Rethinking the future of plastics

Plastics are the most important material of the modern economy. Their popularity has kept the industry growing for 50 years, but the reality is that it's creating bigger problems for the future. 

We have to take action now!https://prezi.com/kdf8jpb_jp6f

Famara's Black Buried Treasure

Bag It

Plastics are a common material for everyday use, mainly in disposable items. This is very convenient, but do you know where does all of that plastic end?
We have to reduce the plasic footprint the humankind is leaving in this planet, because it's damaging everything.
And that's why we are focused in ideas to reduce its impact.

1. There are lots of ways to promote plastic (and other materials, for that matter) recycling. For example, in Germany, plastic bottles cost some extra cents, which are returned when you do so with the bottle, avoiding it to get lost.
2. Imposing fees (or higher fees) on plastic bags so they're more expensive. Banning them altogether would be possible as well.
3. Imposing penalty fees for throwing litter away. In some places, doing so is already heavyly penalized.
4. Colleting the plastic from the seas and the beaches, to avoid it to cause any harm to animals or in any other way- and also avoiding the Island of Plastic to become even bigger.
5. Using boidegradable plastics. These are made up of corn or other proteins, and they desintegrate and leave no trace, being as unharmful as a sheet of paper.

Horseback riding, a passion & a lifestyle, by AGGA.

I've always wanted to reach perfection in my riding skills, but I've only realized, if we reach perfection, that would be it, we have nothing new to discover, imperfection is what keeps us alive, willing to fight for success.

For me, riding is not only a sport. It is a passion that empties my mind, completely, and awakes my soul. Riding is an adventure waiting to be discovered. It is a way of finding yourself lost in deep thoughts. When you're with a horse, you get to know who you really are, just by looking your reflection in your horse's eyes. You also get to know what freedom is, and get to know how strong you are by having the courage of falling and getting back on.
The bond you create with a horse is inexplicable, it is a feeling that you can't feel with anything else, and you form a team, full of compassion, honesty and love.
A horse can be a best friend. Horses can make you travel to a million places in your imagination and even physically, they can lighten up your day in every happy way you can think of. You can reach to a certain point where you can understand your horse with his movements and his way of being with you. When you have a connection with a horse, it is as if it were a mirror, your own movements reflexes on the horse.
The place where I ride, it must be my second home. I feel safe there. It is the only place where I can find my real me.
