http://elitedaily.com/life/toxins-air-pollution/1312145/

This article was writted for Felisa Wiley

The air is a basic component in our lives as we breathe 3.000 gallons of air each day, but much of this breathed air is polluted due to chemical reactions or harmful materials such us: carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide, sulfur dioxide, ozone, lead and particulate matter. Is bad for the humans to breathe air polluted, because, it can cause various diseases such us: asthma, emphysema and cancer, and environmental issues such us: smog, acid rain, ozone depletion and climate change. So any change we make can be small or big change something for the environment.
In 2012, 7 million people died due to air pollution, over half of those deaths were for stoves, open fires and smoking. For conserve our home to the pollution we have to eliminate:

  • Chemicals released from modern building and furniture 
  • Combustion gases from fireplaces and stoves 
  • Chemical fumes from paints and solvents 
  • Gases seeping through foundation 
  • Mold and bacteria 
  • Chemicals from cleaning products 
  • Carbon monoxide fumes from garages 
  • Cigarette smoke
The most difficult to remove are the gases, because are invisible and can seep walls and under doors, thus the global air pollution is a threat to our environment. Among all we have still time to save the planet.

Here are seven simple steps to improve indoor air pollution in your home:

1) Open the windows as much us possible: because the fumes leaves your home and enters air fresh

2) Clean all filters regullary: air purifiers and vacuums will have minimized the emisions of air pollution.

3) Make DIY home goods that won't emit harmful chemicals: with a naturals candles or simmer pots the house will smell good.

4) Decorated your home with houseplants: plants provide a natural air cleaned.

5) Use eco-friendly, non-toxic cleaning supplies and low-volatile organic compound paints: anything that emits any odor.

6) Don't buy carpets: because the carpets retain moisture and we have to eliminate the mold and dust mites.
7) Get tested for radon: because causes aproximately thousands of lung cancer deaths.

I think that if everyone will put her support for create a new world we will can get it. We could live in a world free of toxic gases and possessed more important than  our lives in danger.

But today we will talk about that is under the dephts of the volcanic island. Recently an eerie statues found at the bottom of the ocean. Lanzarote it has become in the first museum of underwater sculpture in Europe. It consists of 400 statues, which are works of artist Jason deCaires Taylor, which it is know for the facilities designed in Mexico, the Bahamas and the Thames. This work is intended to spark a conversation.
The sculptures are constructed from marine cement neutral PH, which is a material that is kept in good conditions. This sculptures are meant to represent the relationship between humans and nature, and in another aspect the relationship between harmony ans art.
But they also created this museum to attract sea creatures, allowing the growth of corals to give new live to barren seas. Is a mueum that open to scuba divers and snorkelers to observe more closely the incredible statues. To make this work he was inspìred by The Rubicon that is a group of 35 human figures frozen mid-walk beneath the waves, that centres with the climate change and signifies the point of no return.

I'm very interested in this notice, because I don't know that in the dephts of Lanzarote that founs this museum of scultures.I would like to explore the bottom of the ocean to see the scultures.

http://www.bbc.com/travel/story/20151119-the-tiny-island-of-shooting-stars

The Channel Island of Sark is a British crown dependency with 600 habitants, it measures only two square miles, but there aren't street lights. In 2011 it unveiled the world's first Dark Sky Island. Sark is located just 25 miles west of France's Normandy coast it has won the award, not only for the sky, but the efforts of this community to preserved their darkness. In 2015 it opened the observatory of Sark, for contemplate the sky stars.People take turns peering heavenward through a simple, sliding roof. From the island, you can see the Pleiades cluster in its full magnificence.
The ban on street lights means that any night-time walks are generally led by torchlight, while the lack of cars means people get around by foot, bicycle or horse-drawn carriage. Along the island’s dirt lanes Sark's array  have wonderful old buildings  from grand 16th century manors to brightly coloured cottages and shops with corrugated iron roofs. Sark have a small island next to him, her name is Little Sark, where that have handrails were built by German prisoners of war in 1945 following the island's liberation from Nazi rule, people crossed due to the risk of winds blowing them over the into the sea on the other side.
One of the tradition of Sark is the "Veilles" that have been held for centuries, bringing islanders together on cold nights to share the warmth of a fire while swapping stories and other entertainments.

I think it's an interesting text because it gives us information from one part of the planet, thanks to its inhabitants makes wonderful.I would like to travel to Sark to enter the observatory and contemplate the starry sky.
