How green are you?

Helloo!! for today I'm going to talk about the environment and how green I am. The first enviromentally friendly practices that I learned, was in the school, when de teacher explained us about the important of this practices for the future. in the schol I learned to recycle the papper or the bottles.

Really,  I don't participate in some group or association in favour of the ecology or recycle. I think that my participation is more expressive in daily things like ...I don't know,  I try to use always only one clothing bag, but sometimes I forget it. Also, I try to recycle paper, I gift my old photocopy, this may sound stupid but is very big the number of photocopy that one student produce, specially social scientist student. And, normally I use my legs for transport. I have the lucky of live very near of the university.

I don't know what is missing in our society... maybe, I would say it "we need more environmental awareness", but the true is that in this moment all the society is awareness in some grade about the big environment problems.  It's happening, we see it all days, the trash, the smog, etc . But, we don't take it the really responsability.

I think is very importan to know about environmental porblems, because actually the world is suffering great changes because of human, and this changes is affecting all tipe of life in the world, because all is connecting and the changes in the climate, for example, produce the extinction of differents species.

Free topic: My favorite anthropology

Helloo!! for today I'm going to talk about a free topic. For this reason I would take this opportunity to talk about my favorite anthropology. The name was Maria Ester Grebe.

Maria Ester Grebe Vicuña was an import chilean anthropology and ethno-musicology. She was born in Arica in 1928 and died in 2012. She began studying musicology in the Chile's University in 1965. Two years more later, in 1967, she specialized in etnomusicology en the California's University. Afterwards she joined in the social faculty of Chile's University and finally she got a doctorate in musicology in the Queen's University en Belfast, in Irlanda.

Among its main projects, those the book "Culturas indígenas de Chile - Un estudio preliminar" ("Native culture in Chile - One preliminary Study") (1998), "Cosmovisión mapuche" ("Mapuche's world view") (1972) and "Relationships between musical practice and cultural context: the kultrún and its symbolism" (1978), published in the journal "The World of Music" of the Unesco. Her principals ethnographys investigations was in the north of Chile, specifically in the Tarapaca's region, in this site, she registered a big number of traditional melodies, songs and verses belongings to aymara's culture. This work can find en the albun: "Aymara (1976-1977) - Region de Tarapacá" and "Aymara (1976-1983) - Region Arica y Parinacota.

I admire and respect so mucho this person because she was the first chilean ethnomusicologist that inspire me to specialize in this area of anthropology discipline. She is my favorite anthropology, she is a really god example of great anthropology woman and she is like I would like to become in the future.
