About the enviromental crisis

About the environmental crisis.

Today i'm going to talk about the environmental crisis and global warming. Certainly this is something that affect us all, from newborns to older people (and of course it affects the most to young people because our adulthood and the rest of our life is going to be catastrophic in environmental terms), affects poor and rich, doesn't matter where you are from because, as obvious as it sound, we are living all together in one single planet. 

Despite of all that, we are immersed in capitalism, and i think this is a main aspect and the principal responsible of this catastrophe. Our world is collapsing out of selfishness and greed. We are extracting on a massive way thing that are not a property. Is just sick to think that we are living on a world where everything can be bought (not everything but most), and even so, this world is extremely unequal. There is people that have money for the equivalence of three lifes or more, and there is poeple that doesn't have bread for breakfast. Is just sick.

It makes me angry and scared. Scared because of course i don't wanna die young and the idea of an apocalyse is frightening. But most of all, i'm angry. Angry with us, with the human being, including me. What do we think? That the planet is ours? That animals are there for us to murder and eat them? That the sea is our trash can? That the forest is an ornament and we can cut and burn it whenever we want? We are a plague. 

I think that rage (measured) is sometimes useful, it hepls on making you act, and do things that you care about. I think it's late for just start changing, this global awareness should have happened decades ago. But better late than never. We need to change our lifestyles and above all, we need to change our minds, change how we see the world, bacause it is not ours.

A job i would like to have.

A job I would like to have.

When it comes to work and having a job, the most important thing for me is doing something that makes me happy. I'm not really sure about what job i would like to have in the future, but it will definitely be related with the arts. I have imagined myself as a tattoo artist a lot lately, that's something i would like to do for a while as soon as i finish studying Design in Fau. A fantasy i have is tattooing while traveling around the world for a few years, i think it would be a really enriching experience, especially if i get to learn new languages. I would love to learn french and italian. Luckily this picture is not that far away from being a reality in the future because i do know a few about tattooing and i have done tattoos in the past, so i plan to retake it when i finish my studies.

Another job i imagine myself having in the future is as a designer. It's not very hard to guess because that is what i'm studying currently. I would like to create nice objects and spaces. Something i really like about design is that it solves problems in a beautiful way, using both art and having in consideration the utility of it. I would like to create design objects in a sustainable way, always trying to help the enviroment.
And, maybe it is not a job itself but i would really like to somehow make a change by being an animal rescuer and an environmental activist. Because i care about this things, i love animals and i think it is really important to be aware of the damage we do to the planet as humanity. It makes me really sad to know how we abuse nature and animals by killing them for our benefit. So i'd like to use some of my time on doing something that helps the panet and the animals.
Of course there is a lot more i would like to do, maybe as a job or maybe as a hobby, i don't know clearly. Anyway, it is never late to learn and do new things, so i guess i have a lot of time yet to figure it out. :)
