neighbors and in this way form more united communities. The problem in Chile is that there is a lot of inequality and there are a lot of people who do not have the spaces to promote this system and in my opinion each municipality should give up some places to have this system or community gardens, this would benefit each community and would make people eat better, creating an environment of balance with nature and fellowship between neighbors.

Post 3 : Covid 19

Luckily all my family has been in very good health and none of them have gotten sick but we have all been very worried about what is happening in Chile and in the world, I never thought I would live a world pandemic in my life. 

These months of quarantine and not being able to see my friends have been very difficult, I miss them a lot because they are like brothers and sisters to me and I miss them a lot and it makes me very sad not to be able to hug them.

Looking on the bright side of the pandemic I could say that thanks to being in my house I have been able to take many classes on different topics on digital platforms and that has been great because I don't have to move from my house or travel to other countries to take them. 

The pandemic has made stress feel much stronger and I am much more tired, mental health has to take much more strength because it is very important and much more in these difficult times for everyone.
