El dia de hoy voy a aventarles unos terminos que se utilizan en el mundo de la economia y el medio ambiente.. solo que les toca tambien clase de ingles....

[...] Environmental Economics [...] undertakes theoretical or empirical studies of the economic effects of national or local environmental policies around the world [...]. Particular issues include the costs and benefits of alternative environmental policies to deal with air pollution, water quality, toxic substances, solid waste, and global warming.[1]

El "efecto boomerang" "the boomerang effect". por aqui tambien le dicen " that it comes back to bite you in the ass"

It happens when goods that are restricted in domestic markets, because they present a "danger", are often legally exported to other countries. and the effects of this deliberate change to the ecosystem, escape the control of those who introduced them. examples include:
  • DDT Pesticide.. which lead to the accumulation of chemicals in birds and interfered with their reproduction, thus killed them
  • the introduction of rabbits in australia, became economically and environmentally damaging because rabbits had no natural predators there.
Genetic Modified CROPS (GM):

these disturb fragile ecosystems, create "super weeds and increase herbicides.
  • EU has attempted to restyrict imports of GM crops but WTO has Prohibited it (quien sabe por que???)
"Race to the Bottom":

its where nations reduce their environmental or social standards in order to gain a competitive advantage. 
  • "Pollution Havens"  are countries, states or areas attracting manufacturing firms due to its weak environmental regulations. (I wonder what country is considered the number one pollution Haven??) 
Local Agencies:

they are primarlly responsible for abatement regulation

debajo del cielo puede que haya algo



una huella en la arena
es solo una espacio temporal,
donde un cuerpo luminoso
pasa momentaneamente
si dejar huella

Que no quede huella
que no
que no

the return of the AMLO

"con la fuerza de nuestras ideas y principios, vamos a iniciar una nueva etapa de resistencia civil pacífica para la defensa del petróleo."
Amlo

"with the strenght of our ideas and our principles, we are initiating a new stage of peaceful civil resistance in defense of Oil"
translation: Sr. Matranza

MAS MEJOR MENTE DICHO! con la fuerza de nuestras ideas y principios, vamos a iniciar una nueva etapa de resistencia civil pacifica para la defensa del MEDIO AMBIENTE!

no obstante:

un buen comienzo seria Identificar el VALOR real DE los recursos naturales que extraemos del medio ambiente como El PETROLEO, madera, piedras, metales, tierra, caza y pesca. -dificilmente posible, porque

la FUERZA de NUESTRAS IDEAS Y NUESTROS PRINCIPIOS son las principales RESISTENCIAs en nosotros mismos que nos desvian del VALOR ECOLOGICO que nos permitiria CLARIDAD Y JUSTICIA.

Addicionalmente al llamado de nuestro Presidente REal de Mexico a la lucha por el petroleo bajo el nombre de "EQUIDAD SOCIAL" esta lucha DEBE en mi opinion cambiar ideologias y metas capitalistas metidas en el fondod de nuestras ideas y nuestros principios; asi poder dar justicia y RESPETO a nuetros RECURSOS ECOLOGICOS .

la BASE de LA ENERGia Y la Economia debera ser Para el pueblo, dice AMLO y yo me pregunto PARA QUE? para que el pueblo continue explotando, contaminando y FALTANDOLE AL RESPETO AL ecosistema en el que vive. DONDE esta lA EQUIDAD.

PArtidario de AMLO (algo es algo)

Teaching sustainabilityBY Bob Norberg
THE PRESS DEMOCRAT

Students in a Sonoma State University course are studying how to build sustainable communities, dealing with issues that range from ecology to economics.“We are drilling into transportation, land use, housing, food, energy and water,” said Rocky Rohwedder, an SSU professor of environmental studies and planning. “What are the equity issues, the economic issues. It is very theoretical and hard to wrap your hands around.”To bring it down to earth, the class looks at examples of what some cities and countries are doing.“You can have a sustainable world and still have a warm shower and cold beer,” Rohwedder. “But we have to think differently.”Students are looking closely at Sonoma State’s own practices as well.“The university needs to be a model of responsibility, of sustainability,” Rohwedder said. “If not here, then where? How can we expect communities around us to have sustainable policies and programs if the university doesn’t do it?”The class is adhering to the United Nation’s proclamation of a decade of study of sustainable development, running from 2005 to 2015.Its title, “Planning for Sustainable Communities,” is meant to be a step beyond Earth Day.“Earth Day has been about endangered species and about recycling,” Rohwedder said. “This class is asking the bigger question ... what next ... looking at structures and change for communities and not just green consumerism.”People must make substantial changes in how they live to bring the earth back into balance, so that they are not consuming more resources than the earth can supply, he said.“The bottom line here is we can’t just tweak the edges and get to where we need to be. We need an 80 percent decline in carbon dioxide in the next 20 years,” Rohwedder said. “You can screw in only so many fluorescent light bulbs and drive only so many Priuses. We need new structures and new models.”Rohwedder said the living conditions of residents of developing countries are important.“You can’t tackle ecological problems without addressing economics. We have to address the impact of poverty on how people treat the ecology,” he said.“If we can’t get them out of the $1 a day economy, we can’t get them to address their water and air.”Rohwedder said there are examples of cities and countries that are doing good things.In some parts of the Netherlands, there are separate bicycle lanes with their own traffic signals, and hundreds of public bicycles are ridden and then left for someone else to use.In Curtiva, Brazil, impoverished residents are being put to work cleaning parks and handling recycling programs, improving their economic status.For transportation, the city has roadways that change direction according to the time of day.Students also see some successes at Sonoma State.The university gets high marks for it renovated Salazar Hall. When it was remodeled, the building was fitted with a rooftop photovoltaic array, evaporative coolers and an advanced, computer-controlled energy management system, decreasing energy use by 40 percent.At the new student recreation center, the basketball court is made up of ground-up vehicle tires, the seats are webbed with the end rolls of seat belt material and gray water is used for the toilets and urinals.The university has its own sorting center for recycling, composts its yard clippings and uses native California and drought-resistant plants.Students want the university give out free bus passes, do more to support car and van pools, build more secure bike racks, and put individual water and electric meters in the dorms.You can reach Staff Writer Bob Norberg at 521-5206 or bob.norberg@pressdemocrat.com
