Hello and welcome to my blog

Apparently, the blog fever has caught me rather late, considering the millions of blogs that exist nowadays... Well, what can I say about this one? Just that is going to be special... :)

Because this blog is going to talk about something that matters to all of us: the wonderful world we live in, and how all of its living beings (including us, humans) are constantly powered by nature. That's something that I would like everybody to keep in mind at all times, to have it present in every conversation, in every discussion: we are connected to the world that surround us, to the people in our neighbourhood, in our school, our basket team. But also to animals and plants, mountains and rivers, oceans and deserts. Everything plays a role in our everyday life. This is not about us taking care of Nature. We are just another species, a very special one. But we don't protect "the environment", we are a part of it.
Nature has empowered humanity to do great things, and now our civilization needs to realize one thing. In the long run, we can only achieve our full potential as a species by accepting that, as a piece of a greater system, we can't just change its parts freely in order to suit our needs. And yeah, we all know we've managed to screw up a lot of that nature over the past two centuries. But, hey, make no mistake, this is not going to be a apocalyptic story of fear, but a tale of hope.

Among other stuff, it is somehow going to include a collection of experiences that have changed me over the past three years, how I've developed a different perception of the world and how they have raised my appreciation for its beauty and my concern about its problems. I want this blog to be a place where we I can share with you those issues about our Earth that are worrisome, so that we can be aware of the circumstances and from them take action and make a change. One small change after another, one person after another. Raising global awareness, encouraging local communities.

And well, this blog will also be different because it is going to be written in two languages simultaneously (English y Español) or that's my intent so far, and guess what, we all get to passively learn/improve one or the other language. (Al lector hispanohablante, perdón por escribir este primer post en inglés).
