1) Fill in the definition here:

The total among of greenhouse gases produced to, directly and indirectly, support human activities, usually expressed in equivalent tons of Carbon Dioxide (CO2).

2) Provide some examples (from the same website):

- Amount of CO2 emitted by burning 1 liter of gasoline 2 kg of CO2

- Driving a car for 6 km emits 1 kg of CO2

- 3.1 kg of CO2 is tested when making 1/3 of a cheeseburger

 

- Fly with a plane a distance of 2.2 km or 1.375 miles emits 1 kg of CO2

- Production of 2 plastic bottles emits 1 kg of CO2

3. Quiz results:

- What is your carbon footprint weight? 6,9 tones 

- What is the target weight impact? My carbon footprint is 65% 

- My percentage was in stuff 20%, travel 20%, food 20%, home 40%

7) About what proportion of mammal species could disappear by 2100? 

    1/5 of all species on earth could be extinct.

8) Which type of plant would probably grow faster with more CO2, weeds, or crops?

    Weeds probably because they grow faster up to three times faster than crops.

9) How many dollars has climate change cost us in wheat and maize losses per year since 1980?         

    Since 1980 it’s estimated climate change has already cost us 5 billion dollars a year on average in       

    wheat and maize losses.

-------- I answered the questions by watching this YouTube video https://youtu.be/CLtFwUTrE4E ----------

10) According to a UN report, about how long do we have until climate change is irreversible? 

We have little more than a decade to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere otherwise the very bad serious consequences 

11) Give an example of negative changes we’re already seeing. 

An example of climate change is heavy rains and other extreme weather events that are becoming more frequent and cause flooding along with deteriorating water quality, and even in some areas a progressive decline in water resources.

12) What would be the cost of ending the use of fossil fuels?

The cost of an estimated 54 billion dollars.

In the context of the pandemic that we are today and living in Santiago, it is very difficult to take my concentration to something specific, since there are different questions such as will I be well in the near future? While I don't meditate, I find my relaxation in singing and playing instruments 🙆🏽‍♀️✨🙌🏽 , which in a way makes me calmer and clearing myself from all the stress of college. I have many playlists in Spotify for when I am stressed jajajaja 

                   

                                               

🌸 What do you think of the video? Do you meditate? Why? Do you feel it works? Why?

I liked the video because the explanation was very easy to understand, besides that the main idea is very interesting, although it is a new theme for me (since I do not meditate) I have been able to notice in some people how good it has been to perform this activity both to relax and to strengthen our self-love, feelings, among many other things.

🌸 How are you feeling these days? Why?

These days I have felt tired, stressed with insomnia, and with many pains. I attribute it to the burden by the university mainly, the long hours of study sitting at a desk, unable to eat well, and with many concerns apart from the university as a result of the pandemic.

🌸 How do I feel when the English class starts?

When I started English classes some days it gave me relief among all the classes I have a week, I was allowed to get some rest and think about other things. There were other days that really overwhelmed me a lot more, simply because I felt or feel overwhelmed with all the things I have to do, but then I calm down and move on.

My reflexion about Stereotypes in Chile ✨🌌

                                                

Stereotypes are thoughts so normalized that we have that sometimes we do not realize that they exist. In Chiloé that is where I live there are a very traditionalist and sexist culture where stereotypes are very present, fortunately, my family never forced me to do anything I did not want within this allowed me to play with cars instead of dolls, dressing in the colors and clothes I want, anyway, but not many of my friends were allowed to do this, as they dressed them with "colors for girls" and my friends too. Not only is it seen in young children, but also in adults where you are forced or cooked with your mom at family gatherings while men are sitting watching TV or you should stay at home without doing certain activities because they are cataloged "for men". However, with the different movements that have been getting more and more, we have been able to realize how entrenched we have this culture of stereotypes and sexist (because they go hand in hand in my opinion) that allow us to reflect and rethink as a society or individually as a person, in turn allowing us not to fall into the actions that perhaps by ignorance or tradition we did and teaching the new generations that do not define you what you do, you want or choose, but as you really are as a person and what you give to others.
