Energy Conservation is the Key: Lisa Jackson.
“Energy Conservation is the key" This video is about an interview done, days
before the Earth´s international day 2009, by Madison Hartke in which she interviwed Lisa Jackson, a very important member of the United States Enviormental Protection Agency (EPA) and in this video she explained the Epa´s function and job: protect human health. She also explained important facts that are affecting the word such as Pollution and its consequences; how EPA was created; the U.S. labor in this aspect; and what is doing EPA to give green jobs with the economy.
The main idea of this video was to know what is EPA doing to protect the world. It seems Lisa is a very kind person and she applied all her notions in this aspect for answering all the questions Madison did to her.
Finally, I want to end this summary with a sentence I liked a lot: “Energy conservation is the Key, IN THE 2010 EARTH DAY WE ARE GOING TO DEMOSTRATE THIS!”.
My opinion:
First of all, I think that EPA has a big responsibility, not only in the United States of America, also in the entire world.
I also think that EPA is doing a very good job not only for our Earth also for us and our environment. I also think that EPA was to be a global society, that means that it was to be around the world teaching people how to protect our environment correctly. I agree with Lisa that Environment and regulation has a cost, but we have to think about is when you do not control environment there is also a cost.
Colombia, I think, has to in some aspects the same, but in some others has to continue how it is doing, because Colombia, has also develop a good use of Energy during the last years with our Energy minister: Hernan Martinez .
Finally, for my, the moral of this interview is that people has to protect energy because it is the only way to have a good, healthy and durable word.
United States (EPA) for me is doing good things for the people and for the planet....

Uribe or Santos: Titans Duel
Álvaro Uribe Velez, the actual president of Colombia for 8 years consecutive, want to be again reelected by nation for being 12 years.
Uribe is a very good president, but he wants to change the constitution and many people, including me, disagree with this act.
If Uribe decided to live the politics and be again a common person, the most optioned person to be the next Colombian president, for me, is Juan Manuel Santos.
Juan Manuel is a very intelligent, responsible and a well known person in Colombia.
He is and has been the economy minister and the defense minister.
He is catalogued, for many people, as the best defense minister in all the history and he knows the country very well in this important aspect .
He is member of the very well known family Santos and his brother is Francisco Santos, Vice-president. Santos has a point of view very similar to Alvaro Uribe in many aspects: Military, Economy, etc, and all this makes him a very possible candidate to occupy “Nariño Palace” house of the president in Colombia.
My Opinion in this notice is that Santos will be a very good president because he has experience and he knows Colombia very well.
Finally, I hope that the next president, does not matter who is, do the things well, living Colombia in a very good situation in all the aspects: Politic, international, Judicial, Military, and Economy.

A new family member
Last Friday, March 13, 2009, my parents gave me a beautiful dog. It is called Maní, and it is a Pug. We decided to put him Mani, because is a great name and it is also a rare name for a dog.
It is 40 days old and he likes to run, play and lick things. My parents, brother, sister and I love him, and he is now a new member of Bonivento’s family.
This is a photo of a Pug and he is the same as Maní is... but he isnt Maní.

The USA economy step decline
Summary:
Barack Obama won, 3 months ago, the most important victory in his political career: He was elected by American, as the president, but Barack has to worry about the USA economy that is declining.
On February 18/09 Barack Obama announced a plan to help the American people. The plan he announced costs $ 75 billion and with this plan he will save millions of families of foreclosure. Foreclosure means: a legal process by which mortgagees right to redeem a mortage is taken away, usually because of failing to pay.
The Obama’s administration is leaded, for this project, by Timothy Geithner (The treasury Secretary of Obama’s administration) that is also spending (with authorization of Obama) billions of dollars for rebuilding banks.
This type of market is called Housing market.
My Opinion:
I think that Barack Obama is doing well with this affirmation because he needs, urgently, to save the economy of USA starting with the housing market that has to hit bottom as economists say.
Economist say: “The housing market must hit bottom before the economy can start functioning normally again” and I agree with that affirmation.
